Embedded Software Engineer

Software, the fuel for mobility

We bring bold digital visions to life. So we’re on the lookout for more curious and creative engineers who want to create change – one line of high-quality code at a time. Our transformation isn't for everyone, but if you're excited about solving the leading-edge technological challenges facing the auto industry, then let’s talk about your next move.

Let's introduce ourselves

We develop safety-critical embedded software for modern vehicle platforms, spanning both AUTOSAR Classic and AUTOSAR Adaptive. Our software manages core vehicle functions — how the car wakes up, operates, and shuts down. Several components carry ASIL B safety classification under ISO 26262, so the code we write has real consequences.

The Team is located in Poland but cooperates with engineers from Sweden on a daily basis.

Who you are:

We think you are a self-driven team player with high ambitions and both a sense of ownership and dedication to quality in everything you do. You take a structured approach to your work and have analytical skills that you have successfully applied to complex engineering tasks in the past.

You collaborate well with your peers and are open to share your work and expertise, and you are also not afraid to ask when you need their help. At the same time, you have no problem stating your own opinion and setting high standards.

You communicate well in English and have a B.Sc. or equivalent within Computer / Electrical / IT Engineering, Mechatronics or similar area of education. An M.Sc. is extra meritorious.

What you'll do

C/C++ Embedded Software Developer — Automotive 

Above all, we need a strong problem solver. Someone who can break down complex systems, reason about cause and effect across layers of software, and find the root cause. You're methodical, you ask good questions, and you never leave assumptions unchallenged. When something is unclear — a requirement, an interface contract, a design decision — you stop and clarify before moving forward.

• Design and implement embedded software in C++ across Autosar Adaptive platform with occasional work with C and Autosar Classic 
• Develop components that handle inter-processor communication, signal routing, and system state management
• Write and maintain automated tests at multiple levels — unit, integration, and system
• Work with static analysis tools and coding standards to ensure safety and quality compliance
• Participate in code reviews, contribute to architecture discussions, and help improve our development practices
• Collaborate in CI/CD workflows where builds, tests, and analysis run automatically on every change

What you'll bring

We expect you to have experience from software design and development, specifically in:

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills — you reason systematically, debug methodically, and always clarify before you code
  
• C++ in an embedded or resource-constrained environment
  
• Automated testing — unit tests and mocks (GoogleTest or equivalent), understanding of multi-level testing
  
• Build systems — CMake or Bazel
  
• Git — branching, rebasing, code review workflows
  
• Familiarity with CI pipelines and static analysis tooling
  
• ASPICE process experience (V-model, SWE.1–SWE.6)
  
• AUTOSAR Adaptive
• Python scripting for automation or tooling
  

Nice to have:

• experience with C language and willingness to work with it
• AUTOSAR Classic
• ISO 26262 / Functional Safety — ASIL-rated development, E2E protection, safety analysis
• QNX, FreeRTOS, or other RTOS experience
  
• MISRA C, AUTOSAR C++14, or CERT coding standards
  
• Experience with Polyspace, clang-tidy, or similar static analysis tools
  
• In-vehicle communication protocols (CAN, LIN, SOME/IP, Ethernet)
  
• Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer) or similar bus analysis tooling
  
• Experience cross-compiling for a target platform (ARM, TriCore, QNX, or similar)
  
• Requirements management and traceability tooling
