Staff System Engineer- Mechatronic Flash Programming

The Programming, EIO/HWIO (Ethernet Input/Output Hardware Input/Output) Systems Engineering Team represents two of the eight Mech Infra Systems teams: the Mech Infra Programming System and the Controller Hardware System (EIO/HWIO); the other six are Diagnostics, Ethernet Communications, Non-Ethernet Communications, Power Management, Safety, and Cybersecurity. The Programming System owns the end-to-end strategy, requirements, flows, test automation, and recovery behavior that enable SDV ECUs to be safely, securely, and repeatably programmed and updated across development, manufacturing, service, and field environments.

The EIO/HWIO System defines and validates controller input/output capabilities—including sensing, actuation, diagnostics, I/O mapping, performance, and voltage-reference monitoring—to ensure controllers and Ethernet I/O devices operate reliably and are diagnosable. Together, these two systems represent complementary areas of Mech Infra SW: Programming manages how software is delivered and updated, while EIO/HWIO enables the controller-level interfaces through which the system interacts with physical devices. Programming also supports any previous electrical architectures such as VIP.
