Position Overview and Objective

Astemo's Advanced Engineering team is hiring an Engineer II to develop embedded software for next-generation AD/ADAS ECUs. This is a flexible role that spans application, platform, and tooling layers — supporting the implementation and integration of advanced functions on automotive compute platforms. The engineer will work across multiple areas as priorities evolve and is expected to contribute to both current development needs and emerging software initiatives.

Job Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate software components that enable advanced AD/ADAS functions to run on embedded automotive platforms.
• Implement scheduling, orchestration, and execution logic for advanced applications on automotive compute platforms.
• Contribute to software architecture that supports efficient development, integration, and validation workflows for AD/ADAS applications.
• Model, analyze, and optimize software behavior on embedded targets to meet performance and reliability requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to support evolving software initiatives across applications, platforms, and tooling layers.

Qualifications

• Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ and Python.
• Working knowledge of embedded software development on Linux and/or RTOS environments.
• Familiarity with AD/ADAS systems and automotive compute platforms.
• Understanding of software execution concepts — scheduling, inter-process communication, resource management — in real-time embedded systems.
• Practical experience integrating application software with platform-level services on embedded targets.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and analysis skills.
• Flexibility and willingness to work across multiple software layers as project needs evolve.
• Effective communication and presentation skills, with NVIDIA Drive OS and toolchain experience a plus.

Additionally, the ability to work independently with minimal direction is required as are strong verbal and written communication skills. Experience with PCs and application software, such as MS Office tools, is also required.
