Software Applications Engineer

Job Title

Software Applications Engineer

Role Summary

Develop, integrate, and validate embedded software for Battery Management Solutions (BMS) with a focus on Complex Device Drivers (CDDs) and AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW) integration.

Work with customers and cross-functional teams to define requirements, debug issues, ensure functional-safety compliance, and deliver production-ready software and documentation.

Experience Level

Mid-level — typically requires 5+ years of relevant software engineering experience in embedded systems and automotive software.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities for this role include:

• Lead design, integration, and validation of Complex Device Drivers (CDDs) into customer AUTOSAR BSW environments.
• Collaborate directly with customers to capture and manage software requirements for vehicle-level BMS features.
• Perform technical issue analysis, root-cause debugging, and performance optimization of embedded software.
• Verify CDDs and system-level behavior to support scalable architectures and customer use cases.
• Ensure compliance with automotive process and safety standards (ASPICE, ISO 26262) to meet customer ASIL objectives.
• Produce and maintain software collateral: requirements, design specifications, test plans/reports, and integration guides.

Requirements

Must-have and preferred skills and experience.

• Must-have: Minimum ~5 years experience in embedded software development, including work with MCUs/MPUs (ARM), computer architecture concepts (cache, DMA, interconnect), operating systems, and common peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
• Must-have: Practical experience with automotive software stacks, including AUTOSAR BSW, MCALs, RTE and integrating device drivers into customer systems.
• Must-have: Proven ability to debug complex embedded systems and lead technical issue resolution.
• Nice-to-have: Experience with Linux, FreeRTOS, Code Composer Studio (CCS), and programming in C, C++ and Python.
• Nice-to-have: Familiarity with functional safety practices (ISO 26262), ASPICE, and achieving ASIL targets.
• Nice-to-have: Strong communication skills and experience working directly with customers and cross-functional teams.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Computer Science, or a related field is required. A Master’s degree in ECE or Computer Science is preferred. (Degree fields explicitly listed in the posting.)
