Key Responsibilities:

• Problem Solving:

Utilize AI-assisted and traditional debugging techniques to analyze complex hardware/software issues and drive them to resolution.

• Embedded SW Development:

Develop & Test robust, safety-critical Embedded C code for various microcontrollers: In Basic Software (BSW), Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL), low-level drivers (ADC, PWM, SPI, CAN, LIN), and Product specific Application SW.

• Powertrain Application:

Implement software for high-voltage and electromechanical products—including Inverters, DC-DC Converters, Battery Management Systems (BMS), Thermal Management, and Smart Actuators—translating control laws and physical constraints into efficient code.

• AI & Innovation:

Actively leverage Generative AI and Agentic AI tools to accelerate development, and optimize workflows, while applying LLM fundamentals to automate routine engineering tasks.

• Standard Compliance:

Execute all development activities in strict adherence to automotive standards, including AUTOSAR architecture, ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), and ISO 21434 (Cybersecurity).

• System-Level Contribution:

Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineers to define system constraints and ensure software optimizes the physics of the powertrain (e.g., cooling strategies, motor torque limits).

• Quality & KPIs:

Maintain high standards for code quality (MISRA C compliance), documentation, and testing, ensuring all personal and team Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are met or exceeded.

• Agile Collaboration:

Work effectively within an Agile/Scrum framework, participating in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and reviews to deliver incremental value.

• Cross-Functional Teamwork:

Engage smoothly with cross-functional teams—including Requirements, System Engineering, and Testing/Validation—to ensure seamless integration and traceability from customer requirements to final product.

• Reporting:

Provide clear, regular status reports to management regarding development progress, risks, and technical challenges.

Candidate Profile:

• Education:

B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

• Experience:

0–2 years of experience in embedded software development (internships and academic projects count).

• AI:

Excellent Generative AI adoption, Agentic AI experience, and LLM fundamentals. Machine Learning is a plus

• Electrical Systems:

Understanding of Power Electronics (Inverters, DC-DC converters) and Electric Motors. Knowledge of Control Theory: Automatic Control, Control Laws and modeling (Simulink/MATLAB).

• Mechanical Systems:

Basic understanding of Mechanics, Electromechanics, and Thermodynamics (heat transfer/cooling systems) is a strong advantage.

• Programming:

Strong proficiency in any programming language.

• Microcontrollers (is a plus):

Deep understanding of microcontroller architecture (memory map, registers, interrupts, timers).

• Embedded Fundamentals (is a plus):

Knowledge of RTOS concepts, Low-level Software, and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL).

• Automotive Standards (is a plus):

Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and methodology) and Functional Safety ISO26262 is a plus.

• High problem solving skills, and debugging.
