Senior Embedded Software Engineer

The Company:

Faraday Future (FF) is a California-based mobility company, leveraging the latest technologies and world’s best talent to realize exciting new possibilities in mobility. We’re producing user-centric, technology-first vehicles to establish new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction. We’re not just seeking to change how our cars work – we’re seeking to change the way we drive. At FF, we’re creating something new, something connected, and something with a true global impact.

Your Role:

We are looking for an experienced Senior Embedded Software Engineer to lead the porting of an existing automotive-grade software system from an NXP MCU platform to a new MCU family from a different semiconductor vendor. The existing system includes RTOS, MCAL drivers, diagnostic protocol stacks, and complex task scheduling across dozens of modules.

The successful candidate will be responsible for working closely with hardware team to bring up the new MCU, adapting the low-level drivers, ensuring compliance with automotive communication standards, and validating system stability and performance on the new hardware.

Responsibilities:

• MCU Porting & Platform Bring-up
  • Port an existing embedded software stack (RTOS + MCAL + middleware) from NXP MCU to a new MCU platform.
  • Bring up core peripherals on the new MCU (CAN, GPIO, UART, SPI, timers, interrupts, etc.).
  • Develop or adapt board support packages and hardware abstraction layers.
• RTOS & Middleware Integration
  • Integrate and configure an automotive-grade RTOS on the new MCU.
  • Ensure correct task scheduling, resource management, and performance under real-time constraints.
• Automotive Communication & Diagnostics
  • Adapt and validate CAN stack and UDS protocol (ISO 14229) support on the new MCU.
  • Ensure correct handling of DTCs, DIDs, and OTA commands.
  • Maintain compliance with automotive standards (ISO 11898, AUTOSAR MCAL if applicable).
• System Interface Development
  • Implement and test communication interfaces with an external high-end CPU via GPIO, UART, and SPI.
  • Support CPU power control, suspend/resume, and status reporting.
• Testing & Validation
  • Develop test cases for regression and validation on the new platform.
  • Debug and resolve integration issues at hardware/software boundaries.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in embedded software development on MCUs.
• Hands-on experience with MCAL driver development/porting and low-level peripheral bring-up.
• Experience with CAN bus communication and diagnostics protocols (UDS, ISO 14229).
• Solid understanding of embedded C/C++, linker scripts, memory management, and interrupt handling.
• Strong background in RTOS-based systems (e.g., FreeRTOS, AUTOSAR OS, OSEK, etc.).
• Familiarity with automotive-grade development practices (MISRA C, ISO 26262 awareness, version control, unit testing).
• Practical experience using multimeter, oscilloscope, and JTAG/debuggers for hardware bring-up, measurement, and troubleshooting.
• Great team player, dedicated to the company, willing to take on challenging tasks.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Background in AUTOSAR Classic stack configuration and porting
• Prior experience with NXP MCUs and at least one other major automotive MCU vendor (e.g., Renesas, Infineon, STMicroelectronics, TI).
• Experience with any tools from Vector.

Annual Salary Range:

($110,000 - $130,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

 Perks + Benefits

• Healthcare + dental + vision benefits (Free for you/discounted for family)
• 401(k) options
• Casual dress code + relaxed work environment
