Embedded Software Architect

Description

This role is part of the company's software-defined vehicle (SDV) program, focused on electrification software for its vehicles.

You will work with a team of skilled engineers on embedded systems, helping align development across the VMEC toward electrification and SDV goals.

Responsibilities

• Turn customer inputs and system requirements into a sturdy software architecture model covering every software component tied to electrification.
• Lead the design and development of electrification services based on the SDV solution definition.
• Run and take part in software design and code reviews, keeping all work consistent with the architecture, standards and SAFe.
• Write software requirements and functional specifications covering requirements analysis, architecture, data structures and low-level requirements, in line with the company's SDV vision.
• Build, deploy and maintain software modules, and help design an industry-leading abstracted mechatronic platform for the company's new electronic architectures.
• Write, unit test, debug and modify complex embedded software to meet project goals and dates, following SAFe.
• Partner with skilled engineers to resolve cross-functional design problems and deliver high-quality products to end users, promoting ongoing learning and improvement in SAFe style.
• Make sure software development meets ISO26262 and Automotive SPICE process requirements, and push the SDV agenda inside the organization.
• Share technical and non-technical findings to head off problems and keep teams and departments aligned.
• Help migrate to the new vehicle platform by establishing the supervisory controls architecture, leading key projects, maintaining governance and meeting industry standards.
• Build quality in through a test-first approach using BDD and TDD to manage software complexity.
• Improve tools, processes and software efficiency, and work with software system architects to raise code quality and reduce technical debt.
• Refine designs continually toward shared best practices and efficient algorithms.
• Reduce technical debt, including documentation gaps and cyclomatic complexity, and help resolve defects and PRTS issues.
