Embedded Software Engineer - ECU

Job Details

• Design, build, and maintain an automated testing framework for a virtual Electronic
• Control Unit (ECU) in a simulated environment.
• Configure and instantiate virtual ECU environments using Corellium and/or qEmu to simulate the microcontroller.
• Integrate virtual models of internal and external MCU peripherals (e.g., Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, GPIO) to accurately reflect real hardware behavior.
• Develop automated test cases and execute V&V plans for safety critical ECUs.
• Deploy and manage the entire testing environment within Aurora's
• AWS environment, including spinning up EC2 instances and setting up tools for automatic test execution.
• Integrate the virtual test framework into Aurora’s CI/CD pipeline to enable daily test reports and continuous validation.
• Work closely with hardware and firmware engineers to ensure the virtual environment accurately models the real ECU.

Required Qualifications

• Expert-level knowledge of C or C++ programming.
• Experience with 32-bit microcontrollers, particularly ARM Cortex-M7 and automotive processors like the NXP S32K/G series.
• Strong knowledge of communication protocols from low level (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART) to high level (TCP/UDP).
• Experience with hardware emulation or simulation platforms such as Corellium or qEmu.
• Proficiency in a scripting language like Python for test automation and interfacing with SDKs.
• Basic knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals to support low-level debugging.
• Bachelor's or higher degree in EE, CS, CE, or equivalent experience.

Desirable knowledge

• Experience with cloud environments, particularly AWS.
• Experience integrating automation frameworks into CI/CD pipelines.
• Familiarity with RTOS environments, such as FreeRTOS and Bazel build environment.
• Familiarity with electronics test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes) and hardware debugging interfaces like JTAG.
