Your Role
As a Principal Software Engineer, you will be the structural engineer behind our high-voltage battery system software. You will bridge the gap between system requirements and the implementation in code, defining the static and dynamic architecture to ensure our systems are safe, secure and scalable. You will play a central role in advancing our software development by defining the technical vision, our processes and coding guidelines. You will not only design the blueprint but also guide the engineering team through implementation and while always keeping the bigger picture in mind.
Your Future Tasks at a Glance
Define static architectures (modularization, layering, interfaces) and dynamic architectures (scheduling, concurrency, inter-core communication)
Define and monitor system resources, such as CPU load budgets, and stack usage.
Drive and enforce coding guidelines and workflows to standardize code quality across the team.
Develop architectural strategies for functional safety (ISO26262), including error handling concepts and safe-state management, as well as cybersecurity (ISO21434).
Hands-on Implementation: Develop critical components and maintain ownership.
Ensure full traceability from requirements to architecture and code.
Lead architectural code reviews to ensure implementation aligns with the design and quality standards.
What you bring with you
Successfully completed a university degree in an engineering field (software, robotics, electronics, mechanical), math, or applied physics.
7+ years of hands-on experience as a software engineer and 2+ years of experience as architect or lead engineer.
Demonstrated expertise in designing complex embedded software architectures, utilizing modern design patterns and UML modeling (static and dynamic views).
Experience establishing processes, coding standards, and review workflows in a regulated environment.
Strong background in C++ and C, with deep knowledge of microcontrollers and relevant tools (AURIX Tricore, TI Hercules, NXP S32). Other languages (Python, Rust, Groovy) are a plus.
