Eaton’s Vehicle Group is currently seeking a Software Engineering Specialist to join our team. This position is based at our Southfield, MI or Galesburg, MI location. Relocation assistance will be provided.

Position Overview:

The Software Engineering Specialist serves as a technical subject matter expert (SME) in the area of embedded AUTOSAR software, BSW/MCAL configuration and RTE generation and sets embedded software development priorities. In this role, you will review embedded software requirements, design software architecture and produce algorithm solutions, define Validation & Verification strategy; as well as, the overall V-cycle process to confirm that system and functional requirements are met.

The Software Engineering Specialist will be responsible for working with team members and engineering managers to estimate development, resources and timing to achieve the desired results. The incumbent will be expected to train and mentor less experienced engineers and provide technical direction to Eaton engineering centers globally. You will be involved in a wide variety of projects, will conduct feasibility studies to ensure that objectives are met, and will be the main technical support and interface to system, hardware and other departments.

Making what matters work at Eaton takes the passion of every employee around the world. We create an environment where creativity, invention and discovery become reality, each and every day. It’s where bold, bright professionals like you can reach your full potential—and where you can help us reach ours.

In this function you will:

• Lead AUTOSAR embedded software project development, managing requirements to architecture, configuration/generation/implementation (CDD as needed) and validation. Develop integration strategy, release schedule and integration test plan following software release plan and supplies release schedule.

• Work with Software architecture to configure RTE and generate RTE AUTOSAR code. Apply the appropriate AUTOSAR software standards, processes, procedures and tools through the software development life cycle

• Lead external partners and internal engineering resources on the integration work between ECU ASW and BSW interfaces, Complex device drivers, RTE generation, service tool drivers and other intelligent embedded systems within the AUTOSAR Framework to meet customer and project timelines.

• Evaluate embedded system level requirements and software algorithm proposals to meet product performance (Processor utilization, memory usage), functionality and robustness requirements. Help define and improve embedded coding standards, Configuration guidelines and processes, and contribute to industry technical papers and conferences.

• Invent and develop embedded software strategies and guide architecture design to achieve AUTOSAR compliant solutions. Use debugging and simulation tools to efficiently perform design iterations and optimization. Verify solutions created through simulation, sub-system, hardware-in-the-loop and vehicle level testing.

• Drive implementation consistency across multiple resources contributing to the same embedded system architecture. Champion and document improvements to the engineering standard work processes used to engineer Eaton’s products.

• Utilize industry functional safety process to enhance design robustness. Provide strategic direction to the validation/verification process at a unit, sub-system and vehicle level to meet functional safety requirements; as well as, provided guidance to simulation, test stand and vehicle level data analysis activities.

• Build and maintain working relationships with the controls and software engineering organization, other functional groups and customers.

• Conduct software defect root-cause analysis, resource profiling, lead implementation and validate corrective actions.

When we embrace the different ideas, perspectives and backgrounds that make each of us unique, we — as individuals and as a company — are stronger.
