Automotive Embedded Technical Lead

Our client, an engineering services company, is looking for an Automotive Embedded Technical Lead to work in Japan with Japanese customers and global engineering teams.

You will lead the architecture, design, development, integration, debugging and delivery of production-grade embedded software for vehicle control units and domain or zonal controllers. That covers AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive work as well as software outside AUTOSAR: basic software and driver integration, configuration of the runtime environment and software components, bootloaders and diagnostics.

You will deliver code that meets MISRA C/C++, with reviews, static analysis, unit and integration tests and full traceability from requirement to test. You will find the cause of hardware and software, timing and performance problems on the bench and in the vehicle. You will also estimate work, manage risk, mentor engineers, and present proposals, status and recovery plans to customers in Japanese and English.

We are looking for 5 to 12 years of automotive embedded software experience with hands-on technical leadership: advanced embedded C/C++, AUTOSAR Classic, a real-time operating system or embedded Linux, and the vehicle networks and diagnostics protocols (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet, UDS). Exposure to Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262 functional safety and vehicle cybersecurity is preferred. A degree in electrical, electronics or computer engineering is required.
