Summary and responsibilities
Role overview
Summary
As an Embedded Software Engineer at Vay, you will design, implement, and verify safety-critical software that directly controls vehicle functions for remote driving. This role involves hands-on work with hardware, analyzing system behavior, and improving tooling and automation in a fast-paced environment.
What you’ll be driving
Design, implement, and verify embedded software for safe remote driving
Analyse and validate system behaviour across software and hardware, and design robust solutions
Work hands-on with the hardware: schematics, lab equipment, and the vehicle
Improve our tooling, automation, and tests, together with the hardware, control, systems, and testing teams
What are we looking for
Solid C for embedded or low-level systems
Hands-on with hardware: reading schematics and using an oscilloscope and lab equipment, from your studies, an internship, or personal projects
Keen to learn fast and grow into broader system ownership
We welcome candidates with 0-5 years of experience, including those coming from adjacent industries such as robotics, IoT, industrial automation, aerospace, or other safety-critical systems, who are excited to apply their skills to driverless mobility.
Nice to have (genuinely optional, you can pick these up here)
Experience with real-time or RTOS-based systems
Exposure to testing/validation environments: simulation, HIL, or in-vehicle
Familiarity with automotive interfaces and standards: CAN / CAN FD, AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, MISRA-C
Experience with automotive tooling such as Vector (CANoe/CANalyzer) and Lauterbach (TRACE32)
Custom digital logic / FPGA / VHDL, or other low-level hardware interaction
None of these are entry requirements. If you have the fundamentals and the mindset, you’ll learn the automotive specifics on the job.
