ALSO - Staff Software Engineer, Emerging Markets

• 1. Software Program Coordination • Coordinate delivery of the software platform across internal teams and external development partners. • Managing the software development roadmap • Aligning software milestones with vehicle development programs • Coordinating firmware, cloud, and application development • Managing technical dependencies between teams • Supporting system integration and release planning • This aspect of the role ensures that multiple software workstreams converge into a production-ready system. • 2. Software Architecture and Technical Ownership • Own and define the overall software architecture for the platform, spanning vehicle firmware, connectivity, and cloud integration. • Defining the end-to-end software architecture • Designing key elements of the vehicle firmware stack • Establishing software interfaces between vehicle systems, cloud services, and applications • Reviewing and contributing to embedded and systems-level code • Leading architectural decisions for scalability, reliability, and security • Guiding development of critical firmware components • You will remain hands-on with technical design and system integration, particularly for the vehicle control and connectivity layers. • 3. Vehicle Embedded Systems Development • Lead development of the vehicle embedded software stack, including: • Vehicle Control Module (VCM) firmware • Battery Management System (BMS) firmware • Power management and energy optimisation • Diagnostics and telemetry systems • Sensor and actuator integration • Vehicle networking (e.g. CAN) • Work closely with hardware engineers to ensure tight hardware–software co-design. • 4. Connected Vehicle and IoT Platform • Define and implement the vehicle connectivity architecture, including: • Secure vehicle-to-cloud communication • Telemetry and diagnostics pipelines • Remote vehicle monitoring and control • Fleet and asset management integration • Over-the-air software updates • Charging ecosystem integration • Ensure the connected platform is secure, scalable, and reliable. • 5. Software Engineering Leadership • Establish engineering standards across the platform including: • Coding standards and best practices • Development workflows • Continuous integration and testing pipelines • Simulation and validation environments • Software quality and release processes • Provide hands-on technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and partners. • 6. External Partner and Supplier Integration • Work closely with external engineering partners responsible for parts of the software stack. • Defining technical interfaces and integration requirements • Reviewing partner architecture and code deliverables • Ensuring adherence to engineering standards and security practices • Integrating externally developed modules into the platform • Supporting joint debugging and system integration • 7. AI-Augmented Engineering • Drive adoption of AI-assisted software development tools across the engineering ecosystem. • Use cases include: • AI-assisted code generation • Automated test creation • Static analysis and validation • Simulation-driven verification • AI-assisted debugging and optimisation • The objective is to maximize engineering productivity while maintaining high-quality production software.
