We are focused on our clients’ activities and take responsibility for carrying them out on their behalf.
We are currently hiring a Expert Embedded Developer to join our I&E HUB in Lisbon.
Who are we?
At the Innovation & Engineering Hub, we develop bold, market-ready solutions that support Volkswagen Group and its leading brands. Together with TRATON Group’s Global R&D — home to brands like Scania, MAN, International, and Volkswagen Caminhões e Ônibus — we’re building the future of intelligent and sustainable transport. Global R&D focuses on:
- Alternative Drive Systems
- Digitalization
- Automated Driving
- Road Safety
We’re not just manufacturing vehicles — we’re engineering the future of mobility.
What we do in our team?
Our team is responsible for developing and maintaining the CM4 Application Platform, a brand-agnostic solution that enables unified communication and connectivity across all TRATON brands. We ensure that vehicles can reliably interact with backend systems and digital services, regardless of brand.
We work with an agile, product-oriented mindset, owning the platform end-to-end and driving its evolution to meet future needs. Our work spans multiple domains, including connectivity, hardware integration, security, and diagnostics, while ensuring scalability and high availability for millions of connected vehicles worldwide.
What will your responsibilities be?
• Design, develop, and maintain Adaptive AUTOSAR applications for automotive platforms running QNX;
• Create, test, and publish end-to-end vehicle-integrated solutions and internal tools linked to cloud infrastructure;
• Implement and maintain functionality for trucks using agile methodologies, owning key parts of the technical roadmap;
• Build products, prototypes, and MVPs for near-vehicle features;
• Validate solutions using hardware setups with real truck components to ensure compatibility with embedded systems;
• Write test programs and scripts to verify correct behavior in QNX-based devices, including mocking environments;
• Develop testing tools in Python and C++ for software and HIL testing;
• Advise teams on embedded development in an automotive IoT environment, improving services, tooling, and processes;
• Collaborate with electrical engineers to resolve issues and define specifications for next-generation ECUs;
• Act as a bridge between electrical engineering, IT technology, and end-users, proactively solving problems;
• Continuously learn and apply innovative solutions to complex challenges.
What requirements are we looking for?
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field or comparable job expertise;

• Advanced understanding of secure communication mechanisms and system-level security;
• Ability to debug end-to-end system issues across multiple technologies by coordinating the right people and tools;
• Lead root-cause analysis of highly complex, multi-domain issues and define systemic improvements;
• Anticipate and mitigate architectural risks before implementation;
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and integration of cloud services (e.g., AWS) for building and testing embedded software;
• Proficiency in Python for rapid prototyping, tooling, and test automation.
• Deep familiarity with UNIX/QNX system configuration, networking, user and rights management, and system services;
• Own and contribute to the deployment of key platform features across all TRATON brands;
