You will be the Software Architect belonging to the System Team with the overall responsible of the system design of the EDSW.

About you
You have an ability to work independently plan, drive, and follow up your work towards objectives with significant communication, and collaborative skill. You have an ability to show courage, perseverant enough to drive important changes. We see that you are structured, accurate and skilled to summarize and present the status of your work in a clear way towards different groups within the organization. To be successful in this role a complete system understanding of Electric Propulsion is needed such as specific knowledge about Electric machines, inverters, and SW Deployment. You should have worked with system design of Software in similar environment.

What you will do
As SW Architect you are expected to drive the work with SW execution order and scheduling, memory management, core allocation, the code generation method (and the optimization of the method) as well as CPU load. The SW is part of a CI chain, so a part of the work is to support with the design of the CI structure and safeguard so that all the team’s SW components are compliant to the CI as well as to ensure that any new functionality is not overloading the MCU. You will also, in collaboration with the System Architect, manage the signals and signal routing within the different SW compositions within the MCU as well as actively work on the architecture to limit the number of SW variants while at the same time make the architecture to be flexible enough so that it allows for growth of new functions. As the SW is Autosar based you are expected to have a thorough understating of it as well as to how to fully utilize the inbuilt functions (as well as the inbuilt MCU features) to optimize the performance of the SW. In addition to Autosar knowledge you are also expected to have experience in C-coding, RTOS/embedded systems, and kernel configuration.
