Who this fits
This senior engineering role suits someone who can integrate embedded software with vehicle systems and diagnose issues hands-on. It requires travel for on-vehicle testing, up to half the time, and work in varied settings around Class-8 commercial vehicles. The role is based in Fremont and hybrid.
From the employer
This role will be part of the runtime team which is responsible for the entire on-vehicle AD system integration, optimization, and core feature development. In this role, you will collaborate cross-functionally to define and implement sensor & vehicle interface CAN integration, diagnostics in AutoSAR safety domain, etc. You will also be responsible for the new vehicle platform and actuators integration, develop tools and procedures for new vehicle bring-up, and regular travel to our partner's proving ground to do on-vehicle testing and validation.
Responsibilities:
- Integrate CAN DBCs from different vehicle platforms and sensors into AUTOSAR communication stack
- Maintain and fine-tune autonomous safety features implemented within the AUTOSAR stack
- Design and implement AUTOSAR UDS and DEM (Diagnostic Event Manager) stack
- Design and Implement autonomous software diagnostics stack and DTC codes, with event-chain based reporting capability
- Support on-demand troubleshoot of vehicle and system related issues reported by external partners, internal testing / operations team, or diagnostic tools.
- Support new vehicle platform integration and bring-up activities, such as flashing and configuring of sensors and ECUs, resolving vehicle integration issues, data collection, parameter tuning, etc.
- Create and execute vehicle tests and testing plans/campaigns per internal and customer requirements.
- Execute development tests in coordination with test management and developers.
- Travel up to 50% of the time to support on-vehicle testing of embedded systems and autonomous driving stacks.
