Job Description : We at SEDEMAC are on the look-out for a Lead Engineer to join our stellar embedded software team.

Major Responsibilities : “Lead Engineer, Embedded Software” at SEDEMAC is broadly responsible for end-to-end design, development and testing of embedded software stack for a particular product line of SEDEMAC. The role has managerial aspects as well, and a few engineers would typically report to the lead engineer. The candidate is required to:

  • Be responsible for multiple software development projects simultaneously. The projects will typically be part of a product line that the lead engineer is driving. Examples of product lines are “traction controllers”, “fuel injection controllers”, “generator set controllers”, etc.
  • Ensure timely and high-quality software delivery, in co-ordination with system engineers and electronic engineers who are responsible for their respective domains of product development.
  • Act as a single point of contact for internal and external customers. Typically, the internal customers of the software team would be the system engineering team who are product owners. The candidate will occasionally also be required to represent SEDEMAC to external customers, who are usually OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
  • De-risk crucial showstoppers in the project, involving development of complex logics, and resolving complex defects (RCAs). This also includes the candidate participating in post-production failures of the product.
  • Actively participate in improving software development process, workflows, technologies used at SEDEMAC and ensure compliance with software development standards as relevant to the product line that the lead engineer is driving.
  • Perform code reviews; have a keen eye forsuspecting and spotting potential errors.
  • Participate in hands-on software development work (mostly in C and C++, and occasionally in Python, MATLAB/Simulink). It is important to highlight that although the Lead Engineer will typically have a few people reporting to him/her, the role is very much hands-on.
  • Ensure thorough, high-quality documentation of the software artefacts developed, and participate in development of white-papers to improve the state of the software team’s knowledge repository.

Technical Skills and Experience:

  • Software development experience in embedded software development in C and preferably C++.
  • Comfort with Python scripting is good to have.
  • Experience with RTOS is a plus.
  • Good knowledge and hands-on experience with IDEs, debuggers, emulators etc.
  • Experience of Model Based Development using MATLAB and Simulink (Embedded Coder or TargetLink) is a plus.
  • Good understanding ofsoftware development process and standards like MISRA C/C++.
  • Experience in handling the entire lifecycle of a firmware product including revisions and variants.
  • Comfort with Git is very much desired.
  • Exposure to automotive systems and software e.g. Bootloaders, CAN, UDS, OBD etc. is desirable.
  • Hands-on experience with Microcontrollers from Renesas, TI, Infineon, NXP is a plus.
  • Comfort in working with electronic hardware, motors, oscilloscopes, etc.

Information on Selection Process :

  • The selection process will be multi-phased tests plus interviews.
  • There will be focus on evaluation of your understanding of embedded software skills, logical & analytical skills

Educational Requirement : Bachelor's or master’s degree in Electronics / Electrical Engineering with at least 60% throughout academics.

Experience:  5+ years of relevant work experience.
