Summary:

Lead EE/SW integration and release management. Coordinate ECU software maturity, diagnostics and regression coverage.

Roles and Responsibilities 

• Drive EE/SW integration activities for prototype, pre-production, and production builds. 
• Manage ECU-level and network-level integration issues across CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet.
  Ensure bootloader, flashing, and software update processes (OTA or UDS-based) are fully validated.
• Oversee network bring-up, diagnostics verification, and DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) testing. 
• Align interface control documents (ICDs), network description files (DBC, LDF, FIBEX, ARXML), and ensure configuration consistency. 
• Review ECU software release notes to confirm feature completeness and backward compatibility. 
• Coordinate SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and full vehicle integration testing. 
• Drive test automation and regression coverage for system-level functionality using tools such as dSPACE, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, ETAS LABCAR, or NI Veristand. 
• Ensure test results are traceable to system and software requirements. 
• Track power consumption, network load, wake-up/sleep, and timing analysis during integration phases. 
• Own open issue dashboards (JIRA, ALM, or similar) and ensure clear root cause tracking with engineering teams. 
• Support change management and version control (Git, SVN, or PTC tools) to maintain ECU software integrity.
• Validate that ASIL-level software components meet ISO 26262 compliance requirements.
• Coordinate FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DFMEA closure for integration-related issues. 
• Interface with EE design teams, SW developers, calibration engineers, and supplier integration teams to align dependencies.
• Communicate integration readiness metrics (flash status, network stability, regression pass rates) to leadership. 
• Prepare gate review documentation, highlighting technical maturity and open risk items before release.
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field. 
• 4 - 8 years of related experience 
• Strong understanding of vehicle E/E architecture and ECU-level software stacks, automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet), UDS diagnostics (ISO 14229) and diagnostic communication tools 
• Strong understanding, development and verification of plant and control models in MATLAB/Simulink for execution in hardware in the loop test environment, dSpace control desk and automation desk 
• Strong understanding of 1st principles in Engineering, result/solution oriented. 
• Familiarity with SW for embedded systems, EE systems and architecture 
• Familiarity with A2B, CAN, Automotive Ethernet, LIN, LVDS communication protocols and Vehicle Network tools, such as CANalyzer, CANoe, etc.‚ 
• Expertise with complex problem solving, data analysis, access/interpret/drive results with extended teams. 
• Knowledge of Automotive design and development process, system requirements, and general engineering best practices
