We are seeking a Lead Brain Platform System Debug & War Room Engineer to support software issue investigation, root cause analysis, validation and triage activities for Brain Core ECUs, including High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Cabin Zone Control Unit (Cabin ZCU) platforms.

The role is part of a Brain War Room that operates within a wider ecosystem of vehicle-domain war rooms. The engineer will investigate issues identified during program validation, reproduce them on available validation systems, analyse and root-cause failures, collaborate with specialist teams, and help establish responsibility for corrective action and solution release.

This is primarily a debugging, troubleshooting and support role rather than a feature-development position. It requires a strong understanding of Base Software (BSW), software architecture, vehicle E&E; architecture, diagnostics, software flashing and update processes.

Platform Environment

- Brain Core ECUs, with focus on HPC and Cabin ZCU platforms

- Qualcomm 7255 and 8255 based HPC platforms

- QNX and Android 14 environments within a hypervisor-based architecture

- AUTOSAR BSW and vehicle platform components

- Communication over CAN, CAN-FD and Automotive Ethernet

- Software integration across Brain Core, Cockpit and ADAS scopes

- Functions potentially affected include infotainment, radio, rear and surround-view cameras, audio, cluster, driver indication, driver monitoring, displays and video cameras

- FOTA functionality supported by both HPC and Cabin ZCU

Key Responsibilities

Issue Investigation & Root Cause Analysis

- Understand and assess software or system issues identified during bench, HIL/VHIL, vehicle, fleet and program-validation activities.

- Reproduce issues using the validation environments available to the war room.

- Perform system-level debugging, initial root cause analysis and technical triage.

- Analyse interactions between Brain Core software, Cockpit software, ADAS software and vehicle networks.

- Collaborate with other domain war rooms and specialist engineering teams to determine issue ownership, corrective actions and release paths.

Platform Debugging & Validation





- Debug software running on Qualcomm-based HPC and Cabin ZCU platforms.

- Analyse issues across QNX, Android and hypervisor-based environments.

- Reflash software, execute software updates and support FOTA-related investigations.

- Verify corrective actions and confirm whether reported issues have been resolved.

- Make small, targeted software or configuration changes to test hypotheses and support technical decisions.

Diagnostics & Analysis

- Use diagnostic and analysis methods involving UDS, DoIP, CAN, CAN-FD and Ethernet.

- Capture and analyse logs and traces using tools such as Logcat, DLT, CAN analysis tools, Ethernet analysis tools

and Wireshark.

- Document findings, evidence, root causes, workarounds and recommended next steps.

Collaboration & Technical Coordination

- Work closely with war room members and leaders, BSW and software developers, testing teams, quality teams,

vehicle integration teams and management.

- Coordinate technical working groups and collaborate with other vehicle-domain war rooms.

- Support and guide technical decisions during issue triage and escalation.

- Explain complex technical issues clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Prepare technical reports, presentations, status updates, charts and glidepath updates.

Validation Environment Support

- Work hands-on with benches, HIL/VHIL environments and vehicles.

- Perform minor wiring changes or bench modifications when required to reproduce or isolate an issue.

Required Skills & Experience

- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Embedded Systems,

Automotive Engineering or a comparable field.

- 5+ years of experience in embedded software debugging, BSW or platform integration, system validation, vehicle





software troubleshooting or root cause analysis.

- Strong understanding of automotive E&E; architecture, vehicle subsystem interactions and HPC software

architectures.

- Hands-on experience with system-level debugging, issue reproduction, root cause analysis and technical triage.

- Experience with BSW, embedded software architecture and software integration.

- Practical experience with hypervisor-based platforms and working knowledge of QNX and Android environments.

- Hands-on experience with software flashing, software updates and FOTA concepts.

- Knowledge of automotive diagnostics and communication technologies, including UDS, DoIP, CAN, CAN-FD and

Ethernet.

- Experience using logs, traces and common analysis tools such as Logcat, DLT, CAN analysis tools and

Wireshark.

- Hands-on experience with benches, HIL/VHIL environments and/or vehicle testing.

- Ability to communicate technical findings clearly, coordinate cross-functional investigations and prepare

concise technical reports and presentations.

- Ability to work mainly on-site in Turin and support exceptional, limited travel when required.

Preferred Skills

- Experience with Qualcomm 7255 and/or 8255 automotive SoCs.

- Knowledge of AUTOSAR BSW and/or Adaptive AUTOSAR.

- Experience supporting automotive war rooms, vehicle-integration programs or high-priority software issue

resolution.

- Exposure to one or more relevant domains such as infotainment, displays, cameras, audio, cluster, connectivity,

driver monitoring or vehicle networking.

- Familiarity with issue-tracking, software-release and quality-management processes.

- Ability to perform basic bench wiring changes or hardware setup adaptations.

Working Model & Location

- Primary work location: Turin, Italy.

- The activity is expected to take place mainly on-site due to hands-on work with benches, vehicles and validation

systems.

- Travel is expected only in exceptional and limited situations, for example to support debugging on a vehicle at a

production site.
