A key part of the role is working with complex distributed systems involving multiple ECUs and MCUs communicating via CAN-bus and related protocols.
You will be deeply involved in solving technical challenges, ensuring robust design and high quality in everything from concept discussions to lab and field validation. To thrive in this role, you need to combine a problem solving mindset with strong technical ownership and a passion for engineering excellence.
