Description: Employer: R.H. Sheppard Co., Inc.

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer

Job Location: 101 Philadelphia Street, Hanover, PA 17331

Job Duties: Develop, integrate, validate, and release embedded software for active steering systems used in commercial vehicle applications. Duties include:

• Design and develop embedded software components for active steering systems using embedded C and industry-standard development environments.
• Configure and implement AUTOSAR-based software architecture, interfaces, and communication stacks.
• Perform model-based software development activities, including modeling, simulation, and auto-code generation using MATLAB/Simulink.
• Execute software builds, compilation, and integration of software modules into production systems.
• Conduct unit, integration, and system-level verification activities to support software quality and functionality.
• Participate in Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, including data analysis, debugging, and issue resolution.
• Support simulation, bench, and vehicle-level testing to validate feature performance and system functionality.
• Develop, analyze, and troubleshoot vehicle communication networks and diagnostics, including CAN and SAE J1939 protocols.
• Utilize Vector tools or equivalent network analysis and debugging tools for software development and validation.
• Support development, refinement, and traceability of system and software requirements for steering features.
• Assist in implementation and tuning of driver-assistance functions, including lane keep assist, lane centering, and hands-off detection features.
• Follow structured software development processes (ASPICE, V-Model) to ensure requirements traceability, configuration management, and process compliance.
• Support functional safety activities in accordance with ISO 26262 within the embedded software lifecycle.
• Collaborate with systems engineering, hardware, validation, manufacturing, and customer application teams during product development and launch activities.
• Participate in customer tuning and vehicle validation activities, including limited on-track development support.
