EMBEDDED SOFTWARE ENGINEER

5+ years of experience + Automotive/Class 8 vehicle/Heavy industrial

We re searching for an Embedded Software Engineer to join Aurora s team to spearhead the development of our virtual ECU testing framework. This role focuses on establishing a robust, automated software integration testing framework for the ARM based microcontrollers.

In this role, you will

Design, build, and maintain an automated testing framework for a virtual Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in a simulated environment.

Configure and instantiate virtual ECU environments using Corellium and/or qEmu to simulate the microcontroller.

Integrate virtual models of internal and external MCU peripherals (e.g., Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, GPIO) to accurately reflect real hardware behavior.

Develop automated test cases and execute V&V plans for safety critical ECUs.

Deploy and manage the entire testing environment within Aurora's AWS environment, including spinning up EC2 instances and setting up tools for automatic test execution.

Integrate the virtual test framework into Aurora s CI/CD pipeline to enable daily test reports and continuous validation.

Work closely with hardware and firmware engineers to ensure the virtual environment accurately models the real ECU.

Required Qualifications

Expert-level knowledge of C or C++ programming.

Experience with 32-bit microcontrollers, particularly ARM Cortex-M7 and automotive processors like the NXP S32K/G series.

Strong knowledge of communication protocols from low level (SPI, I2C, CAN, UART) to high level (TCP/UDP).

Experience with hardware emulation or simulation platforms such as Corellium or qEmu.

Proficiency in a scripting language like Python for test automation and interfacing with SDKs.

Basic knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals to support low-level debugging.

Bachelor's or higher degree in EE, CS, CE, or equivalent experience.

Desirable knowledge

Experience with cloud environments, particularly AWS.

Experience integrating automation frameworks into CI/CD pipelines.

Familiarity with RTOS environments, such as FreeRTOS and Bazel build environment.

Familiarity with electronics test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes) and hardware debugging interfaces like JTAG.
