Sr. Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer

Ethernovia is developing the future of Ethernet-based networks for software-defined and autonomous vehicles, robotics, and other intelligent machines. As a Senior Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer, you will be responsible for developing the software stack for networking devices, including device drivers and firmware, ensuring safety and functionality in automotive applications.

Responsibilities

• You will be responsible for Ethernovia’s Networking devices software stack development which will include; Embedded Firmware, kernel/user mode device drivers, stack extensions, debug, and test utilities, as well as automated unit/system testing
• The drivers will integrate with the Communication Stack of a Linux and AUTOSAR Stack
• The device drivers will allow the User application, Middleware and Operating system to take full advantage of the feature rich hardware
• As for the firmware it configures, controls, and monitors the communication device and interacts with the host system via device drivers to expose hardware features of the devices
• Firmware code may also run as a standalone library within the device driver itself
• As a part of the Software team, you will be responsible for architecture, design, implementation, testing, and integration of the device drivers rolled into Ethernovia’s SDK
• These drivers are built ground-up for safety critical automotive application
• Also, we build products with strict adherence to Functional Safety and hence every team member is required to fit into a culture of safety and best development practices

• AUTOSAR Communication Stack
• MCAL
• Experience with simulation and emulation platforms
• GNU or similar compiler, debugging suite
• Embedded programming, preferably with communication devices and hardware buses like I2C, SPI, Ethernet, USB
• Building Automotive or other safety critical systems using qualification methods/processes like MISRA, ASPICE and ISO26262
• Communication/networking protocols like: Ethernet MAC, PHY, Switching, TCP/IP, Security, Serdes, PCIe, NTB, and SR-IOV
• Video processing standards and protocols
