Software Development Engineer (Multiple Positions) (REF254144Y)

As a Software Development Engineer at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, your main responsibilities will include executing the full project development lifecycle for electrical power steering software. This includes designing and developing software components, conducting customer requirements analysis, developing software requirements, and creating test cases. You will also support integration, troubleshoot software on the bench and in vehicles, and validate software implementation through system tests.

To qualify for the Software Development Engineer position at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, you need a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field, along with three years of relevant experience in automotive embedded software development. Familiarity with C programming, AUTOSAR, and safety standards such as ISO26262 is also essential.

For the Software Development Engineer position at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, proficiency in C programming is crucial. Additionally, having experience with CAN communication and Vector CAN tools will be beneficial for your role in developing and testing automotive software solutions.

Yes, the Software Development Engineer positions at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering offer a hybrid work model, allowing you to work from home two days a week. This flexibility helps maintain a better work-life balance while still being a part of a collaborative team in the office.

As a Software Development Engineer at Robert Bosch Automotive Steering, you will work on various projects focusing on electrical power steering systems. Your work will encompass software development for safety-critical systems, integrating advanced automotive technologies, and ensuring compliance with industry standards.

The software development lifecycle involves stages like requirements gathering, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance. In the role of a Software Development Engineer, you would be responsible for executing this lifecycle by developing high-quality, reliable software that meets customer specifications while following best practices and industry standards.

Troubleshooting in automotive applications involves systematic problem analysis. I would begin by reproducing the issue, reviewing logs, and utilizing diagnostic tools. Understanding the hardware-software interaction is vital, and collaboration with testing departments can offer insights into recurring problems, allowing for efficient resolution.

AUTOSAR architecture is a foundational aspect of automotive software development. In my previous roles, I have used AUTOSAR tools for software design and configuration, which helped optimize component integration and ensured I adhered to industry standards for scalable and maintainable software architecture.

Ensuring compliance with ISO26262 involves rigorous documentation and adherence to processes throughout the development lifecycle. I prioritize risk assessment during the design phase, conduct systematic testing, and maintain traceability of requirements throughout the project to meet safety standards effectively.

I have worked extensively with Agile methodologies, participating in sprints where we emphasize iterative development and regular feedback. My experience includes daily stand-ups, sprint reviews, and retrospectives which facilitate adaptive planning and rapid delivery of software updates, enhancing team collaboration and project visibility.

I commonly use Vector CAN tools, such as CANalyzer or CANoe, for monitoring and analyzing CAN communication. These tools provide a comprehensive view of message flow and help in testing and validating software in real-time, making them invaluable in ensuring reliable vehicle communication.

Performing customer requirements analysis starts with gathering input through meetings and discussions to understand their needs thoroughly. I then document these requirements, align them with technical capabilities, and ensure that they are measurable and testable, which helps in developing software that truly meets customer expectations.

In one project, unforeseen technical challenges arose that delayed our timeline. I initiated an assessment to identify the root cause and worked closely with my team to adjust our design and implement interim solutions. Open communication with stakeholders was key in managing expectations and ultimately delivering a successful product.

In a hybrid work environment, I focus on enhancing communication through tools like video conferencing and project management software. Regular check-ins, sharing updates via collaborative platforms, and planning in-person meetings when necessary help ensure cohesive teamwork despite physical distances.

What excites me most about working in automotive software development is the opportunity to innovate and develop technologies that improve vehicle safety and efficiency. Being a part of a rapidly evolving industry means I can contribute to solutions that have a tangible impact on everyday lives.
