Software Engineer (Middleware)
Posted Updated
- We are looking for highly motivated Software Engineers to focus on developing core middleware components and services within Applied’s software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform
- You will be instrumental in developing the foundational software layers that enable advanced vehicle functions, working on challenging problems in distributed systems, high-speed networking, and functional safety architecture
- Design and implement core platform services using C++, focusing on multi-threading, concurrency, and performance optimization
- Develop and extend communication middleware utilizing protocols such as SOME/IP or DDS (and ideally Protobuf/gRPC) across the platform
- Work specifically within the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform functional clusters (e.g., Adaptive Platform Core, Communication Management, Execution Management, State Management)
- Apply expertise in networking and the Ethernet stack to ensure reliable and high-throughput data exchange in the vehicle
- Contribute to the robust design of system management functions (e.g., Health Management, Diagnostics) within the SDV architecture
- This role requires expertise in C++ to build robust, high-performance communication and system management solutions
- Experience with communication middleware such as SOME/IP or DDS
- Working knowledge of networking concepts built on the Ethernet stack
- Strong C++ expertise, including a solid understanding of multi-threading programming, mutexes, and design patterns
- 5+ years of experience in shipping complex, production software, ideally in the embedded, automotive, or robotics domains
- BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
- The drive to take initiative in a fast-paced environment and take ownership over technical decisions
- Don’t meet every single requirement? If you’re excited about this role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles
- Experience with Embedded systems and C programming
- Expertise in one or more AUTOSAR Adaptive functional clusters (e.g., Adaptive Platform Core, Communication Management, Execution Management, Diagnostics, Health Management)
- Experience with advanced inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms like Protobuf or gRPC
- Strong familiarity with POSIX operating systems (Linux) knowledge, including system calls, runtime behavior, and memory management
- Experience working with real-time or safety-critical distributed systems
