Description

Employer: R.H. Sheppard Co., Inc.

Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer


Job Location: 101 Philadelphia Street, Hanover, PA 17331


Job Duties: Develop, integrate, validate, and release embedded software for active steering systems used in commercial vehicle applications. Duties include:

  • Design and develop embedded software components for active steering systems using embedded C and industry-standard development environments.
  • Configure and implement AUTOSAR-based software architecture, interfaces, and communication stacks.
  • Perform model-based software development activities, including modeling, simulation, and auto-code generation using MATLAB/Simulink.
  • Execute software builds, compilation, and integration of software modules into production systems.
  • Conduct unit, integration, and system-level verification activities to support software quality and functionality.
  • Participate in Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, including data analysis, debugging, and issue resolution.
  • Support simulation, bench, and vehicle-level testing to validate feature performance and system functionality.
  • Develop, analyze, and troubleshoot vehicle communication networks and diagnostics, including CAN and SAE J1939 protocols.
  • Utilize Vector tools or equivalent network analysis and debugging tools for software development and validation.
  • Support development, refinement, and traceability of system and software requirements for steering features.
  • Assist in implementation and tuning of driver-assistance functions, including lane keep assist, lane centering, and hands-off detection features.
  • Follow structured software development processes (ASPICE, V-Model) to ensure requirements traceability, configuration management, and process compliance.
  • Support functional safety activities in accordance with ISO 26262 within the embedded software lifecycle.
  • Collaborate with systems engineering, hardware, validation, manufacturing, and customer application teams during product development and launch activities.
  • Participate in customer tuning and vehicle validation activities, including limited on-track development support.


Requirements

Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related Engineering field and three (3) years of experience as an Embedded Software Engineer or related.


The following experience is also required:

  • Experience in embedded systems engineering, automotive electronics, or related control system applications.
  • Experience in embedded software development, integration, and validation across multiple stages of the software development lifecycle.
  • Experience working within structured development processes, including ASPICE, V-Model, or equivalent frameworks.
  • Experience supporting vehicle-level testing, calibration, or customer application activities.
  • Experience developing embedded software using C programming language.
  • Experience with AUTOSAR architecture and configuration tools.
  • Experience with model-based design methodologies using MATLAB/Simulink or equivalent tools.
  • Knowledge of CAN communication protocols, diagnostics, and SAE J1939 standards.
  • Experience with Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), unit, and integration testing methodologies.
  • Knowledge of functional safety concepts in accordance with ISO 26262.
