Job Description
Limited contract for 12 months

Key Responsibilities
• Reproduce and debug software issues raised during bench, HIL/ViL, vehicle and program-validation activities; perform initial root cause analysis and triage.
• Integrate software components delivered by internal teams and external vendors; run sanity and smoke tests to confirm builds are stable.
• Reflash builds, execute updates and support FOTA investigations; make small, targeted configuration changes to test hypotheses and verify fixes.
• Determine issue ownership with specialist and domain teams and drive agreement on corrective actions and release paths.
• Document root causes, workarounds and next steps; report findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Maintain & adapt validation setups, including minor bench wiring or HW changes needed to 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.
• Embedded software debugging, platform integration, system validation or root cause analysis.
• Strong understanding of automotive E&E; architecture, vehicle subsystem interactions & HPC architecture.
• Hands-on exp with system-level debugging, issue reproduction, root cause analysis and technical triage.




• Practical experience with hypervisor-based platforms and working knowledge of QNX and Linux/ Android; familiarity with bootloaders (U-Boot, ABL) and debugging tools (JTAG, Lauterbach, GDB, trace tools).
• Working knowledge of software flashing, updates and FOTA concepts — project-specific workflows can be learned on the job, but the underlying concepts are required.
• Diagnostics and communication protocols (UDS, DoIP, SOME/IP, OBD-II, CAN, CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet) and log/trace analysis tools (Logcat, DLT, Wireshark).
• Ability to communicate technical findings clearly, coordinate cross-functional investigations and prepare concise technical reports and presentations.
• Hands-on experience with benches, HIL/VHIL environments and/or vehicle testing. Preferred Skills
• Qualcomm 7255/8255 or equivalent HPC-class SoCs (NVIDIA, Intel, Renesas, NXP).
• Prior work in cross-functional issue-resolution teams or vehicle-integration programs.
• Depth in one or more infotainment-adjacent domains (displays, cameras, audio, connectivity, driver monitoring, vehicle networking).
• Issue-tracking, software-release and quality-management processes; production-plant and EOL (End-of-Line) testing exposure.
• Understanding of AUTOSAR BSW / Adaptive AUTOSAR and ASPICE-compliant workflows. Required Skills SoC,HPC,Bootloader,Operating Systems,Hypervisors,Diagnostic protocols Supported Skills Adaptive AUTOSAR,ASPICE
