Embedded Systems Engineer

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

• Hands-on experience in embedded hardware architecture, schematic design, PCB layout, prototype bring-up, and electrical validation.

• Experience developing embedded software, firmware, drivers, APIs, and configuration/control interfaces for hardware-integrated systems.

• Knowledge of Linux-based development and target environments, including USB and I2S integration and multichannel audio capture/playback.

• Experience designing or integrating automotive BCM interfaces, external I/O peripherals, harnesses, and commercial off-the-shelf components.

• Strong knowledge of LIN communication, multichannel LIN simulation or emulation, USB-connected interfaces, diagnostics, and communication validation.

• Experience developing voltage and current measurement solutions, including firmware, host-side software, acquisition, reporting, calibration, and hardware integration.

• Experience integrating hardware and software with SmartBench, subsystem, HiL, IVI subsystem, or comparable automotive test environments.

• Ability to define requirements, interfaces, test-environment configurations, design artifacts, test plans, acceptance evidence, and handover documentation.

• Experience with design/code reviews, unit tests, hardware-validation tests, defect triage, corrective actions, and end-to-end requirements traceability.

• Strong troubleshooting, cross-functional collaboration, documentation, risk management, and agile delivery skills.

Roles & Responsibilities

Design, build, integrate, test, and document reusable embedded hardware and software assets for

automotive automation-enabled testing.

• Develop SmartBench hardware architecture, schematics, and PCB layout based on the approved

NetNode hardware design; support prototypes, design reviews, electrical validation, and signoff.

• Design or solution a multichannel audio-board capability, including required analog inputs/outputs,

analog-to-digital conversion, USB/I2S interfaces, and hardware/software integration.

• Integrate the multichannel USB/I2S sound-card solution with the VDP Linux operating-system stack;

configure the Linux audio stack and validate capture and playback.

• Design hardware interfaces and peripheral-connectivity solutions for physical BCM operation in

SmartBench, subsystem, HiL, and IVI subsystem environments.

• Develop software simulation control for BCM input/output functionality, including control,

configuration, operating interfaces, behavior validation, and documented limitations.

• Develop hardware, harnesses, peripheral configurations, and software support for NFCR, BUN, and

BUNA modules used in vehicle-access test environments.

• Design and integrate multichannel LIN simulation and emulation hardware over USB; develop the

associated software interfaces, control, configuration, diagnostics, and communication validation.

• Develop the voltage and current measurement hardware, embedded firmware, host or platform

software, data acquisition, reporting, calibration, and integration with applicable TDK software.

• Define and implement hardware/software test-environment requirements for SmartBench, subsystem,

HiL, IVI subsystem, VDP, Linux, Slash, XiL, ECU Test, and other approved environments.

• Perform hardware/software integration, interface validation, audio testing, BCM I/O testing,

LIN testing, module-support testing, measurement validation, and defect correction.

• Create or update requirements artifacts, Feature Implementation Plans, architecture documents,

schematics, PCB layouts, interface-control documents, APIs, configuration guides, bills of materials,

test plans, and test reports.

• Maintain traceability from requirements and Jira work items to designs, source code,

hardware revisions, prototypes, binaries, tests, defects, demonstrations, and acceptance evidence.

• Store source artifacts, design files, configuration items, documentation, and test evidence in

approved repositories; support reviews, demonstrations, audit records, and employee handover.

• Identify and manage hardware availability, interface, calibration, signal-quality, Linux-driver,

integration, access, schedule, and dependency risks through the agreed governance process.

Generic Managerial Skills, If any

• Experience with SmartBench or NetNode hardware design and automotive automation-testing platforms.

• Knowledge of multichannel audio-board design, analog-to-digital conversion, line-level analog inputs/outputs, USB sound cards, and Linux audio stacks.

• Experience with NFCR, BUN, BUNA, vehicle-access modules, physical BCM emulation, or SmartBench peripheral integration.

• Experience with VDP, TDK software, Slash, XiL, ECU Test, or comparable integration frameworks.

• Familiarity with PCB fabrication, bill-of-materials management, interface-control documentation, calibration, and measurement accuracy validation.

• Experience creating Feature Implementation Plans, architecture documentation, schematics,release evidence, repository commits/tags, and audit-ready test records.

• Ability to coordinate paired hardware and software workstreams across onsite and offshore teams.
