Embedded Software Engineer - Radar Systems (f/m/div.)

Description

The company develops and produces automotive electronics as part of a group of more than 400,000 employees across 60 countries. Its Car Multimedia unit employs about 3,600 people and treats the car as a third living space.

You will help move the software for next-generation radar systems from development into production.

The role sits where embedded software, hardware, security, validation and manufacturing meet. Software from several technical teams has to come together as a mature, validated, production-ready result.

You will track technical dependencies, make software maturity visible, and make sure the right content and configurations are in place before anything goes into production.

This is mainly a coordination role. Connecting people, untangling dependencies and moving open topics forward matter as much as your embedded software knowledge.

You will grow your understanding of radar system-level dependencies over time and take on broader coordination topics as you progress.

Responsibilities

• Organise the preparation and handover of production-ready embedded software, making sure required contributions and production-relevant configurations are complete and consistent.
• Manage dependencies and open items across embedded software, hardware, security, validation, project management and manufacturing.
• Report on software maturity, validation status, dependencies, delivery risks and open issues, and push for clarification or escalation when needed.
• Serve as the central contact for software-related production readiness and manufacturing questions, routing each issue to the right technical owner.
• Run validation and readiness checks to catch incomplete, incorrect or incompatible software before it reaches manufacturing.
• Lead technical discussions and decisions across several teams, with clear ownership and steady follow-up on actions.
• Reduce recurring problems in the software-to-production process and help make releases more robust.
• Look for ways to apply software-defined and agentic engineering to improve engineering and delivery work.

Requirements

• You hold a degree in computer science, software engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering or a closely related technical field.
• You have worked in embedded software development, software integration, technical coordination, validation, release management or systems engineering.
• You have coordinated software dependencies or deliverables across different technical teams.
• You have handled software integration and release processes in complex embedded environments.
• You understand embedded systems, software lifecycles, integration and release processes.
• You know software configuration management and what makes a production software configuration.
• You understand the validation and readiness work needed before software is released or deployed.
• You can reason about how software, hardware, security and manufacturing depend on each other within complex embedded systems.
• You have very good written and spoken English for working with international, cross-functional engineering teams.
• You work through complex dependencies in a structured, analytical and solution-focused way.
• You make priorities, risks, dependencies and decisions visible to others.
• You spot potential problems early and bring the right stakeholders in before they affect production.
• You coordinate several technical topics and teams without formal authority over them.
• You balance technical depth with a firm focus on delivery, quality and production readiness.
• You communicate well and enjoy connecting people across technical disciplines.
• You take ownership of topics and follow them through to resolution.
• You build alignment among stakeholders with different priorities, with confidence and a collaborative approach.
• You are curious about moving from embedded software into radar and system-level engineering.
• You like improving processes and trying new approaches that make engineering work more efficient.
• Exposure to manufacturing, industrialisation or production deployment is valuable.
• Experience in automotive electronics or radar systems is an advantage.
• Knowledge of production environments and their particular software requirements and constraints is valuable.
• Understanding of production-related security configurations and release content management is an advantage.
• Interest in software-defined and agentic engineering and its use in engineering processes is valued.
