This is a W2 contract role with a stated duration of 3+ months, located onsite in Grimes, Iowa (Des Moines metro area).
The posting is sparse on explicit requirements — MATLAB/Simulink and Continental's MBDS (Model-Based Development System) are the only named tools. MBDS is a proprietary Continental internal toolchain and is not a standalone, independently-marketable skill, so it is not emitted as a separate skill.
The domain is on-highway vehicle embedded software (automotive/commercial vehicle), which provides useful context but is not a separately named technology skill.
No years of experience, degree requirement, or compensation range is stated.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): embedded software development.
Posting is for a contract engagement — the market benchmarks below price full-time roles, so read the comp comparison with that in mind.
