Join a team tackling complex challenges between embedded systems and cloud services. This is a collaborative, impact-driven environment perfect for engineers passionate about blending cloud development with vehicle reverse engineering.

You'll architect cloud features interacting directly with vehicle control modules, performing firmware binary processing and checksum validations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Reverse engineer ECU/TCU/PCM firmware binaries, manually analyzing hex data and implementing checksums (CRC).
  • Master communication protocols including UDS (ISO 14229), J1939, and OEM-specific standards.
  • Analyze CAN bus traffic with tools like Vehicle Spy, PCAN, or CANalyzer.
  • Collaborate on firmware with embedded developers, supporting secure bootloader development.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in automotive software engineering, focusing on aftermarket or performance tuning.
  • Hands-on experience with Ford, GM, Stellantis, Polaris diagnostic protocols.
  • Deep knowledge of CAN bus, UDS, J1939, OBD-II, and hardware interfaces (PCAN, Kvaser, Intrepid).
  • Proficient with ECU firmware formats and checksum calculations; experienced with disassemblers like OlyDBG, Ida Pro.
  • Based in the U.S. for real-time collaboration.
  • Bachelor's degree in CS, Electrical Engineering or equivalent professional experience.
