About the role
Responsibilities:
- Be responsible for multiple software development projects simultaneously.
- The projects will typically be part of a product line that the lead engineer is driving.
- Examples of product lines are traction controllers, fuel injection controllers, generator set controllers, etc.
- Ensure timely and high-quality software delivery, in coordination with system engineers and electronic engineers who are responsible for their respective domains of product development.
- Act as a single point of contact for internal and external customers.
- Typically, the internal customers of the software team would be the system engineering team, who are product owners.
- The candidate will occasionally also be required to represent SEDEMAC to external customers, who are usually OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
- De-risk crucial showstoppers in the project, involving the development of complex logics and resolving complex defects (RCAs).
- This also includes the candidate participating in post-production failures of the product.
- Actively participate in improving the software development process, workflows, and technologies used at SEDEMAC and ensure compliance with software development standards as relevant to the product line that the lead engineer is driving.
- Perform code reviews; have a keen eye for suspecting and spotting potential errors.
- Participate in hands-on software development work (mostly in C and C++, and occasionally in Python, MATLAB/Simulink).
- It is important to highlight that although the Lead Engineer will typically have a few people reporting to him/her, the role is very much hands-on.
- Ensure thorough, high-quality documentation of the software artefacts developed, and participate in the development of white papers to improve the state of the software team's knowledge repository.
