Note, this is a hybrid position whereby the employee will work both from home and from the aforementioned worksite. Hence, the employee must live within a reasonable commuting distance from the worksite. Design, develop, and integrate the embedded software platform for next-generation ADAS systems, utilizing both high-performance C++ and Classic AUTOSAR architectures. Create high-level architectural documentation and develop software requirements for complex ADAS ECUs, ensuring seamless integration between application software components and the basic software layers.

Leverage object-oriented design techniques, the C++ Standard Template Library, and AUTOSAR component-based modeling to create robust, efficient, and scalable software. Apply deep knowledge of communication protocols and middleware, including CAN/CAN-FD, Ethernet, SPI, SOME/IP, and Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA). Apply ISO 26262 Functional Safety principles to Driver Assist and Platform software, implementing safety mechanisms like memory partitioning and E2E protection. Demonstrate a commitment to quality by applying best practices to coding standards (MISRA), static analysis, code coverage, and architectural reviews.

Support real-world testing of ADAS features, working closely with partner teams to integrate software on diverse ECU hardware. Flash, validate, and debug code using bench, HIL setups, and prototype vehicles, utilizing AUTOSAR configuration tools and hardware debuggers. Domestic and/or international travel may be required up to 5%.
