Senior Embedded Software Engineer - Firmware

Description

The company builds the digital infrastructure that gives intelligence to moving machines, and it is valued at $15 billion. It was founded in 2017 and is based in Silicon Valley.

It serves automotive, defense, trucking, construction, mining and agriculture customers across three areas: tools and infrastructure, operating systems, and autonomy. Eighteen of the top 20 global automakers and the United States military and its allies use its solutions.

Offices are in Sunnyvale, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Ft. Walton Beach, Ann Arbor, London, Stuttgart, Munich, Stockholm, Bangalore, Seoul and Tokyo.

Responsibilities

• Build firmware in C/C++ for embedded systems that must run in real time, behave deterministically and meet safety-critical requirements.
• Connect third-party components across several controllers and subsystems inside a safety-critical software architecture, so hardware interfaces communicate reliably.
• Develop real-time operating system (RTOS) applications for vehicle platforms.
• Help bring up hardware and debug boards and SoCs at the low level.
• Work with other teams to bring up firmware on new devices and keep every subsystem running correctly.
• Build safety-critical features such as fault detection, automated responses, watchdogs, coordination between controllers and system validation and debugging.
• Lead technical decisions for platform safety, guiding the design, implementation and validation of safety-critical firmware across subsystems.

Requirements

• A Master's degree or a foreign equivalent in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• At least 12 months working as a firmware engineer at an autonomous vehicle company.
• At least 12 months of hands-on experience with the following:
• Programming and scripting: C/C++, Python, shell scripting.
• Operating systems and build tools: Linux, SafeRTOS, Bazel, Git.
• Embedded development: BSP and HAL development, ARM architectures.
• Debugging and hardware tools: Lauterbach, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers.
• Functional safety: ISO 26262 processes.

Conditions

The company expects full-time employees to work from the office five days a week, though occasional remote work and flexible schedules are allowed, such as starting from home for morning meetings or leaving early for family needs.

The in-office expectation does not apply to contractor positions.
