We develop innovative electronic control units for electric vehicles and stationary storage systems for our global customers. Our international team is composed of highly motivated and exceptional engineers. As a small and specialized team we are well-aware of the importance of each individual colleague and support and promote each employee according to their abilities and needs. Our office with adjacent prototype and testing lab is located in the heart of Munich at the Heimeranplatz.\nThis is what we stand for:\n- Technological Leadership: We challenge norms, innovate quickly, and anticipate future needs. We take smart risks and learn from outcomes to stay ahead.\n- Sustainability: We actively drive change for a sustainable future, aware of our impact and inspiring others to build a better world.\n-Team Culture: We believe work should be enjoyable, fostering a spirit of inspiration, celebration, and teamwork across the globe.\n- Entrepreneurial Spirit: We embrace change, think big, and push limits with passion.\nYour Role\nAs a Principal Software Engineer, you will be the structural engineer behind our high-voltage battery system software. You will bridge the gap between system requirements and the implementation in code, defining the static and dynamic architecture to ensure our systems are safe, secure and scalable. You will play a central role in advancing our software development by defining the technical vision, our processes and coding guidelines. You will not only design the blueprint but also guide the engineering team through implementation and while always keeping the bigger picture in mind.\nYour Future Tasks at a Glance\nDefine static architectures (modularization, layering, interfaces) and dynamic architectures (scheduling, concurrency, inter-core communication)\n\nDefine and monitor system resources, such as CPU load budgets, and stack usage.\n\nDrive and enforce coding guidelines and workflows to standardize code quality across the team.\n\nDevelop architectural strategies for functional safety (ISO26262), including error handling concepts and safe-state management, as well as cybersecurity (ISO21434).\n\nHands-on Implementation: Develop critical components and maintain ownership.\n\nEnsure full traceability from requirements to architecture and code.\n\nLead architectural code reviews to ensure implementation aligns with the design and quality standards.\n\nWhat you bring with you\nSuccessfully completed a university degree in an engineering field (software, robotics, electronics, mechanical), math, or applied physics.\n\n7+ years of hands-on experience as a software engineer and 2+ years of experience as architect or lead engineer.\n\nDemonstrated expertise in designing complex embedded software architectures, utilizing modern design patterns and UML modeling (static and dynamic views).\n\nExperience establishing processes, coding standards, and review workflows in a regulated environment.\n\nStrong background in C++ and C, with deep knowledge of microcontrollers and relevant tools (AURIX Tricore, TI Hercules, NXP S32). Other languages (Python, Rust, Groovy) are a plus.\n\nAbility to translate complex physical system requirements into robust computational models and software solutions across the whole software stack.\n\nFamiliarity with aligning safety critical regulated development processes with moderen software development practices.\n\nAbility to communicate technical concepts clearly to both management and developers.\n\nCreative mindset and a strong passion for innovative electronic solutions in the battery industry.\n\nStrong team collaboration skills and excellent communication abilities in English.\n\nOur Offer & Benefits\nThe chance to be part of a highly innovative, agile, and unique team with prestigious customers in the automotive and battery storage sector. You will gain a deeper knowledge around connected & electric vehicle batteries, battery management and electronics development and strive in an exciting work environment\nBenefits (Full-time Employees):\n- Trust-based working hours and hybrid work\n- Adequate and competitive compensation\n- Pension Plan/Bonus\n- Free access to the fitness center right next to us or subsidized EGYM Wellpass\n- Free snacks, coffee, drinks and lunch (freshly cooked by our chef) every day\n- Public transport ticket\n- Bike-Leasing via Business Bike\n- Experience various inspiring and fun team events\n- ME-branded clothing\n- Option to \"work from anywhere\" (6 weeks/year)","description_format":"text","description_chars":4626,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":7,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Hybrid work"],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"Germany","iso":"DE","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Energy Storage","Power Supplies & Power Electronics"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-10T22:24:10Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":16,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.563,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":280,"expected_fill_days":122,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-03T05:54:40Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/munichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/munichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-03T18:01:55Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":25100,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-04T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678420},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678420"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmunichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmunichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmunichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/munichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmunichelectrification-principal-software-engineer-cc-fmd"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":671138}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"munichelectrification.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":671138},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
