Responsibilities

Define and maintain the end-to-end software architecture for EV and Connected Vehicle platforms, ensuring scalability and long-term maintainability

Develop architecture-level requirements, including system decomposition, interface definitions (ex. CAN database file), and communication structures

Establish and govern software design standards and patterns that ensure consistent quality and efficient collaboration across teams

Leverage deep knowledge of automotive standards such as AUTOSAR, while researching and developing the most suitable architecture approach for ENC without being constrained by existing frameworks

Evaluate and select technology stacks, frameworks, and tools that support robust embedded, edge, and cloud software development

Architect integrations for TCUs, gateways, and connectivity modules, defining key communication and diagnostic interfaces

Collaborate with backend/cloud teams to design secure and efficient data pipelines for telemetry, diagnostics, OTA, and fleet management

Troubleshoot software-related issues in components, communication, and vehicle systems

Resolve complex technical challenges in component development, system integration, and deployment

Improve software engineering processes through standardized procedures, documentation and related tools

Proactively mitigate project delays by providing short-term solutions for design/implementation issues

Support system configuration, including installation, training, and setup for end-users or internal stakeholders

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (e.g., Sales, Manufacturing, Service) to design, implement, and troubleshoot new technologies/features

Participate in business travel for engineering purposes, including international trips (e.g., to China) as needed
