Senior C++ Embedded Software Engineer - Telematics

Who We Are

We don’t just develop embedded software — we engineer intelligence into products. The Embedded Competence Center at NTT DATA Romania brings together experts in embedded systems, firmware development, and hardware–software integration, delivering robust and high-performance solutions for complex, safety-critical environments. With strong expertise in C/C++, AUTOSAR, real-time operating systems, and communication protocols, we design scalable embedded architectures, integrate software seamlessly with hardware, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Across the industries we support — from Automotive and Industrial Automation to Smart Devices and IoT — we transform reliable embedded technology into a foundation for innovative, dependable products.

You will contribute to the development of a cutting-edge telematics platform for commercial vehicles. As part of cross-functional feature teams, you will work in an Agile environment (SAFe framework), actively supporting the delivery of features within Program Increments (12-week cycles).

This role is ideal for freelancers or independent consultants who are interested in complex automotive embedded systems and enjoy working on high-impact, large-scale development projects.
