Assignments may include string-level or system-level battery management controllers and may shift across the product architecture over the life of the program. The ideal candidate has brought up embedded hardware from first power-on, written drivers from datasheets, integrated and hardened communication stacks, and owned a production software update path. ## Responsibilities - Own board bring-up and hardware abstraction: clocks, memory, timers, interrupts, watchdog, and system basis chip integration. - Configure and maintain the real-time operating system and scheduling architecture; own task partitioning, timing budgets, and runtime monitoring. - Develop and integrate device drivers for cell monitoring front-end devices, voltage and current measurement, isolation monitoring interfaces, analog and digital I/O, high-side drivers, discrete inputs and outputs, and non-volatile storage. - Own communication stacks and services, including automotive serial networks and diagnostic services. - Own the bootloader and the software flashing, update, and rollback mechanism, including update across multiple controllers. - Implement secure boot, secure flashing, secure debug access, signed image verification, and hardware security module key handling, in partnership with cybersecurity engineering. - Own persistent data logging and event storage, including storage media management, retention, and retrieval. - Own the embedded build environment, static analysis, unit test framework, and continuous integration pipeline. - Integrate application, controls, and algorithm software onto the platform; support application engineers with debug, tracing, and runtime measurement. - Define and document the base-software-to-application interface so application development can proceed independently of the platform. - Support supplier software assessment and technical transfer. - Debug at the hardware level with oscilloscopes, logic and protocol analyzers, and on-chip debuggers. ## Qualifications - Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. - 5+ years developing embedded software in C for resource-constrained real-time systems. - Strong microcontroller architecture fundamentals: memory maps, interrupts, DMA, timing, and determinism. - Production experience with a real-time operating system or equivalent scheduling framework. - Driver development from datasheets and hands-on hardware debug experience. - Communication protocol implementation experience including CAN or CAN FD. - Bootloader, flashing, or software update implementation experience. - Version control, code review, and continuous integration discipline. - Strong written and verbal communication skills. - Ability and willingness to travel occasionally ## Benefits - Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage - Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more - Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more - Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases - Tuition assistance - Established and active employee resource groups - Paid time off for individual and team community service - A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day - Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time. ## Skills ### Required - Embedded C for real-time systems - Real-time operating system configuration and scheduling - Hardware abstraction and driver development - Board bring-up and hardware debug - Communication stacks and diagnostic services - Bootloader, flashing, update, and rollback - Secure boot, secure flashing, and key handling - Non-volatile storage and data logging - Build environment, static analysis, and continuous integration - Base software to application interface definition - Timing analysis and runtime measurement ### Nice to have - Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science - Battery management, high-voltage, or safety-relevant control unit software experience - Layered automotive base software architecture experience - Experience interfacing to cell monitoring front-end devices over isolated serial or CAN-based interfaces - Secure boot, secure flashing, hardware security module, or cryptographic library integration - Software development under functional safety and cybersecurity process requirements - Familiarity with industrial communication protocol stacks in addition to automotive networks - MISRA C compliance and static analysis toolchains - Continuous integration and hardware-in-the-loop automation for embedded targets --- Source: [Apply at efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com](https://efds.fa.em5.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/CandidateExperience/en/sites/CX_1/job/72570?utm_source=yubhub.co&utm_medium=jobs_feed&utm_campaign=apply)
