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.
