What You’ll Do

• Develop and automate test and verification/validation involving building test suite from scratch to continuous regression using Matlab/Python/C and C++
• Design, development, and analysis of system and software architectures for various sensing systems
• Writing, testing, and debugging embedded FW developed using C/C++ running on target devices
• Evaluate various existing and new sensor technologies for next generation sensor systems by bringing up prototype software and testing in lab
• Hands-on testing work such as testing of sensor systems in laboratory and in-car drives
• Writing software requirements, test cases, reviewing requirements and code, etc.
• Mentoring other team members and interns
• Collaborate with a broad range of cross-functional teams including mechanical, software, program management, and senior leadership

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer or Electrical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ coding skills for embedded system development
• Minimum 5+ years of experience in Python/Matlab for scripting and testing of embedded systems implementing DSP and ML algorithms, and data analysis
• Experience with using real time embedded OS such as FreeRTOS, as well as Linux
• Working knowledge of device drivers for microcontroller peripherals (SPI, I2C, UART, DMA, IRQ, USB, timers, ADCs, DACs, Flash, etc.)
• Experience with automotive CAN and CAN-FD interface
• Experience working with Docker, GIT, toolchains (GNU, IAR, etc.), bootloaders, linkers scripts
• Working knowledge of board bring-up, profiling, JTAG/SWD debugging, Dedi-prog, etc.
• Knowledge of basic DSP building blocks (FIR, IIR, FFT, etc.) preferred
• Ability to troubleshoot hardware using logic analyzers, oscilloscopes and spectrum analyzers
