Novi, MI 48377, USA

We are seeking an experienced Technical Lead with strong expertise in Automotive Ethernet and In-Vehicle Communication (IOC) to lead the development, integration, and troubleshooting of automotive communication solutions.

The candidate will be responsible for Ethernet communication stack integration, protocol implementation, ECU-level communication, and end-to-end integration across automotive electronic control units (ECUs). The role requires a strong understanding of automotive networking protocols, embedded software development, and AUTOSAR communication architecture, including AUTOSAR Classic and/or Adaptive.

The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience in automotive Ethernet, TCP/IP, SOME/IP, network debugging, and embedded software integration, along with the ability to drive technical discussions and resolve complex issues.

• Design, develop, configure, and integrate automotive Ethernet communication solutions.
• Implement and troubleshoot Ethernet‑based communication between ECUs, domain controllers, and other in‑vehicle systems.
• Analyse network communication, connectivity, latency, packet loss, and performance issues.
• Support Ethernet switch configuration, VLANs, multicast, and Quality of Service (QoS), as applicable
• Develop, configure, and integrate Ethernet communication components in AUTOSAR‑based automotive systems.
• Work with AUTOSAR Classic and/or Adaptive communication architecture, depending on the target platform.
• Integrate and troubleshoot communication protocols such as TCP/IP, UDP, SOME/IP, SOME/IP Service Discovery, and DoIP.
• Collaborate with system architects, embedded software developers, hardware engineers, and validation teams.
• Perform ECU‑level and system‑level integration, debugging, and defect resolution.
• Conduct technical reviews and ensure adherence to coding standards and software development processes.
• Identify technical risks, integration dependencies, and potential bottlenecks.
• Analyse Ethernet traffic and diagnose communication issues using Wireshark, Vector CANoe, or equivalent tools.
• Perform root‑cause analysis and drive corrective and preventive actions.
• Maintain technical documentation, integration reports, and defect analysis records.
• Contribute to software design documentation, interface specifications, technical reviews, and development guidelines.
• Support HIL/SIL testing, vehicle‑level integration, and production readiness activities.

• Mandatory hands‑on experience with AUTOSAR Classic, Embedded C/C++, CAN/CAN‑FD, Automotive Ethernet, UDS diagnostics (DID/DTC/RID), ARXML integration, unit testing, and MCU‑level Flash/RAM debugging and optimization
• Strong experience in CAN/CAN‑FD, UDS diagnostics, including DID/DTC/RID
• Experienced in ARXML integration/configuration, MCU memory/flash optimization
• Strong experience in automotive embedded software development and in‑vehicle communication.
• Hands‑on experience with Automotive Ethernet development, configuration, integration, or troubleshooting.
• Good understanding of Ethernet fundamentals, TCP/IP, UDP, IP addressing, routing, and network communication.
• Knowledge of automotive communication protocols, including SOME/IP and/or DoIP.
• Working knowledge of AUTOSAR Classic and/or AUTOSAR Adaptive communication architecture.
• Experience with ECU integration, embedded software debugging, and root‑cause analysis.
• Proficiency in embedded C/C++ programming and debugging.
• Hands‑on experience with Wireshark, Vector CANoe, or equivalent network analysis tools.
• Strong problem‑solving skills and the ability to independently resolve technical issues.
• Experience leading technical activities and…
