Embedded Software Engineer - Automotive Radar

Imagine being part of a team that’s redefining the future of mobility-where your ideas don’t just sit in a lab but power next-generation technology. At indie, we are developing cutting-edge semiconductors, photonics, and radar sensors and systems for automotive, industrial, and adjacent markets. Our innovations are at the heart of advanced intelligent sensing and user experience applications, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

If you're passionate about groundbreaking technology and want to make a real impact alongside a fast-paced team that thrives on creativity and collaboration, we’d love to have you on board!

In this role you will contribute to embedded software for automotive radar products: architecture, implementation, integration, and verification of low-level software close to hardware. Work spans AUTOSAR MCAL and related embedded stacks, device drivers and abstraction layers, and alignment with functional safety and automotive quality processes. You will use hardware documentation (schematics, datasheets, reference manuals) and lab tools to design, bring up, and debug software on microcontrollers and radar-centric platforms. Depending on assignment, you may also contribute to radar-centric software blocks in coordination with system and hardware teams.

Key responsibilities

• Analyze stakeholder requirements, system requirements, and architecture; derive and align software requirements with relevant stakeholders.
• Participate in requirements, design, architecture, and code reviews.
• Design, implement, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers, sensors, and actuators.
• Design, implement, and maintain low-level device drivers, board support packages (BSP), and hardware abstraction layers.
• Develop, maintain, and verify AUTOSAR MCAL drivers; contribute to AUTOSAR CDD and software components where applicable.
• Configure and integrate AUTOSAR BSW; support integration verification.
• Apply the automotive software strategy for design, coding, and verification; deliver productiongrade code.
• Ensure compliance with ISO 26262-6:2018 for up to ASIL-B and support functional safety analysis activities.
• Perform unit verification and static analysis; ensure the software code is MISRA-C:2023 compliant.
• Contribute to software architecture definition and system bring-up with hardware.
• Use appropriate tools for software development, verification, and analysis as needed.
• Debug and analyze behavior using debuggers, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Use schematics, datasheets, and reference manuals to design and verify device drivers and low-level behavior.
• Develop example applications or integration-oriented software for verification and demonstrations.
• Travel may be required, including international.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or a comparable field.
• 3+ years of experience in automotive embedded software development.
• At least 2 years of experience in device driver development (low-level hardware-facing software).
• At least 1 year of experience on an AUTOSAR project (development or integration context).
• Previous exposure to ISO 26262 functional safety and a solid understanding of the automotive software lifecycle and development practices (for example V-model, release and quality gates).
• Strong programming skills in C for embedded systems.
• Demonstrated ability to develop, maintain, and verify AUTOSAR MCAL drivers.
• Solid understanding of microcontrollers, real-time constraints, and common communication interfaces (for example CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet).
• Hands-on experience with VectorCAST, Lauterbach, CANoe, logic analyzer, and oscilloscope (or direct equivalents used in series projects).
• Ability to read and apply schematics, datasheets, and reference manuals when implementing and debugging drivers.
• Fluent English (written and spoken) for technical work across sites.

Preferred qualifications

• Hands-on experience with AUTOSAR BSW and MCAL configuration, development, and integration.
• Knowledge of ISO 26262-6:2018 and Automotive SPICE 4.0.
• Experience with Jama (or similar) for requirements management and test management.
• GitLab CI/CD, CMake, and practical use of Git, issue trackers, and collaboration tools (for example JIRA, Confluence).
• Python and CAPL for automation, scripting, or test support.
• Strong use of static analysis tools and MISRA-C practices.
• Understanding of secure boot and cybersecurity concepts in automotive software.
• Familiarity with automotive Ethernet topics such as gPTP, TSN, and MACsec. • Proven work on MCAL, CDD, BSW, and low-level drivers (for example Quad SPI, I2C, CAN, Ethernet).
• Basic exposure to radar or LiDAR systems
