  • Define the overall architecture of vehicle systems during investigations, determining the interaction of subsystems, component layout, and information flow.
  • Take ownership of technical projects, contributing to their execution and successful outcomes.
  • Manage and perform system validation and verification activities to ensure all components meet safety, reliability, and performance standards.

  • Break down large engineering projects into manageable tasks that can be completed in parallel, collaborating with the team.
  • Develop a thorough understanding of the application and functionality of the device and how specific firmware modules interact with vehicles.
  • Mentor team developers, collaborate with management to set team direction, guide key stakeholders on execution choices, and provide management with insights and recommendations.
  • Maintain up-to-date documentation for all areas of responsibility.

What You'll Bring To This Role

  • Extensive experience (10+ years) with vehicle systems, including sensors, actuators, control systems, diagnostics, and electrical/communications architecture.
  • In-depth knowledge of vehicle architecture, embedded systems, and CAN bus communication protocols.
  • Expertise in vehicle diagnostics through OBD-II (J1979) and J1939, with a comprehensive understanding of communication standards such as KWP and UDS.
  • Proficient in automotive software architectures for ECU development, particularly AUTOSAR, focusing on the application layer and functional clusters.

  • Strong analytical capabilities with a talent for solving problems and making sound decisions.
  • Excellent communication skills in English, both verbal and written.
  • Ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Previous experience in a technical leadership role.
