We are seeking a Staff Embedded Software Engineer to lead the design and development of high-performance embedded systems. This role requires deep expertise in firmware, real-time operating systems, and hardware-software integration. The ideal candidate will provide technical leadership, drive architecture decisions, and collaborate cross-functionally to deliver scalable and reliable products.

• →Research, design, develop, and update software for FF’s autonomous-driving and intelligent-cockpit platforms.
• →Analyze user and system requirements; design and implement software components and services; validate and optimize performance; coordinate integration with hardware and cross-functional teams; and prepare technical documentation and status reports. Requirements analysis & specification (15%).
• →Analyze user needs and software requirements for ADAS and intelligent-cockpit features; define functional interfaces, performance targets, and constraints for embedded deployment on Linux/automotive OS.
• →Prepare and maintain technical specifications and status reports. Software design & development (30%). Design, develop, and modify software systems and platform services, including the ADAS sensor HAL (e.g., camera, LiDAR) and middleware components (e.g., ROS 2), on Qualcomm/NVIDIAbased platforms (e.g., Drive OS) and Linux; apply scientific analysis and engineering techniques to predict and measure outcomes.
• →Maintenance & optimization (15%). Modify existing software to correct defects, adapt to new hardware/interfaces, upgrade components, and improve performance, safety, and security; determine and maintain system performance standards and runtime optimization (latency, memory, throughput). Testing & validation (10%).
• →Develop or direct test strategies and procedures (unit/integration/HIL), create automation where feasible, validate software behavior against requirements, and ensure systems operate in conformance with specifications.
• →Coordinate software installation and releases to target vehicle platforms. Cross-functional collaboration (10%). Confer with systems analysts, hardware/firmware engineers, and other stakeholders to design interfaces, resolve limitations, integrate hardware and software, and plan new installations or modifications.
• →Consult with partner teams on project status and technical issues. AI/algorithm enablement (embedded focus) (10%).
• →Apply emerging AI/ML technologies where appropriate to enhance ADAS and cockpit capabilities, emphasizing embedded deployment and runtime efficiency consistent with platform constraints (e.g., sensor fusion, perception pipelines).
• →Documentation & configuration (5%). Prepare project documentation (design docs, test results, release notes) and maintain code repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and configuration management in alignment with company standards. Mentoring/coordination (5%)

• Master’s degree (or foreign equivalent) in electrical engineering, optical science & engineering, computer science, or a closely related field
• minimum of 5 years of experience in software engineering, software development, or a closely related field
