We are seeking a highly experienced and influential Senior Software Engineer to lead the firmware development and integration for a family of innovative connected modular systems. These multi-functional products can be used both inside and outside the vehicle, creating a seamless and connected user experience. As a technical leader, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of vehicle interaction and personalization, setting the architectural direction for the project. This role requires a deep mastery of embedded systems, connectivity, diagnostics, and a talent for integrating third-party solutions. Strong leadership and collaboration skills are essential for success in this position.
What you'll do…
• Lead Firmware Development: Lead the design and implementation of application firmware for connected vehicle devices, focusing on optimizing performance and ensuring robust security. This includes architectural design, code implementation, and ongoing maintenance.
• System Integration: Oversee the integration of various subsystems, including those provided by 3rd party collaborators and vendors, into the overall project. This involves close collaboration with external partners to review firmware specifications, provide design guidance, and ensure seamless interoperability.
• Design and implement end-to-end diagnostics and telemetry features. This includes developing updates for embedded systems and supporting Android applications/bridges, as well as driving full-stack validation from the device to the cloud.
• Ensure continuous improvements, high performance, and robust issue resolution for all developed functionalities, both before and after product launch.
• Connectivity and Communication: Design and implement firmware architecture and communication protocols between the modular devices and other systems, including in-vehicle networks and mobile devices. Ensure secure and reliable data exchange between different components.
• Testing and Validation: Collaborate closely with the validation team to develop and execute comprehensive test plans to validate firmware functionality, performance, stability, and adherence to requirements. This includes defining test cases, developing test scripts, and analyzing test results. Active participation in all testing phases, from unit testing to system-level testing, is expected.
• Continuous Integration: Integrate project source code into the Continuous Integration (CI) software build infrastructure to automate the build process, perform automated testing, and ensure code quality.
• Documentation: Maintain clear and concise documentation of firmware architecture, design decisions, and code implementation.
