About the Role
As a Senior Software Engineer at Avride, you will lead the development and optimization of embedded firmware for automotive-grade microcontrollers powering our autonomous vehicles. You’ll design low-level software, develop hardware drivers, optimize real-time performance, and collaborate closely with hardware teams to deliver reliable, efficient, and safe embedded systems critical to autonomous driving.
What You'll Do
- drivers for peripherals devices, developing and optimizing data processing and hardware interaction algorithms.
- Designing the overall architecture of the system, including software and hardware components and their interactions.
- Analyzing and optimizing code and algorithms to minimize memory and power consumption. This activity includes code profiling,benchmarking and code refactoring.
- Collaborating with other developers, engineers, and specialists to achieve project goals. Including code and schemas review, planning, time estimation.
- Developing tests for the verification of embedded software. Conducting integration tests to verify software and hardware interactions. Debugging and resolving issues identified during testing.
- Collaborating with hardware engineers to ensure hardware compatibility with software and project goals.
- Preparing technical documentation, including specifications, user guides and code documentation.
- Exploring new methods and technologies to improve embedded systems. Participating in research and development projects.
- Providing technical support for embedded systems throughout their lifecycle.
- Responding to requests and resolving issues encountered by end users.
What You'll Need
- Professional education: Master's degree in Computer Science.
- Strong proficiency in C++ and assembly language programming. Excellent knowledge of modern standards. At least 7 years of experience is expected.
- Understanding of hardware design principles and the ability to read and interpret schematics.
- Experience with low-level hardware programming and interfacing, including knowledge of CAN, Ethernet, LIN, SPI, UART protocols.
- Experience with embedded systems development and real-time operating systems (especially FreeRTOS, zephyr, nuttx). Proficient in using profiling and debugging tools to analyze code performance and resource usage.
- Knowledge of memory management techniques and power optimization strategies.
- At least 7 years at self-driving projects. Familiarity with their architecture and principles: knowledge of the specifics of development and architecture.
- Strong knowledge of hardware design features in self-driving projects. Specifics of the automotive microcontrollers and peripheral devices used.
- Strong knowledge and experience of industrial and automotive protocols, such as UDS, DoIP, ISO-TP, and others.
- Knowledge of NXP automotive processor architectures, and their peripherals.
