  • MCU Porting & Platform Bring-up
    • Port an existing embedded software stack (RTOS + MCAL + middleware) from NXP MCU to a new MCU platform.
    • Bring up core peripherals on the new MCU (CAN, GPIO, UART, SPI, timers, interrupts, etc.).
    • Develop or adapt board support packages and hardware abstraction layers.
  • RTOS & Middleware Integration
    • Integrate and configure an automotive-grade RTOS on the new MCU.
    • Ensure correct task scheduling, resource management, and performance under real-time constraints.
  • Automotive Communication & Diagnostics
    • Adapt and validate CAN stack and UDS protocol (ISO 14229) support on the new MCU.
    • Ensure correct handling of DTCs, DIDs, and OTA commands.
    • Maintain compliance with automotive standards (ISO 11898, AUTOSAR MCAL if applicable).
  • System Interface Development
    • Implement and test communication interfaces with an external high-end CPU via GPIO, UART, and SPI.
    • Support CPU power control, suspend/resume, and status reporting.
  • Testing & Validation
    • Develop test cases for regression and validation on the new platform.
    • Debug and resolve integration issues at hardware/software boundaries.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
  • 5+ years of experience in embedded software development on MCUs.
  • Hands-on experience with MCAL driver development/porting and low-level peripheral bring-up.
  • Experience with CAN bus communication and diagnostics protocols (UDS, ISO 14229).
  • Solid understanding of embedded C/C++, linker scripts, memory management, and interrupt handling.
  • Strong background in RTOS-based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, AUTOSAR OS, OSEK, etc.).
  • Familiarity with automotive-grade development practices (MISRA C, ISO 26262 awareness, version control, unit testing).
  • Practical experience using multimeter, oscilloscope, and JTAG/debuggers for hardware bring-up, measurement, and troubleshooting.
  • Great team player, dedicated to the company, willing to take on challenging tasks.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Background in AUTOSAR Classic stack configuration and porting
  • Prior experience with NXP MCUs and at least one other major automotive MCU vendor (e.g., Renesas, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, TI).
  • Experience with any tools from Vector.

Annual Salary Range:

($110,000 - $130,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
