You will document root causes and coordinate corrective actions and release strategies with specialists and domain teams.

Responsibilities

• Ensure system stability and functionality through rigorous validation processes

• Reproduce and debug software issues during bench, HIL/ViL, vehicle, and program-validation activities; perform initial root-cause analysis and triage

• Integrate software components from internal teams and external vendors; run sanity and smoke tests to ensure build stability

• Reflash builds, execute updates, assist with FOTA investigations, and implement small configuration changes to validate hypotheses

• Own and coordinate issue resolution with specialists and domain teams; align on corrective actions and release strategies

• Document root causes, workarounds, and next steps; communicate findings to technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Maintain and adapt validation setups, including minor bench wiring or hardware modifications to isolate issues

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Embedded Systems, Automotive Engineering, or a comparable field

• 5+ years of experience in embedded software debugging, platform integration, system validation, or root cause analysis

• Strong understanding of automotive E&E architecture, vehicle subsystem interactions, and HPC software architectures

• Hands-on experience with system-level debugging, issue reproduction, root cause analysis, and technical triage

• Practical experience with hypervisor-based platforms and proficiency in QNX and Linux/Android

• Familiarity with bootloaders (U-Boot, ABL) and debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, Lauterbach, GDB)

• Knowledge of software flashing, updates, and FOTA concepts

• Familiarity with diagnostics and communication protocols (UDS, DoIP, OBD-II, CAN, etc.)

• Strong communication skills for technical reporting and stakeholder updates

• Experience with benches, HIL/VHIL environments, and/or vehicle testing

• Willingness to work onsite in Turin and travel occasionally (10–20%)

Benefits

• 12-month B2B project with an ASAP start

• Onsite role in Turin with occasional business travel (10–20%)
