Senior ECU Software & Systems Engineer

As a Senior ECU Software & Systems Engineer within the Indian Motorcycle team, you will be responsible for the end-to-end development of vehicle control systems and embedded application software for Electronic Control Units (ECUs). This unique role combines component-level controls engineering with model-based software development using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink. You will lead the design, integration, implementation, verification, and release of control strategies and embedded software, ensuring robust, scalable, and high-performing solutions across multiple vehicle platforms.

• Lead the design, integration, and application software of motorcycle vehicle control modules.
• Develop embedded application software using model-based design methodologies (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink) for deployment to vehicle control modules.
• Translate feature and system requirements into detailed software and control system requirements, ensuring traceability within requirements management tools.
• Document and maintain software unit requirements and supporting design documentation.
• Own both control algorithm development and software implementation for assigned ECU features, ensuring alignment between system intent and deployed code.
• Design application software based on system and software requirements while adhering to internal development standards.
• Drive platform-based strategies for controls and software enabling reuse across vehicle programs.
• Integrate, build, and release application software using model-based code generation tools and target-specific build tool chains.
• Experience with A2L file creation, maintenance, validation, and troubleshooting to support ECU calibration, measurement, and diagnostic activities.
• Establish and lead project development schedules from concept through production implementation in alignment with product development processes.
• Support and execute verification and validation activities including MIL, SIL, HIL, (as applicable) and vehicle-level testing to ensure software meets quality standards.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, test, and program management.
• Interface with suppliers to ensure software and hardware deliverables meet program milestones and technical requirements.
• Perform root cause analysis and troubleshooting of vehicle control, software, and integration issues.
• Support functional safety and development processes including HARA, DFMEA, SFMEA, and FTA as applicable.
• Own the creation, maintenance, and continuous improvement of software development processes, tools, standards, and training.
• Other duties as required.

• B.S. or higher in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of experience developing embedded control systems and ECU software.
• Strong experience with model-based development tools such as MATLAB/Simulink for control and software design.
• Experience generating production code from models (e.g., Embedded Coder) and integrating software into production build environments.
• Knowledge of vehicle communication networks including CAN, J1939, UDS, and CAN FD.
• Experience with requirements development, requirements management tools, and traceability processes.
• Strong understanding of control theory, system dynamics, and embedded systems design.
• Experience with project planning and coordination preferred.
• Experience with DFMEA, SFMEA, Functional Safety, and related development processes desired.
• Hands‑on experience with electrical test equipment, data acquisition, debugging tools, and vehicle diagnostics preferred.
• Embedded hardware and electronic circuit experience preferred.
• Familiarity with vehicle systems, architectures, and mechanical interactions preferred.
• Strong problem‑solving, troubleshooting, communication, and collaboration skills.
• Ability to work efficiently in a fast‑paced, cross‑functional development environment.

• Some travel required (up to 10%) to support vehicle builds, testing, supplier interaction, and program activities.
• Fast‑paced office and lab development environment.
• Hands‑on…
