Implement and maintain communication protocols (SCATS, NEMA TS2, ITS standards, CAN, Ethernet) for roadside devices and central system integration.

Develop web-based interfaces for local and remote-control functionality.

Ensure robust secure communications, OTA firmware updates, and diagnostics for long-term field deployments.

Participate in safety case documentation: hazard analysis, FMEA/FMELA, traceability, and compliance with certification bodies.

Mentor junior software engineers and perform peer reviews of designs and code.

Produce design, architecture, verification, validation and software release documentation.

What we look for: Essential: Proven experience (10 years+) developing embedded software for SIL2 (or higher) safety-critical systems, preferably in transportation, rail, or industrial control.

Strong C programming skills for MCUs and real-time operating systems, with demonstrable ability implementing algorithms and debugging hardware/ software interactions using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and bus analysers.

Deep understanding of digital electronics and I/O design, including watchdogs, fail-safe states, redundancy, and EMC considerations.

Familiarity with protocols and standards in the traffic and transport domain (SCATS, NEMA TS2, ITS, CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, RS-485).

Hands-on experience with real-time simulation, and fault injection for validation of safety systems.

Contribution to safety case documentation and engagement with external certification authorities/auditors.

Demonstrated ability to integrate embedded Linux (desirable) for communications/ UI while keeping safety functions isolated on RT cores/ MCUs.

Desirable: Experience with traffic control algorithms, conflict detection, phase timing, and intergreen intervals.

Experience in secure boot, OTA update frameworks (RAUC/OSTree), and cybersecurity for embedded systems.

Exposure to Yocto/Buildroot, RTOS (Micrium, Free RTOS), or dual-core MCU + Linux So C designs.

Prior work in roadside, rail, transport systems or medical fields with harsh environment constraints.
