• ​Develop and integrate features such as:

• Exterior and interior lighting systems (automatic lighting, DRLs)

• Central locking and access (key fob, proximity sensors, immobilizer)

• Power windows, mirrors, and seat control (auto-fold, anti-pinch, memory)

• Windshield wipers and washers (including rain-sensing)

• HVAC system interfaces and control

• Translate system requirements into software and hardware specifications.

• Collaborate with hardware engineers, embedded software developers, and vehicle integration teams to ensure robust and secure system performance.

• Validate Body Control Feature functionality through bench testing, HiL, and in-vehicle evaluations.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory and internal quality standards.

• ​Contribute to diagnostic readiness and OTA update capabilities.

• Stay current with centralized architecture and SDV (software-defined vehicle) innovations.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

• 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development for automotive applications, particularly in body electronics or similar domains.

• Strong programming proficiency in embedded C/C++.

• In-depth understanding of automotive communication protocols, especially CAN, DLIP, and Ethernet.

• Hands-on experience with diagnostic workflows and ECU testing environments.

• Familiarity with functional safety standards like ISO 26262 and secure development practices.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with centralized or software-defined vehicle platforms.

• Exposure to Rust programming for embedded or systems-level applications.

• Experience with in-vehicle testing, automation frameworks, or supplier management.

• Korean language proficiency is a plus for cross-functional collaboration.
