• MCU Porting & Platform Bring-up
  • Port an existing embedded software stack (RTOS + MCAL + middleware) from an NXP MCU to a new MCU platform.
  • Bring up core peripherals on the new MCU (CAN, GPIO, UART, SPI, timers, interrupts, etc.).
  • Develop or adapt board support packages and hardware abstraction layers.
• RTOS & Middleware Integration
  • Integrate and configure an automotive-grade RTOS on the new MCU.
  • Ensure correct task scheduling, resource management, and performance under real-time constraints.
• Adapt and validate CAN stack and UDS protocol (ISO 14229) support on the new MCU.
• Ensure correct handling of DTCs, DIDs, and OTA commands.
• Maintain compliance with automotive standards (ISO 11898, AUTOSAR MCAL if applicable).
• System Interface Development
  • Implement and test communication interfaces with an external high-end CPU via GPIO, UART, and SPI.
  • Support CPU power control, suspend/resume, and status reporting.
• Testing & Validation
  • Develop test cases for regression and validation on the new platform.
  • Debug and resolve integration issues at hardware/software boundaries.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in embedded software development on MCUs.
• Hands-on experience with MCAL driver development/porting and low-level peripheral bring-up.
• Experience with CAN bus communication and diagnostics protocols (UDS, ISO 14229).
• Solid understanding of embedded C/C++, linker scripts, memory management, and interrupt handling.
• Strong background in RTOS-based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, AUTOSAR OS, OSEK, etc.).
• Familiarity with automotive-grade development practices (MISRA C, ISO 26262 awareness, version control, unit testing).
• Practical experience using multimeter, oscilloscope, and JTAG/debuggers for hardware bring-up, measurement, and troubleshooting.
• Great team player, dedicated to the company, willing to take on challenging tasks.

• Background in AUTOSAR Classic stack configuration and porting
• Prior experience with NXP MCUs and at least one other major automotive MCU vendor (e.g., Renesas, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, TI).
• Experience with any tools from Vector.

Annual Salary Range: ($110,000 - $130,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

• Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
