Location: **Michigan City-North** Req ID: **28845** **About** We're looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to drive software architecture across a diverse portfolio of embedded and connected products. This role blends system-level design, hands-on development with real hardware, and technical leadership within a growing engineering organization. You'll work across software, firmware, and physical systems-shaping architecture, solving complex field issues, and mentoring engineers-while helping scale engineering practices and product quality. This role includes limited travel (~4 weeks/year) for on-site development, troubleshooting, and industry events. **What You'll Do** **Architecture & Technical Leadership** - Lead evolution of software architecture across embedded and connected systems - Balance near-term delivery with long-term scalability, maintainability, and reliability - Drive design reviews, technical standards, and cross-team architectural alignment **Hands-On Development & System Debugging** - Design, build, and debug software for embedded controllers, industrial systems, and HMIs - Work directly with hardware, including custom embedded systems and industrial controllers - Diagnose complex system-level issues spanning software, firmware, hardware, and real-world conditions **Testing & Quality Engineering** - Elevate automated testing practices across teams - Design unit and integration testing strategies for embedded and application layers - Lead development of automated test systems to improve coverage, reliability, and release velocity **Mentorship & Engineering Culture** - Mentor engineers through code reviews, pairing, and technical coaching - Promote strong engineering fundamentals and pragmatic problem-solving - Help build a culture of ownership, collaboration, and continuous improvement **Cross-Functional Collaboration** - Contribute as a senior member of a Scrum team spanning multiple product lines - Partner with hardware, firmware, systems, and application engineers - Manage competing priorities and context switching while maintaining high standards **AI & Engineering Productivity** - Help define and implement responsible use of AI in engineering workflows and products - Establish practical use cases, guardrails, and best practices **Technical Environment** You'll work across a wide range of embedded and connected technologies, including: **Embedded & Distributed Systems** - CAN networks (J1939, CANopen, RV-C) - Ethernet-based communication - Cellular, Bluetooth, and remote diagnostics **Software & Platforms** - Embedded C, Python - Mobile (iOS/Android), web interfaces, cloud systems, OTA updates **Control & Power Systems** - Motor control (BLDC, PMAC) - Battery management systems (BMS) - Power conversion (DC-DC, AC-DC, inverters up to 50 kW) **Vehicle & Industrial Integration** - Engine control, HVAC, PTO systems - Hydraulic, welding, and air compressor systems **What You Bring** - Strong experience in embedded software development (C/C++ and/or Python) - Experience with microcontrollers (e.g., STM, PIC) and low-level systems - Background in system-level debugging across hardware and software - Experience designing automated testing systems (embedded or hardware-integrated) - Familiarity with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling or control systems - Experience with industrial controllers or PLC-like systems (nice to have) - Exposure to functional safety (SIL, ASIL) is a plus **Mindset:** - Systems thinker who enjoys working across hardware and software - Pragmatic problem-solver comfortable with ambiguity - Strong communicator and collaborator - Invested in mentoring and growing others **Why This Role Stands Out** - Work on **real-world machines**, not just software - Influence **architecture, testing strategy, and engineering culture** - Balance **hands-on problem solving** with **long-term system design** - Help shape how **AI is responsibly integrated** into engineering workflows
