Role Summary:
The Engineer II, ADAS Software Integration is an early-career individual contributor within the ADAS business unit responsible for executing defined software integration activities with growing independence. The role performs targeted C/C++ and configuration changes, investigates build, compile, runtime, and deployment issues, supports software packaging and vehicle/bench flashing, and validates software changes across local, CI, bench, and vehicle environments. The Engineer II works with local ADAS integration teams and Germany-based engineering teams to reproduce issues, analyze logs and traces, implement routine fixes, document technical findings, and escalate higher-complexity issues when needed. The position remains hands-on and execution-focused while taking greater ownership for the quality, reproducibility, and completion of assigned integration work.
Role Responsibilities:
Embedded Software Support
Implement small to moderately scoped C/C++ changes in low-level software, middleware, or application software within assigned components.
Reproduce, investigate, and resolve routine compile, link, runtime, or integration issues using defined steps, available logs, traces, and established debugging methods.
Prepare and update code changes for review using established branching, code-review, and documentation
Validate approved software changes on local, CI, bench, or vehicle targets and document results.
Build, Compile & Integration Issue Triage
Execute build, compile, and integration workflows and independently capture failures, logs, and environment
Triage dependency, configuration, toolchain, and interface issues affecting ADAS software integration and resolve routine issues within the assigned scope.
Coordinate findings and next steps with software, integration, test, and release teams; escalate issues that require broader system or architectural decisions.
Document issue symptoms, reproduction steps, fix attempts, and validation evidence.
Deployment Tooling, Automation & Vehicle Flashing Support
Execute deployment packaging, release-candidate preparation, and delivery of ADAS software to bench and vehicle targets.
Maintain repeatable local, CI, or cloud deployment workflows and identify configuration or environment issues that affect reproducibility.
Develop or update simple scripts and configuration files that improve build, deployment, or flashing workflows.
Perform routine vehicle and bench flashing activities, including basic troubleshooting, recovery, and configuration checks; escalating complex failures when needed.
Bench, Vehicle Validation & Diagnostics Support
Execute ADAS bench and vehicle validation activities by enabling software updates, diagnostic access, logging, and trace capture.
Use diagnostic and communication tools across CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Ethernet, UDS, DoIP, or related technologies to support issue analysis.
Perform system configuration, commissioning, and readiness checks for benches, lab systems, and vehicles using established procedures.
Confirm that assigned software changes meet defined validation criteria and are ready for downstream testing or release activities.
Documentation & Continuous Improvement
Create and maintain technical documentation such as build notes, deployment steps, troubleshooting notes,…
