- Proficiency in English, both written and spoken, with natural communication skills and the ability to collaborate in multicultural teams.
- At least 5 years of hands-on experience using Matlab™ Simulink for software development and deployment.
- Strong familiarity with automotive and off-highway communication protocols and ecosystems, such as CAN, J1939/CANOpen, UDS, LIN, AUTOSAR, etc.
- Experience with embedded development tools and environments.
- Strong programming skills in C/C++ are a plus.
- Strong scripting skills and experience with automation tools are a plus.
- Motivation to grow toward system-level design.
- Understanding of microcontroller-based systems and willingness to expand into broader system architecture.
- Ability to collaborate with hardware and mechanical teams, and interest in developing cross-disciplinary design skills.
- Experience working with cross-cultural and intercontinental teams is a plus.
- Experience with High Voltage (HV) systems is a plus.
- Experience in functional safety development and relevant standards (ISO 26262, ISO 13849) is a plus.
- Experience in cybersecurity analysis and secure system design is a plus.
