Senior Systems Engineer- Vehicle Ethernet

We are looking for a talented and motivated candidate to join our team in our journey of defining and executing the backbone of our company's future-the next generation Vehicle Electrical and Software Architecture.

The Mechatronics Infrastructure organization is looking for a Senior Systems Engineer who will work on development and validation of the in-vehicle Ethernet network. The role will focus in particular on systems engineering areas that are in the midst of transformation, with key examples being design automation tools and machine-readable network configuration artifacts, expanding our network verification bench.

The role will also include the advancement of our networking solutions and protocols required for our next-generation architectures, as well as close collaboration with stakeholders across the hardware and software organizations.

- Design and develop in-vehicle Ethernet systems, including network architecture, topology, and communication protocols across all networking layers of the OSI model. - Develop and maintain toolchain for automated design of network configurations. As communications infrastructure functionality is enhanced, develop and implement algorithms to continue enabling automated generation of network configuration artifacts. - Develop and expand our network verification bench, for early validation and tracking of network performance. - Perform extensive functional and temporal evaluation of key networking protocols and solutions like gPTP, redundant gPTP, traffic shaping, and redundant communication. - Develop behavioral technical specifications (BTS) for existing and new in-vehicle communications functionality. - Evaluate new hardware and software solutions to support technology insertion into next-generation architectures.

Examples include, but are not limited to, Differentiated Services in 10BASE-T1S networks, networking IP in MCUs/SoCs, and new RCP (Open Alliance TC18) solutions.

- Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline. - 5+ years of experience planning, designing, and implementing complex computer networks. - Knowledge of computer networking protocols, network architecture, and communication standards, including automotive Ethernet technologies and networking stacks like TCP/IP and SOME/IP. - Knowledge of and experience with software development lifecycle and testing methodologies, network trouble-shooting. simulation and analysis tools, and programming languages. - Knowledge of and experience with real-time operating systems, embedded software architectures, and AUTOSAR.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with ability to see the big-picture perspective. - Strong communication skills with the ability to, for a wide variety of audiences, adapt the explanation of complex technical concepts. - Strong teamwork skills to collaborate effectively with peers, cross-functional teams, and stakeholders. - Evidence of ability to master new technical areas.

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

- Master's degree in Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline. - Advanced knowledge of the internals of the data-link layer components (for example, switch internals and communication software stack). - Demonstrated experience designing and implementing Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) solution (for example, time synchronization and traffic prioritization/shaping). - Knowledge and end-to-end awareness of the hardware and software components (PHYs, switches, hardware interfaces, connectors, cables, software stack, protocols) that make up a network in the automotive domain.

Advanced knowledge of internals of Ethernet switch behavior.

This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the selected candidate is expected to report to a specific location at least 3 times a week {or other frequency dictated by their manager}.
