The Senior Manager for Firmware Development will lead a team of engineers developing embedded firmware for automotive Ethernet switch products. The role requires deep technical expertise in RTOS-based firmware, Ethernet switch drivers, security (MACsec), and precise time synchronization (PTP). The candidate will oversee project execution, drive architectural decisions, and ensure high-quality firmware delivery for next-generation automotive networking solutions.

What You Can Expect

• Lead the firmware development team (8 to 10 people) in designing and implementing embedded software for automotive Ethernet switches.

• Design and develop firmware solutions, including Ethernet switch drivers, RTOS integration, MACsec security features, and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) implementations.
• Define and enforce best practices in firmware design, coding, and testing to ensure robustness and compliance with automotive safety and security standards (ISO 26262, AUTOSAR).
• Collaborate with hardware, software, project, and Architecture teams to ensure seamless integration of firmware with silicon and networking stacks.
• Work closely with automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to define and meet product requirements.
• Drive innovation and optimization in networking performance, security, and time synchronization capabilities.
• Ensure compliance with functional safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO/SAE 21434, ASPICE, MISRA-C, etc).
• Mentor and develop engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• Experience: 10+ years in embedded firmware development, with at least 5 years in a leadership role.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for embedded systems development.
• Extensive experience with automotive RTOS (e.g. AutoSAR OS, SafeRTOS, QNX, Zephyr, VxWorks, Linux).
• Deep knowledge of Ethernet switch architecture and driver development.
• Deep knowledge of embedded ARM firmware and driver development.
• Expertise in MACsec (IEEE 802.1AE) security implementation for secure automotive communication.
• Background in PTP (IEEE 1588) and TSN (Time-Sensitive Networking) for precise time synchronization is a plus.
• Experience with automotive networking protocols (AVB, SOME/IP, CAN, LIN, etc.).
• Familiarity with hardware/software co-design and debugging tools (JTAG, oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers).
• Hands on ASPICE V-model SYS and SWE development practices (requirements management, UML design tools, static code analysis tools)
• Knowledge of AUTOSAR is a plus.
