ElDorado National California Inc
Engineer, Software Architecture
ElDorado National California Inc, Riverside, California, United States, 92504
Job Summary
The Engineer is responsible for the design, development, testing, and troubleshooting of the vehicle systems and applications, particularly in the area of Software Architecture development for Electric Vehicles (EVs). This role requires collaboration with various teams, including international teams, to ensure that software and systems operate efficiently, reliably, and securely. In addition, the engineer will mentor and support junior developers while working closely with cross‑functional teams and external partners to drive the development and implementation of new software solutions. Maintaining clean, well‑documented code while adhering to best practices in software quality, security, and performance is essential.
Responsibilities
Define and maintain the end‑to‑end software architecture for EV and Connected Vehicle platforms, ensuring scalability and long‑term maintainability.
Develop architecture‑level requirements, including system decomposition, interface definitions (ex. CAN database file), and communication structures.
Establish and govern software design standards and patterns that ensure consistent quality and efficient collaboration across teams.
Leverage deep knowledge of automotive standards such as AUTOSAR, while researching and developing the most suitable architecture approach for ENC without being constrained by existing frameworks.
Evaluate and select technology stacks, frameworks, and tools that support robust embedded, edge, and cloud software development.
Architect integrations for TCUs, gateways, and connectivity modules, defining key communication and diagnostic interfaces.
Collaborate with backend/cloud teams to design secure and efficient data pipelines for telemetry, diagnostics, OTA, and fleet management.
Troubleshoot software‑related issues in components, communication, and vehicle systems.
Resolve complex technical challenges in component development, system integration, and deployment.
Improve software engineering processes through standardized procedures, documentation and related tools.
Proactively mitigate project delays by providing short‑term solutions for design/implementation issues.
Support system configuration, including installation, training, and setup for end‑users or internal stakeholders.
Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (e.g., Sales, Manufacturing, Service) to design, implement, and troubleshoot new technologies/features.
Participate in business travel for engineering purposes, including international trips (e.g., to China) as needed.
Required Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities Technical Knowledge & Documentation
Deep understanding of vehicle software architecture, connected vehicle ecosystems, and domain‑specific design principles.
Ability to translate vehicle‑level and system‑level requirements into architectural specifications, interfaces, and design constraints.
Proficiency in developing architecture documentation such as High‑Level Designs, SRS, interface definitions, UML/SysML models, and platform design guidelines.
Software Design & Implementation
Extensive knowledge of embedded and connected vehicle software design, including modularization, layering, communication patterns, and system partitioning.
Experience designing systems that comply with automotive standards (e.g., AUTOSAR, MISRA, MAAB), while selecting optimal approaches aligned with product strategy.
Proficiency with architectural and development toolchains (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, GitHub, modeling tools, CI/CD pipelines).
Broad understanding of full‑stack architectures, enabling effective collaboration with front‑end, backend, cloud, and embedded teams.
Software Problem‑Solving Skills
Strong capability for root cause analysis across vehicle networks, embedded components, cloud interfaces, and telematics systems.
Advanced debugging and troubleshooting skills for embedded software, communication interfaces, and distributed systems.
Ability to analyze performance, timing, resource usage, and system bottlenecks, and to guide teams toward optimized and scalable software solutions.
Quality & Safety Compliance
Strict adherence to software safety standards and regulations (e.g., ISO26262).
Precision‑focused approach to software validation.
Implementation of quality control measures for software systems.
Project Execution
Ability to manage multiple software design projects.
On‑time delivery of software system solutions.
Effective communication with cross‑functional engineering teams.
Hands‑on experience in software validation, including testing with hardware.
Knowledge of the unit testing and mitigation techniques.
Prototyping and validation of software systems.
Optimization of software designs for cost/performance.
Implementation of process improvements in software development.
Staying current with software engineering advancements.
Education, Experience, and/or Required Licenses Education
Bachelor’s degree in software engineering or a related field (required). Equivalent education or experience may be considered.
Preferred: Advanced degree (Master’s/PhD) or certification in Software Engineering or related technologies.
Experience
5+ years of experience in software engineering or software architecture, preferably within the EV or automotive domain.
3+ years of experience in designing or guiding development using tools such as Simulink, C/C++, Python, React, or equivalent modern software stacks.
3+ years of experience with vehicle communication protocols (e.g., CAN, J1939, UDS) and related analysis tools, including integration into architectural designs.
Hands‑on or oversight experience in connected vehicle software, including telematics systems, cloud/edge interfaces, and front‑/back‑end integrations.
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot, optimize, and architect solutions for complex distributed vehicle software systems.
Experience working within cross‑functional development environments and using project management and documentation tools (e.g., JIRA, Confluence) to drive architecture alignment.
