Job Description
You will be responsible for the Ethernovia’s Networking devices software stack development this may include Embedded Firmware, kernel/user mode device drivers, stack extensions, debug, and test utilities as well as automated unit/system testing. The drivers will integrate with the Communication Stack of a Linux and AUTOSAR Stack. The device drivers will allow the User application, Middleware and Operating system to take full advantage of the feature rich hardware. As for the firmware it configures, controls, and monitors the communication device and interacts with the host system via device drivers to expose hardware features of the devices. Firmware code may also run as a standalone library within the device driver itself
As a part of the Software team, you will be responsible for architecture, design, implementation, testing, and integration of the device drivers rolled into Ethernovia’s SDK. These drivers are built ground-up for safety critical automotive application.
Also, we build products with strict adherence to Functional Safety and hence every team member is required to fit into a culture of safety and best development practices.
