Req ID 90430 | Guangzhou, China, ZF (Guangzhou) Technologies Co., Ltd. About the Team We are looking for a new colleague in R&D Center at our location in Guangzhou. What you can look forward to as a Basic Software Developer: Develop and debug low-level drivers for system ICs, including Gate Drivers (SPI/PWM), SBC/PMICs, and CAN/CAN FD transceivers. Design custom CDD modules for real-time motor control (e.g., resolver decoding, fast current sampling) leveraging MCU peripherals such as GTM, DSADC, DMA, and Watchdog.

Configure and maintain build environments, Linker scripts, and compilation toolchains (e.g., Tasking or HighTec) for multi-core TC3xx platforms. Perform static code analysis (MISRA compliance) and code optimization for register setup, interrupt execution timing, and multi-core memory mapping by analyzing hardware schematics. Implement driver-level functional safety (ISO 26262) and basic cybersecurity mechanisms (e.g., SecOC, Secure Boot, HSM driver interaction, and hardware diagnostics).

Perform joint hardware-software co-debugging using Lauterbach debuggers, oscilloscopes, Vector CANoe, and logic analyzers, while maintaining detailed software design documents (SWDD) and ASPICE records. Your Profile as a Basic Software Developer: Master of Bachelor degree in engineering, e.g. specializing in electrical engineering, software engineering or automotive engineering Proficient in C/C++ programming for low-level embedded systems (Infineon TriCore, ARM Cortex-M) with strong knowledge of MISRA rules and static code analysis.

Extensive hands-on experience in low-level drivers (MCAL/BSW) and CDD development on Infineon AURIX TC3xx series (e.g., TC38x, TC39x), with the ability to read and analyze hardware schematics. Deep expertise in configuring key automotive peripherals and IC interfaces, including GTM, DSADC/ADC, DMA, Watchdog, Gate Drivers (SPI/PWM), CAN/CAN FD transceivers, and SBC/PMICs. Familiarity with AUTOSAR layered architecture, UDS/OBD diagnostic standards, and hands-on experience integrating CDD/MCAL modules into basic software.

Basic understanding of driver-level cybersecurity mechanisms (Secure Boot, SecOC) and driver interaction with Hardware Security Modules (HSM). Solid understanding of real-time control execution, interrupt priority handling, register-level peripheral setup, and multi-core memory mapping. Why you should choose ZF in Guangzhou?
