We are looking for a talented Controls Software Architect (m/w/d) to join our team specializing in Engineering for our Traction Department in Nürnberg, Germany. This position offers a hybrid work model, with approximately 60% of the time at the office in Nürnberg and 20% working from home.

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• Design complex embedded software architectures within AUTOSAR and hybrid environments to support advanced control functionalities.
• Configure Operating Systems and the RTE in multi‑core controller architectures to ensure optimal performance and efficient task execution.
• Develop robust memory architectures that enable efficient, reliable, and real‑time execution of embedded control software.
• Analyze system‑level requirements and translate them into clear, testable, and unambiguous software requirements.
• Evaluate system design and behavior using state‑of‑the‑art modeling, analysis, and simulation tools.
• Collaborate closely with hardware architects to co-develop the hardware–software interface and align system‑level and software‑level requirements.
• Design low‑level software architecture, including OS task mapping and memory allocation, and defend architectural choices during peer reviews.
• Investigate and resolve software issues systematically, identifying root causes and developing sustainable, long‑term solutions.
