Job Description
As an Embedded Controls Software Engineer, you will be a critical contributor to the design, development, and validation of advanced embedded control software for next-generation automotive systems. This specialized role focuses on the Body Control Module, directly impacting vehicle safety, user experience, and electrification readiness. You will leverage your expertise in controls theory, real-time systems, and embedded architecture to architect, develop, and optimize complex, safety-critical software throughout the entire product lifecycle.

The Body Control Software team is a team dedicated to creating Body Control Application Software components, developing and enhancing existing software components that integrate with existing architectures, as well as our next-generation vehicle systems. Join our diverse global team located in Dearborn, Palo Alto, Ottawa, Mexico, Germany, and India to design and develop embedded software in areas related to cloud based computing, ad-hoc computing, and embedded platforms.

PRIMARY

SKILLS REQUIRED:

4. Embedded Software – Candidate should demonstrate the full lifecycle of embedded software development — from requirements to implementation to on-target validation — for safety-critical automotive systems. Example:
Taking a system-level requirement for a new BCM feature, translating it into a functional spec, implementing the control logic, and validating it through SIL/HIL testing using Vector CANoe before production release.
5. Embedded Systems – Candidate should understand the broader hardware-software interaction, real-time constraints, and communication protocols (CAN/LIN) governing embedded automotive systems. Example:
Diagnosing a field issue where a BCM module intermittently fails to respond over CAN, performing root cause analysis using CANoe traces and the MULTI debugger, and implementing a fix that accounts for timing/interrupt behavior on the target ECU.

Skills Required:

Matlab, Coding, C++, Embedded Software, Embedded Systems
1. MATLAB – Candidate should demonstrate hands-on experience using MATLAB/Simulink (including Stateflow) to model, design, and simulate embedded control algorithms for BCM features. Example:
Building a Simulink state machine to model a vehicle lighting or door control feature, running Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) simulations to validate logic, and using Model Advisor checks to ensure modeling standards compliance before code generation.
2. Coding – Candidate should be able to write clean, efficient, and standards-compliant code for embedded automotive applications, including scripting for automation. Example:
Developing a Python automation script to parse test logs and auto-generate pass/fail reports, reducing manual validation time during regression testing cycles. 3. C++ - Candidate should show proficiency writing and debugging C/C++ code for real-time,…
