Senior Digital Key Engineer

Position Overview:

Need highly skilled and analytical Digital Key Engineer to lead the implementation, validation, and debugging of next-generation vehicle access systems. Person will be responsible for ensuring seamless, secure interoperability between smartphone devices and vehicle architectures and will serve as the core technical expert for root-cause analysis, defect triage, and physical/protocol-layer timing analysis across NFC, BLE, and UWB channels, closely aligning with Car Connectivity Consortium (CCC) standards.

Key Responsibilities:

End-to-End Implementation:
Oversee the integration of CCC Digital Key specifications within the vehicle architecture, ensuring strict compliance with security and privacy requirements. Defect Triage & Root Cause Analysis:
Act as the primary technical point for identifying, isolating, and tracking system defects across hardware, embedded software, and mobile application layers. Protocol & Timing Analysis:
Analyze time-critical messaging sequences (ranging from BLE discovery to UWB distance bounding) using logic analyzers, protocol sniffers, and oscilloscope captures. Interoperability Validation:
Test and debug communication performance variations across diverse mobile hardware platforms, operating systems (iOS/Android), and environmental conditions. Performance Tuning:
Optimize physical-layer connection workflows to meet strict latency thresholds for vehicle wake-up, welcome lighting, and hands-free passive entry.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

Partner with Tier-1 suppliers, internal software teams, and cybersecurity experts to address vulnerabilities and architectural bottlenecks.
