FULL DESCRIPTION

Summary

Develop and maintain embedded software for prototype and production systems, support customer integration, and work within a team in an agile manner.

Key Responsibilities/Duties

  • Develop and maintain embedded SW for prototype and production systems conforming to OEM and international standards.
  • Develop and maintain library blocks enabling us to re-use our IP across multiple products.
  • Support customer integration - on-site support in parametrisation and calibration as well as troubleshooting and correction of existing code.
  • Verification, validation and testing of developed software solutions for assigned projects.
  • Work within a team in an agile manner allowing for flexibility and self-management to complete tasks.
  • Ensure processes are correctly followed whilst also working with the team to utilise and improve any area in the development or testing process which can be improved.

Core Requirements/Qualifications/Skills

  • Formal Software development within Aerospace, Automotive, Medical or similar embedded software development environment.
  • Fluent in C for safety critical embedded applications and MISRA C guidelines.
  • Experience with fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic.
  • Experience with 32bit CPU / FPU, Interrupts, Peripherals, Realtime programming.
  • An understanding of compilers, linkers, makefiles, SW build, CI SW build automation systems.
  • Experience working with Vector Tools such as VFlash, CANalyzer and CanoE.
  • Experience with device drivers, BSW, RTE and ASW layer code development in AUTOSAR systems – particularly with Vector MICROSAR and the DaVinci toolchain.
