Senior Model Based Developer (gn) Functional Engineer

Salary: 46.000 - 86.000 € per year

Requirements:

Degree in electrical engineering, mechatronics, computer science, automotive engineering or a comparable technical discipline.

Strong experience in model-based software development for embedded automotive functions using MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow.

Practical understanding of ASPICE SWE.1 to SWE.6 and traceable engineering artifacts.

Hands-on experience with MiL and SiL verification; HiL exposure is important to understand validation feedback and integration constraints.

Good understanding of software development, integration, verification and validation across the automotive V-cycle.

Experience with automotive function development, feature updates, defect fixing and integration support in complex E/E or embedded software environments.

Familiarity with AUTOSAR concepts, software interfaces, code generation, static analysis and model/code quality guidelines such as MAAB or MISRA.

Independent working style, ownership mindset, structured analysis, strong communication skills and fluent English; German is beneficial.

Experience in commercial vehicle, chassis, body, powertrain, BMS, ADAS or comparable E/E domains.

Experience with TargetLink, Embedded Coder, Polyspace, TPT, Tessy, CANoe, dSPACE, Vector tools, DaVinci, Rhapsody, DOORS, Polarion, HP ALM, Jira or comparable toolchains.

Knowledge of functional safety and cybersecurity interfaces, including ISO 26262-related development constraints.

Experience with release support, defect lifecycle management, traceability reporting and technical documentation such as SWAD, MRS, test design and test reports.

Responsibilities:

Own assigned functions and work packages end to end, from requirement analysis to implementation, verification support, integration readiness and defect resolution.

Analyze customer, system and software requirements and derive functional concepts, low-level requirements, model design inputs and acceptance criteria.

Develop and maintain MATLAB, Simulink and Stateflow models for automotive application software functions.

Create design and implementation artifacts aligned with SWE.1 to SWE.6, including traceability between requirements, models, tests and defects.

Support architecture alignment, interface clarification, AUTOSAR integration topics and SWC-level design decisions.

Prepare and support model-level verification, including static checks, model reviews, MiL and SiL testing and coverage evidence where applicable.

Link development, integration, verification and validation feedback to ensure findings are technically resolved and traceable.

Collaborate with validation engineers, technical leads, project management and stakeholders during daily alignment, defect reviews, design reviews and release planning.
