This position provides technical leadership in control software domains, including control algorithms, plant and system modeling, software architecture, and integration across ECU platforms. The role works closely with platform software teams to ensure clear interfaces between control software and underlying base software layers.

The role ensures compliance with industry standards including AUTOSAR, ISO
26262, and ASPICE, while driving adoption of modern development practices such as Model-Based Design (MATLAB/Simulink) and CI/CT (Continuous Integration / Continuous Testing) to improve software quality, scalability, and development efficiency. The position also serves as a key interface to systems, hardware, validation teams, customers, and global engineering centers to support effective collaboration, risk management, and successful delivery of control software in terms of quality, cost, and timing.

Up to 25% travel.

Essential Functions:

• Lead the design, development, and delivery of embedded control software for automotive systems across multiple programs.
• Direct control algorithm development, system and plant modeling, simulation, and software integration across ECU platforms.
• Drive Model-Based Design adoption using MATLAB/Simulink, including model development, simulation, auto-code generation, and integration into embedded software.
• Oversee execution across the software V-cycle, including requirements, architecture, implementation, integration, testing, and release.
• Ensure robust control software architecture, performance, scalability, and alignment with platform interfaces including AUTOSAR-based environments.
• Establish and enforce CI/CT practices, including automated build, integration, and validation pipelines to improve software quality and release consistency.
• Ensure compliance with ASPICE, ISO
  26262, and applicable coding and development standards across control software activities.
• Lead debugging, validation, and optimization activities using simulation, bench, and vehicle-level test environments.
• Manage resource planning, technical priorities, and cross-functional collaboration with systems, hardware, base software, and validation teams.
• Lead customer and stakeholder technical interactions, including design reviews, requirement clarifications, and issue resolution.
• Develop engineering talent through mentoring, coaching, and building technical depth in control software disciplines.
• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration between application software, base software (BSW), systems, hardware, and validation teams.
• Drive software quality and continuous improvement, including metrics tracking, defect resolution, and process enhancements.
• Oversee software integration strategy, release planning, and delivery schedules across programs.
