About the role

  • Foster a forward-thinking work culture that embraces change and navigates future organizational and industry challenges.
  • Build and nurture strategic relationships across various functions including software, manufacturing, and program management to synergize efforts towards future innovations.
  • Contribute to a forward‑thinking technical culture by embracing change, sharing ideas, and supporting continuous improvement across end‑of‑line (EOL) and manufacturing software systems.
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional partners in software, manufacturing, and program teams to solve problems, exchange technical information, and support the development of future solutions.
  • Build understanding of key vehicle subsystems and how they interact with end‑of‑line (EOL) software, incorporating this knowledge into clear internal documentation and shared technical references that strengthen generational knowledge within the team.
  • Support global EOL system initiatives by contributing to technical direction, documenting engineering milestones, and maintaining accurate technical plans for assigned work-streams.
  • Ensure alignment across functions by coordinating with Manufacturing, Product Engineering, Software, and plant teams to clarify requirements, identify risks, and support integrated system execution.
  • Represent Manufacturing as a technical contributor, communicating clearly with assembly plants and leadership on system status, issues, and upcoming needs within your scope.
  • Develop technical components of scalable EOL system architectures, participating in design reviews and ensuring solutions meet current requirements while preparing for future enhancements.
  • Execute end‑to‑end engineering tasks for EOL system solutions, including concept development, technical planning, validation, and deployment support into plant operations.
  • Support today’s EOL systems while contributing to next‑generation capabilities, ensuring system stability, continuous improvement, and readiness for future manufacturing needs.

Requirements

  • Hands-on C++ development experience building and modifying production-quality software; ability to implement well-scoped changes with clean code, unit tests, and code reviews.
  • Foundational understanding of vehicle electrical systems and how software interacts with end-of-line processes and plant tooling.
  • Ability to translate requirements into small design updates or tasks, estimate effort, and deliver increments that integrate with existing systems.
  • Experience debugging and resolving defects using logs, debuggers, and structured troubleshooting; comfort reproducing issues and validating fixes.
  • Familiarity with version control and branching workflows (e.g., Git-based), and participation in peer reviews for code and design.
  • Clear written and verbal communication skills; ability to document changes, author runbooks/FAQs, and collaborate with software, product engineering, and plant partners.
  • Learning mindset—demonstrated curiosity, openness to feedback, and willingness to grow toward deeper system understanding and broader ownership over time.
  • Ability to follow structured engineering processes (work tracking, test evidence, acceptance criteria) and maintain accuracy in technical documentation.
  • Bachelor Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
Benefits
  • From day one, we're looking out for your well-being–at work and at home–so you can focus on realizing your ambitions.
