• Implement and optimize communication stacks and protocols: Ethernet, CAN/CAN-FD, UART, SPI, I2C, IPC
• Work on RTOS-based and bare-metal firmware (FreeRTOS / SafeRTOS) and support Linux/QNX integrations
• Perform integration, bench-level debugging, HIL validation, and performance tuning (CPU, memory, power)
• Create and execute unit and integration tests; automate test flows and validation using Python scripting
• Ensure development and deliverables meet MISRA, ASPICE, and ISO 26262 requirements where applicable
• Maintain design artifacts, traceability, and release engineering support; participate in triage and release activities
