The PRS Base Software Low-Level Driver Engineer is responsible for the design, development, integration, and validation of low-level driver software for propulsion and electrified powertrain control modules.
Key responsibilities include:
Design, develop, and maintain embedded low-level driver software including requirements analysis, architecture, coding, integration, and verification.
Implement hardware interface drivers for peripherals and external devices including high-side and low-side drivers (HSD/LSD), SPI, I2C, H-Bridge interfaces, and motor control drivers (e.g., PWM, FOC, position/speed sensing interfaces).
Develop and integrate Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) components, hardware interface drivers, and complex device drivers supporting propulsion applications.
Configure and integrate AUTOSAR Basic Software modules such as OS, IOHWAB, FEE, and WDG using Vector or ETAS toolchains.
Perform hardware-software integration by working with hardware schematics, device reference manuals, and microcontroller documentation.
Support ECU hardware bring-up and early software enablement activities on new controller platforms.
Debug and troubleshoot hardware/software integration issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, trace tools, and emulators (e.g., Lauterbach).
Optimize low-level driver implementations for deterministic real-time performance, efficient memory usage, and reliable peripheral operation on multicore microcontrollers.
Collaborate with hardware engineering, systems, controls, and supplier teams to ensure proper hardware interface functionality and alignment with propulsion system requirements.
Ensure alignment with AUTOSAR architecture, including RTE integration and system resource usage.
Conduct and participate in design reviews, code reviews, and technical inspections to ensure high-quality software deliverables.
Develop and maintain technical documentation including software design specifications, interface definitions, and test plans.
Perform software verification and validation activities including unit testing, integration testing, and validation on target hardware (white box, black box, and gray box testing).
Ensure compliance with automotive software standards and development processes including MISRA-C, ASPICE, and ISO 26262.
Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, tools, and methodologies.
Support vehicle program milestones and production software releases with high-quality, validated deliverables.
