Embedded Software Engineer - Energy Systems

Toyota Material Handling is hiring a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to develop embedded software and control solutions across the product lifecycle. The role translates system requirements into software architectures, develops control algorithms and production software, and supports testing, validation, deployment, and field troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

Design and tune control algorithms for embedded and real-time applications

Translate product and system requirements into software architectures, specifications, and control strategies

Develop production-quality C/C++ software for microcontroller-based platforms

Implement communication software aligned with applicable standards and engineering principles

Create and maintain software requirements, technical documentation, specifications, and requirements traceability

Build unit, integration, and system-level test strategies to verify software performance and reliability

Support system integration, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, product deployment, and post-release issues

Participate in architecture, design, code, and safety reviews while supporting functional safety analyses, hazard mitigation, and safety mechanisms

Collaborate with systems, hardware, software, quality, and validation teams to improve coding standards, testing methodologies, and engineering processes

Preferred

Functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849, UL 1998, or work with ASIL/SIL-rated products
