Key Responsibilities :

Software Development :

• Design and develop embedded software for 2-wheeler Body Control Modules (BCM) and Vehicle Control Units (VCU).
• Implement control logic for lighting systems, HMI, and vehicle power management.
• Develop algorithms for communication protocols, including CAN, LIN, UART, and SPI.
• Write and optimize software for features like keyless entry, immobilizer systems, and battery monitoring.

System Integration and Testing :

• Collaborate with hardware teams to ensure seamless software-hardware integration.
• Perform functional testing of BCM and VCU features, including debugging and troubleshooting.
• Validate software performance through Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) simulations and on-vehicle testing.

Diagnostics and Communication :

• Develop software for on-board diagnostics (OBD) and fault detection.
• Implement diagnostic communication protocols (UDS, ISO 14229).
• Ensure robust communication between various ECUs in the vehicle.

Optimization and Calibration :

• Optimize software for performance, memory usage, and power efficiency.
• Support calibration activities to tune vehicle control systems to meet design specifications.

Ideal Candidate :

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in automotive or 2-wheeler applications.
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.
• Experience with microcontroller programming (e.g., ARM Cortex-M series).
• Familiarity with real-time operating systems (RTOS) and bare-metal programming.
• Strong understanding of communication protocols like CAN, LIN, UART, and SPI.
• Knowledge of vehicle powertrain systems, lighting control, and battery management.
• Hands-on experience with tools like MATLAB/Simulink, Vector CANoe, and other debugging tools.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies.
• Knowledge of 2-wheeler systems and components, including electric vehicles (EVs).
• Exposure to cybersecurity in automotive systems (e.g., secure boot, communication encryption).
