Description

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.
