The Ethernet Tech Lead must be able to define communication architecture at both the system and software levels, using SOME/IP as well as other communication technologies such as CAN-over-Ethernet (PSOME/IP, raw PDUs, etc.), DDS, MQTT, and related protocols.

The role requires strong embedded-systems knowledge to understand how these services can be optimized for network throughput and for the ECUs that consume them.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead and support the design, analysis, development and integration of SOME/IP as well as other communication technologies such as CAN-over-Ethernet (PSOME/IP, raw PDUs, etc.), DDS, MQTT, and related protocols
Collaborate with OS, hypervisor, and middleware teams to enable robust inter-domain communication
Optimize communication architecture for latency, throughput, resource usage, and determinism in real-time and virtualized environments (e.g., QNX, Linux, Android GVM)
Debug and troubleshoot ethernet communication related issues across hardware and software layers using tools like JTAG, tracing frameworks, and logic analyzers
Implement safety- and security-aware features impacted by ethernet based communications aligned with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434
Provide technical guidance to specialists (and/or technical references) in their field of expertise
Transfers knowledge internally via trainings and expertise webinars
