Lead Software Engineer

2 Days Old

Job Description

Build software that directly controls how next-generation electric vehicles perform!


This is not a “feature development” role. You’ll be working at the heart of the vehicle — developing embedded software that drives real-time control across eAxles, inverters, and electrified driveline systems.


You’ll take ownership of software from concept through to production, working closely with hardware, controls, and systems teams to deliver high-performance, safety-critical solutions.


What makes this role interesting

  • Work on real vehicle control systems, not abstract layers
  • High level of ownership – you’re not just implementing specs, you help shape them
  • Involvement across the full lifecycle (concept → production)
  • Exposure to motor control, power electronics, and battery systems
  • Hands-on environment – engineering-led, not process-heavy


What you’ll be doing

  • Design and develop embedded software for real-time vehicle systems
  • Own delivery from requirements → integration → validation
  • Work directly with hardware (inverters, eAxles, ECUs)
  • Debug and optimise software on target hardware
  • Support system-level integration across powertrain and vehicle domains
  • Contribute to safe, production-ready software (ISO 26262)


What they’re looking for

  • Strong background in embedded C / real-time systems
  • Experience in automotive or safety-critical environments
  • Understanding of low-level drivers (CAN, SPI, PWM, ADC)
  • Experience with automotive MCUs (e.g. Aurix, NXP, STM)
  • Exposure to functional safety (ISO 26262)


Why consider this

If you enjoy being close to the hardware, solving real-time challenges, and seeing your software directly impact how a vehicle behaves — this is the kind of role where you’ll genuinely feel that.
