What this job asks for AI summary
An embedded software engineering role focused on developing and maintaining software for electronic control units used in commercial vehicle applications. Day-to-day work spans the full development lifecycle — designing control algorithms in MATLAB/Simulink, debugging defects, supporting verification and validation, and integrating software with hardware. Suits engineers with hands-on embedded programming experience and familiarity with vehicle communication protocols such as CAN or J1939.

Why we read it this way (6)
No work location or metro area is specified in the posting; CBSA fields are left blank. The role is at ALTEN Technology USA, a national engineering services firm, so the position could be placed at any of their US client sites.
CAN is listed as the primary vehicle communication protocol in the Required Qualifications section alongside J1939 and 'similar embedded communication networks'; J1939, ISOBUS, and LIN appear again under Preferred Technical Skills. All are captured as alternatives on a single skill since they serve the same requirement.
Embedded C and C++ appear only under the 'Preferred Technical Skills' section (framed as 'candidates with experience in the following areas are encouraged to apply'), so they are treated as preferred despite being foundational to embedded work.
Simulink Stateflow is listed under Preferred Qualifications; HIL/SIL testing, CI/CD, and version control appear under Desired Qualifications — all treated as preferred.
AUTOSAR, Visual Studio, Agile/Scrum, hardware debugging tools, and TDD all appear exclusively in the 'Preferred Technical Skills' section and are treated as preferred.
The Bachelor's degree requirement is a hard gate — the JD lists a specific degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related discipline under Required Qualifications with no 'or equivalent experience' escape clause.
