• Design and develop embedded software modules for BCM ECUs supporting features such as:
• Central locking
• Lighting systems
• Wipers
• Power windows
• Immobilization
• Power management and body functions
• Develop and integrate software drivers for CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART, PWM, and GPIO peripherals.
• Develop and integrate software for gateway and body network communication, including signal management, ECU communication, and sleep/wake-up functionality.
• Perform vehicle software integration and testing across multiple ECUs and software modules.
• Develop and validate On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) functionality, including UDS-based diagnostics and DTC management.
• Troubleshoot and resolve bench-level and vehicle-level software issues.
• Perform CAN/LIN data capture and analysis using CANoe/CANalyzer.
• Conduct unit testing and integration testing and support software verification activities.
• Prepare and maintain technical documentation, including software specifications, API documentation, test reports, and design documents.
• Follow established SDLC processes and automotive software development practices.

Required Technical Skills

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in Embedded Systems / Automotive Embedded Software.
• Strong programming skills in Embedded C/C++; Python knowledge is an added advantage.
• Experience with automotive microcontrollers, preferably NXP, STMicroelectronics, or Infineon.

• Hands-on experience with CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, UART, PWM, and GPIO.
• Knowledge of RTOS and AUTOSAR architecture.
• Experience in debugging embedded software at bench and vehicle level.
• Hands-on experience with CANoe/CANalyzer and CAN/LIN data analysis.
• Knowledge of SDLC, software integration, and testing methodologies.
• Experience with Unit Testing and Integration Testing is preferred.
• Knowledge of UDS diagnostics and DTC development/testing will be an advantage.

Preferred Candidate Profile

• Strong problem-solving and debugging skills.
• Good understanding of automotive communication and body electronics.
• Ability to work closely with hardware, system, testing, and vehicle integration teams.
• Strong technical documentation and communication skills.
• Experience working in an automotive OEM, Tier-1, or embedded product development environment is preferred.
