Use scripting (e.g., Python) and automation to support testing, validation, and acceptance testing of BSP and OS components.
Follow software development best practices and coding standards, including MISRA-related concepts where applicable.
Participate in critical investigations across the platform to ensure system robustness and high-quality customer experiences.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, tools, and debugging methodologies within the team.

Essential Skills

Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a similar scientific field.
Minimum 3+ years of embedded software development experience.

Experience working in a production software environment with real-world deployments.
Familiarity with Agile development processes and tools for tracking work (e.g., Jira or similar).
Strong analytical skills, especially in root-causing and troubleshooting system-level issues at OS and BSP layers.
Excellent written and oral communication skills to collaborate effectively with distributed teams.
Demonstrated passion for solving complex technical problems, often with limited initial information.
