Overview

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with strong expertise in automotive systems and AUTOSAR architecture to join a global engineering team. In this role, you will contribute to the development of next-generation embedded software solutions for automotive platforms, including advanced driver integration and real-time systems.

You will work on complex, large-scale systems involving millions of lines of code, gaining hands-on experience in embedded software development within a formal automotive framework. This is a technical leadership role with opportunities to influence architecture, mentor engineers, and contribute to high-impact projects in areas such as autonomous driving.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with global software developers, application engineers, project managers, and customers;
• Design and configure AUTOSAR architecture components (BSW, MCAL, RTE) using tools such as EB Tresos or Vector DaVinci;
• Develop, integrate, and optimize embedded software for automotive ECUs using C/C++;
• Implement and maintain communication stacks (CAN, CAN-FD, Ethernet, LIN);
• Perform validation and debugging activities, including unit/component testing (HIL/SIL);
• Analyze system-level issues and perform on-chip debugging using tools such as Lauterbach, CANoe, or CANalyzer;
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers;
• Ensure compliance with automotive standards such as ASPICE and ISO 26262;
• Contribute to software architecture design and continuous improvement of development processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field;
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ (Python is a plus);
• Solid experience in embedded systems and software development for automotive applications;
• Experience with AUTOSAR architecture and configuration tools;
• Familiarity with embedded operating systems;
• Knowledge of debugging tools, environments, and methodologies;
• Understanding of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet);
• Strong communication skills in English (written and spoken);
• Ability to work effectively in multicultural and distributed teams;
• Proactive, committed, and eager to learn.
  

Nice to Have

• Experience with specific microcontrollers or processors used in automotive systems;
• Exposure to real-time operating systems (RTOS);
• Experience with hardware-software integration and driver development;
• Experience working in Agile development.

What We Offer

• Opportunities to grow through involvement in complex international projects;
• A collaborative environment with knowledge-sharing initiatives and technical communities;
• Meal vouchers as part of your monthly benefits;
• Private medical insurance, supporting your health and wellbeing;
• 25 days of annual paid leave under a full-time employment contract;
• Flexible working arrangements, aligned with project requirements and client environments;
• Access to technical training programs and professional development resources.
