Experience Level: Expert / Senior-Level

Industry: Automotive Embedded Systems

Client: Mareli

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced and self-driven Expert Software Engineer to join our automotive embedded software team, specializing in Instrument Panel / Cluster (IPC) development. The ideal candidate will lead end-to-end development—from requirements analysis to design, implementation, testing, and integration.

This role requires deep expertise in safety-critical embedded software and frequent collaboration with system engineers, hardware teams, and validation teams to deliver high-quality, production-ready embedded software for next-generation vehicle platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Independently analyze, interpret, and translate software requirements into robust software designs.
• Design and implement embedded software for IPC features, including:
• Graphical displays
• Tell-tales and indicators
• Vehicle communication (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
• Diagnostics (UDS, OBD)
• Bootloader & flashing mechanisms
• System startup, shutdown, and power management
• Contribute to software architecture design, component abstraction, and middleware development.
• Collaborate with cross-domain software areas (HMI, bootloader, communication stacks, application logic).
• Ensure compliance with automotive standards such as ASPICE and MISRA.
• Perform peer code reviews, unit testing, and support system-level integration.
• Work closely with Systems Engineering and Validation teams to clarify requirements and resolve complex issues.
• Participate in configuration management and change control using industry-standard tools (Git, JIRA, DOORS, etc.).

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10 years of experience in embedded C/C development for automotive systems.
• Strong knowledge of CAN, LIN, UDS, and other automotive communication protocols.
• Proven expertise in using embedded real-time systems and RTOS environments.
• Ability to interpret hardware schematics and debug MCU peripheral-related issues.
• Familiarity with IPC functions such as tell-tales, warnings, and display management.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently across the full software lifecycle.
• Hands-on experience with software development tools (debuggers, compilers, static analyzers).
• Exposure to ASPICE, MISRA, and ISO 26262 (ASIL-B or above).

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Vector tools (CANoe, DaVinci, EB tresos, etc.).
• Knowledge of AUTOSAR, bootloaders, and system diagnostics.
• Exposure to HMI frameworks and display technologies.
• Experience with RTOS systems (Linux, QNX, VxWorks, or proprietary RTOS).
• Automotive OEM or Tier-1 experience in cluster, infotainment, or body electronics.
