Junior/Standard Software Engineer, POWER

Valeo is a tech global company, designing breakthrough solutions to reinvent the mobility. We are an automotive supplier partner to automakers and new mobility actors worldwide. Our vision? Invent a greener and more secured mobility, thanks to solutions focusing on intuitive driving and reducing CO2 emissions. We are leader on our businesses, and recognized as one of the largest global innovative companies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Problem Solving: Utilize AI-assisted and traditional debugging techniques to analyze complex hardware/software issues and drive them to resolution.

  
  
  

• Embedded SW Development: Develop & Test robust, safety-critical Embedded C code for various microcontrollers: In Basic Software (BSW), Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL),  low-level drivers (ADC, PWM, SPI, CAN, LIN), and Product specific Application SW.

  
  
  

• Powertrain Application: Implement software for high-voltage and electromechanical products—including Inverters, DC-DC Converters, Battery Management Systems (BMS), Thermal Management, and Smart Actuators—translating control laws and physical constraints into efficient code.

  
  
  

• AI & Innovation: Actively leverage Generative AI and Agentic AI tools to accelerate development, and optimize workflows, while applying LLM fundamentals to automate routine engineering tasks.

  
  
  

• Standard Compliance: Execute all development activities in strict adherence to automotive standards, including AUTOSAR architecture, ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), and ISO 21434 (Cybersecurity).

  
  
  

• System-Level Contribution:Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and thermal engineers to define system constraints and ensure software optimizes the physics of the powertrain (e.g., cooling strategies, motor torque limits).

  
  
  

• Quality & KPIs: Maintain high standards for code quality (MISRA C compliance), documentation, and testing, ensuring all personal and team Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are met or exceeded.

  
  
  

• Agile Collaboration: Work effectively within an Agile/Scrum framework, participating in daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and reviews to deliver incremental value.

  
  
  

• Cross-Functional Teamwork: Engage smoothly with cross-functional teams—including Requirements, System Engineering, and Testing/Validation—to ensure seamless integration and traceability from customer requirements to final product.

  
  
  

• Reporting: Provide clear, regular status reports to management regarding development progress, risks, and technical challenges.

  
  
  

Candidate Profile:

• Education: B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

  
  
  

• Experience: 0–2 years of experience in embedded software development (internships and academic projects count).

  
  
  

• AI: Excellent Generative AI adoption, Agentic AI experience, and LLM fundamentals.  Machine Learning is a plus

  
  
  

• Electrical Systems: Understanding of Power Electronics (Inverters, DC-DC converters) and Electric Motors. Knowledge of Control Theory: Automatic Control, Control Laws and modeling (Simulink/MATLAB).

  
  
  

• Mechanical Systems: Basic understanding of Mechanics, Electromechanics, and Thermodynamics (heat transfer/cooling systems) is a strong advantage.

  
  
  

• Programming: Strong proficiency in any programming language.

  
  
  

• Microcontrollers (is a plus): Deep understanding of microcontroller architecture (memory map, registers, interrupts, timers).

  
  
  

• Embedded Fundamentals (is a plus): Knowledge of RTOS concepts, Low-level Software, and Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL).

  
  
  

• Automotive Standards (is a plus): Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and methodology) and Functional Safety ISO26262 is a plus.

  
  
  

• High problem solving skills, and debugging.
