Job Description Summary
Responsible for designing, developing and testing Embedded Software (Firmware), platforms and systems that control and run on devices tailored to the needs of the hardware it has to control (i.e. directly controls the real-time functions of a physical device such as motors, alternators, engines, valves, fans, and other devices). This typically requires a deep understanding of the characteristics of the physical device being controlled, the real-time functions it is expected to perform, and the ability to design, develop, implement, and test the logic and software required to realize the real-time functionality. Usually tailored for products and services across various P&Ls. Responsible for departmental operations planning/execution or focused on execution of professional activities within a technical discipline. Functions with some autonomy but guided by established policies or review of end results. The job allows modification of procedures and practices covering work as long as the end results meet standards of acceptability (quality, volume, timeliness, etc.).
Job Description
As a Lead Embedded Software Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and testing embedded software within the Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) team.
