Experience

• Experience in automotive embedded software development and MCU-based ECU systems.
• Strong hands-on experience in Embedded C, automotive communication protocols, diagnostics, and AUTOSAR Classic BSW.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and configure automotive communication stacks for CAN, CAN FD, LIN, Ethernet, SOME/IP, and transport protocols.
• Develop and integrate UDS diagnostic services, including DoIP, OBD, DTC management, diagnostic sessions, security access, and routine control.
• Configure and integrate AUTOSAR Classic communication and diagnostic modules, including COM, PduR, CanIf, CanTp, Dcm, Dem, and NvM interfaces.
• Interpret customer signal databases, diagnostic specifications, network descriptions, and interface requirements.
• Implement network management, wake-up and sleep handling, communication control, timeout supervision, bus-off recovery, and degraded-mode behavior.
• Perform bench, SIL, HIL, and vehicle-level debugging using bus traces, diagnostic logs, and MCU runtime measurements.
• Maintain bidirectional traceability across requirements, design, implementation, configuration, and verification.
• Collaborate with system, BSW, application, validation, cybersecurity, and customer teams to resolve integration issues and deliver production-ready software.
• Follow coding standards, peer-review practices, defect-resolution processes, and ASPICE engineering guidelines.
• Support reusable configurations, test automation, systematic debugging, and technical knowledge sharing.
