About the role

  • Embedded Software Engineer developing and maintaining firmware for automotive tracking devices. Collaborating on hardware validation and ensuring the reliability of embedded systems.

Responsibilities

  • Develop, optimize and maintain embedded firmware for automotive tracking and telematics devices (C/C++).
  • Implement, analyze and debug vehicle communication protocols, especially CAN, ISO 15765-4 (UDS), J1939 (when applicable) and proprietary protocols.
  • Develop drivers, services and middleware for automotive interfaces (CAN, LIN, K-Line, OBD-II).
  • Interpret and map ECU signals (DIDs, PIDs, raw CAN messages).
  • Integrate sensors and embedded modules (GNSS, accelerometer, GSM/LTE, BLE, Wi‑Fi).
  • Collaborate with hardware teams for prototype validation and bench testing.
  • Contribute to the creation of diagnostic tools, automated tests and validation scripts.
  • Perform firmware performance, power consumption and reliability analyses.
  • Document architecture, embedded APIs and communication flows.
  • Perform advanced field troubleshooting (logs, dumps, CAN analysis, sniffers).

Requirements

  • Degree in Electronic Engineering, Control and Automation, Computer Science, Telecommunications or related fields.
  • Strong experience in C/C++ for embedded systems.
  • Proven experience with the CAN bus:
  • Reading/writing frames

  • Use of tools such as PCAN, CANalyzer, CANoe, CANalyst-II or similar
  • Knowledge of OBD-II, PIDs and relevant automotive protocols.
  • Experience with RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, ThreadX, etc.).
  • Familiarity with ARM Cortex MCUs (STM32, NXP, ESP32, Nordic, etc.).
  • Experience using oscilloscope, logic analyzer and debug tools (SWD/JTAG).
  • Solid understanding of serial communication (UART, SPI, I2C).
  • Knowledge or experience with ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System).
  • Knowledge of automotive telematics applied to tracking (ignition data, odometry, driving events, etc.).
  • Experience with LTE-M, NB-IoT, CAT1 and modems from Quectel, Simcom, Telit.
  • Experience with embedded cryptography and firmware security.
  • Experience with remote firmware updates (FOTA/OTA).
  • Knowledge of J1939 (for heavy-duty fleets).
  • Experience with Python for test scripts or tooling.
  • Experience in power consumption analysis and energy management for embedded devices.
  • Familiarity with Git, CI/CD and embedded pipelines.
