• Develop and execute testing and diagnostics for software products and systems, primarily for EV applications.
• Troubleshoot software-related issues in components, communication, and vehicle systems.
• Resolve complex technical challenges in component development, system integration, and deployment.
• Improve software engineering processes through standardized procedures, documentation and related tools.
• Proactively mitigate project delays by providing short-term solutions for design/implementation issues.
• Support system configuration, including installation, training, and setup for end-users or internal stakeholders.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (e.g., Sales, Manufacturing, Service) to design, implement, and troubleshoot new technologies/features.
• Participate in business travel (approximately 30%) for engineering purposes, including international trips as needed.
• Mentor and support junior developers while working closely with cross‑functional teams and external partners.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in software engineering or a related field (required); equivalent education or experience may be considered.
• 5+ years of experience in Software Engineering.

• 3+ years of hands‑on experience with data logging & analysis tools (e.g., CANalyzer).
• Proven track record in troubleshooting and optimizing complex vehicle software systems.
• Hands‑on experience in vehicle control software, preferably EV controls (e.g., VCU, BMS).
• Familiarity with cross‑functional project management tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence).
• Practical knowledge in software engineering & automotive engineering.
• Skills in translating vehicle‑level requirements into software requirements.
• Proficient in creating software design documents (e.g., High‑Level Design, SRS, UML).
• Profound knowledge of vehicle software design and development.
• Experience in implementing high‑quality, reliable, and standards‑compliant software code (e.g., MISRA, MAAB).
• Proficiency with software development tools (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, GitHub).
• Strong Model‑Based Development (MBD) skills for software implementation.
• Expertise in root cause analysis for vehicle system failures, particularly in EV systems.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills for embedded software.
• Proficiency in analyzing and interpreting software performance metrics (e.g., execution time, CPU load).
• Strict adherence to software safety standards and regulations (e.g., ISO262
