Sr. Embedded SW developer ORC2-EDC3

Role overview

Sr. Embedded SW developer ORC2-EDC3 at Bosch Global Software Technologies

Low-Level Driver and HAL Implementation: Implement and maintain hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and low-level drivers, directly interacting with SoC registers and ensuring precise hardware control.

Responsibilities

• Safety-Critical Firmware Development: Design, develop, and validate safety-critical firmware for the Cortex-R5 MCU cores in accordance with ISO 26262 standards, including driver development for peripherals like I2C, SPI, and GPIO.
• SoC Safety Mechanisms : Configure and utilize the inherent safety features of the TI TDA4Vx SoC, such as lock-step cores, Memory Protection Units (MPUs), and error signaling modules (ESM).
• System Bring-Up and Bootloader: Take a lead role in board bring-up, bootloader development (e.g., SBL), and configuring the system boot flow to establish a secure and safe operational environment.
• Inter-Processor Communication (IPC): Architect and implement robust, high-performance IPC mechanisms for communication between the safety domain (R5/RTOS) and the application domain (A72/QNX), ensuring freedom from interference.
• RTOS & Bare-Metal Development: Develop and optimize real-time applications on safety RTOS (ETAS RTA-OS, FreeRTOS) or bare-metal environments, focusing on interrupt handling, DMA, task scheduling, and memory management for the R5 cores.
• Debugging and System Analysis : Perform deep-dive debugging of complex, system-level issues at the hardware/software interface using JTAG debuggers (Lauterbach Trace32), oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Collaboration and Documentation : Work closely with hardware engineers to review schematics, define hardware requirements, and produce detailed technical documentation for firmware design and validation Expected skill set: * Technical Expertise : 8-12 years in embedded software development, with a strong focus on C programming for microcontrollers.
• Proven experience in developing firmware for safety-critical systems compliant with standards like ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
• Hands-on experience with the TI TDA4Vx/Jacinto 7 family, including the use of TI SDKs (Processor SDK, MCU+ SDK).
• Deep expertise in developing for ARM Cortex-R5 or similar safety-oriented MCUs, including bare-metal programming.
• Experience configuring and validating hardware safety mechanisms (MPU, ECC, lock-step).
• Proficiency with a safety-certified real-time operating system (e.g., ETAS RTA-OS, FreeRTOS).
• Familiarity with MISRA C/C++ guidelines and using static analysis tools (e.g., Polyspace, Klocwork) Knowledge of secure boot processes, cryptographic accelerators, and hardware security modules (HSMs).
• Experience with performance optimization, cache coherency, and multicore system tuning.
• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet.
• Experience with test automation, particularly using the Robot Framework.
• Prior experience on projects directly related to our platform and toolchain environment.
• Proficiency in low-level debugging using JTAG/SWD debuggers (e.g., Lauterbach Trace32, TI XDS probes).
• Experience with modern development tools including Git, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact management (Artifactory).
• B.
• E/ B.
• Tech E&C, EEE or any equivalent 8 - 12 years
