About the Role

We are looking for a Senior Network & Communication Engineer to lead the design and optimization of communication systems across our robotics platform. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring reliable, secure, and high-performance communication between ECUs, working closely with cross-functional teams across systems, hardware, and software engineering.

You will play a critical role in defining communication architectures and supporting system integration throughout the development lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and optimize in-system communication networks (e.g., CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) for robust ECU communication.
  • Define and review communication architectures, signal mappings, and data flows based on hardware and software requirements.
  • Collaborate with hardware, software, and EE architecture teams to ensure seamless integration and interface alignment.
  • Drive implementation of secure communication protocols (e.g., SecOC, End-to-End protection) in collaboration with cybersecurity teams.
  • Ensure communication systems meet performance, scalability, cost, and reliability targets.
  • Validate compliance with relevant standards and best practices (e.g., AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 where applicable).
  • Support system integration and testing teams in troubleshooting and resolving communication issues.
  • Contribute to system-level architecture decisions and continuous improvement of communication strategies.

To Join Our Team, You Should Be Excited To

  • Communication architectures for advanced robotics systems

  • Strong expertise in automotive or robotics communication protocols (CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Ethernet)
  • Experience with AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive) is highly desirable
  • Solid understanding of system architecture, requirements engineering, and interface management
  • Familiarity with development lifecycles (e.g., V-model, ASPICE)
  • Experience with safety-critical systems and standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262) is a plus
  • Hands-on experience with debugging tools (e.g., CANoe, CANalyzer, Wireshark) is preferred
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
  • Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and international teams.

Benefits and Perks

  • Competitive salary and benefits package
  • A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
