• Work with Software architecture to configure RTE and generate RTE AUTOSAR code. Apply the appropriate AUTOSAR software standards, processes, procedures and tools through the software development life cycle
• Lead external partners and internal engineering resources on the integration work between ECU ASW and BSW interfaces, Complex device drivers, RTE generation, service tool drivers and other intelligent embedded systems within the AUTOSAR Framework to meet customer and project timelines.
• Evaluate embedded system level requirements and software algorithm proposals to meet product performance (Processor utilization, memory usage), functionality and robustness requirements. Help define and improve embedded coding standards, Configuration guidelines and processes, and contribute to industry technical papers and conferences.
• Invent and develop embedded software strategies and guide architecture design to achieve AUTOSAR compliant solutions. Use debugging and simulation tools to efficiently perform design iterations and optimization. Verify solutions created through simulation, sub-system, hardware-in-the-loop and vehicle level testing.
• Drive implementation consistency across multiple resources contributing to the same embedded system architecture. Champion and document improvements to the engineering standard work processes used to engineer Eaton’s products.
• Utilize industry functional safety process to enhance design robustness. Provide strategic direction to the validation/verification process at a unit, sub-system and vehicle level to meet functional safety requirements; as well as, provided guidance to simulation, test stand and vehicle level data analysis activities.
• Build and maintain working relationships with the controls and software engineering organization, other functional groups and customers.
• Conduct software defect root-cause analysis, resource profiling, lead implementation and validate corrective actions.
