• Integrate and manage CDD files for ECU diagnostics, ensuring compliance with OEM specifications.

• Develop diagnostic services supporting fault memory, DTCs, routine control, and data identifiers using UDS over CAN and DoIP.

• Implement and validate service-oriented architectures (SOA) using technologies like SOME/IP, SOVD, and Ethernet.

• Collaborate with functional safety teams to ensure solutions comply with ISO 26262 standards.

• Support integration and debugging of diagnostics features on HIL benches and test vehicles.

• Work cross-functionally with cloud and edge-based systems to enable remote diagnostics, telemetry, and OTA capabilities.

• Strong proficiency in C/C++ and Python for embedded systems.

• Experience developing embedded or diagnostics software in the automotive industry.

• Experience with vehicle communication stacks (e.g., CAN, DoIP, Ethernet) and knowledge on sensor connectivity using RS232, CAN and/or GMSL

• Hands-on experience with UDS diagnostic services, and service development using CDD files.

• Familiarity with ISO 26262 and development of ASIL-compliant systems.

• Strong debugging and validation skills in an automotive environment, including HIL/SIL setups.

• Understanding of automotive cybersecurity principles and secure communication protocols.

Bonus Points!

• Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and service interfaces.

• Hands on experience implementing Service oriented vehicle diagnostics(SOVD) using REST API protocol

• Experience working with OTA update frameworks or remote diagnostic platforms.
