## Description

In this position as an RTOS Embedded Software Engineer at Ford Motor Company, you will be a key contributor to the development of next-generation automotive software systems, working closely with cross-functional teams to design, implement, and validate robust solutions that meet industry standards.

## Responsibilities

- Design and implement software running on a distributed embedded system with multiple microcontrollers with a focus on creating re-usable software designs/components.

- Design and implement real-time Ethernet communication.

- Develop custom serial communication protocol over UART, SPI, IPC and I2C interfaces to support reliable data exchange between the device and external components.

- Specify requirements, design, implement, and test both bare metal and RTOS low-level software for creating a scalable platform.

- Work with/resolve ambiguity in requirements/specifications/designs. Maintain clear and concise documentation of design and firmware architecture.

- Create elegant, efficient real-time software components and interfaces.

- Develop software component testing methodologies and implementations to ensure maturity/stability/release readiness, code coverage and adherence to MISRA guidelines.

- Create traceability matrix between all SW work products as per ASPICE and ISO26262 guidelines based on safety rating of the component.

- Work with hardware and debuggers at a bench and HIL level to verify software operation.

- Profile power/CPU/bus usage and identify opportunities for optimization on the component/system level.

- Collaborate with V&V to develop comprehensive test plans and perform thorough testing to validate firmware functionality, stability, and performance under various conditions, including low power modes.

- Interface with external vendors, including review of firmware specifications, providing design guidance, and integrating code releases.
