Embedded Software Engineer

What You Drive at DTNA

• Lead development of vehicle-level energy management strategies across the full development lifecycle (modeling, simulation, embedded implementation and validation)
• Balance competing demands such as range, performance, durability, and driver comfort under real-world conditions
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams for hardware, software, electrical systems and vehicle integration
• Lead or contribute to validation activities for energy management controls in MiL, SiL, HiL and in-vehicle testing
• Correlate simulation results to real-world vehicle behavior, understand differences and maximize energy management systems outputs for a higher overall vehicle performance and high durability
• Use connected vehicle data to understand how e-systems perform in real operations including in fleet usage and make recommendations to improve efficiency and robustness for current and next-generation of e-vehicles
• Ensure alignment across requirements, models, software and validation results
• Contribute to continuous improvement using a structured engineering approach
• Provide technical leadership in energy management, help drive decisions, priorities and system-level solutions across engineering teams
• Strong systems thinking and cross-domain problem-solving skills
• Ownership mindset from concept through vehicle validation
• Effective collaboration across multidisciplinary engineering teams

Knowledge You Should Bring

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering and/or Computer Science with 5-7 years of relevant experience or 8+ years of experience in lieu of degree
• Strong technical expertise in energy management in BEVs
• Experience in developing production-intent control strategies for BEVs
• Expert experience with Mathworks toolchain, Vector tools, dSpace or equivalent HiL platform
• Familiarity with embedded systems, ECU integration and vehicle communication networks
• Good knowledge of SEDP or equivalent V-model development processes
• Experience in multi-stage validation environments (MiL, SiL, HiL and vehicle)
• Strong written and verbal communication; able to present technical tradeoffs, risks, and decisions to diverse audiences.
• Strong work ethics, highly motivated, and ability to drive results in a collaborative engineering environment.

Exceptional Candidates Might Have

• Experience with heavy-duty or Class 8 vehicle applications
• Experience with predictive or optimization-based energy management
• Familiarity with embedded automotive software development environments and interfaces between controls models and production ECUs
• Proven success working in globally distributed teams (e.g., coordinating deliverables across multiple engineering centers) consistent with global coordination expectations
• Track record of mentoring engineers and building sustainable team practices (planning, metrics, review cadence, technical standards)
• Experience applying modern engineering tools (automation, data analytics, AI-assisted engineering) to improve development efficiency, validation quality, or requirements traceability
• Familiarity with connected vehicle data systems and fleet analytics
