In terms of the skills we need this person to possess: 

Key Responsibilities Domain Expertise – Combustion Engines & Fuel Injection Systems

• Apply deep knowledge of gasoline, diesel, GDI, and CRDi engine operation.
• Develop and optimize fuel injection strategies (sequential, direct, common rail).
• Work with OEM fuel injection controllers from Bosch, Delphi, Continental, Denso.
• Understand and contribute to both controller hardware and software architectures (e.g., AUTOSAR).
• Integrate and debug automotive communication protocols: CAN, LIN, FlexRay, SENT, Ethernet.
• Implement and tune control algorithms including:
  • Injection strategies, ignition timing, cold-start logic, and fuel dose adaptation.
  • OBD strategies, diagnostics monitoring, and closed-loop lambda control.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards such as:
  • OBD-II / EOBD, ISO 26262 (functional safety), AUTOSAR, and UDS diagnostics.

Software Development

• Develop embedded software in C/C++ for real-time automotive systems.
• Work with RTOS platforms including OSEK, FreeRTOS, and AUTOSAR OS.
• Utilize AUTOSAR Classic platform for configuration and integration of software modules.
• Use development tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, ETAS INCA, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, TRACE32.
• Integrate version control and CI/CD tools (e.g., Git, Jenkins) into the development pipeline.
• Follow V-model and ASPICE-compliant development practices.

Analytical & Calibration Skills

• Interpret and fine-tune engine control data including fuel and ignition maps, torque curves, and AFR.
• Perform ECU calibration and optimization using INCA and similar tools.
• Conduct hardware- and software-level debugging.
• Analyze OBD and MIL error symptoms to identify root causes and system-level interactions.

Collaboration & Project Execution

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including mechanics, test engineers, and software/hardware teams.
• Document algorithms and processes clearly for OEM and Tier 1 suppliers.
• Support system validation, change management, and customer communication.
• Experience in ECU reverse engineering, including work with .bin files and tools like WinOLS, is a plus.
• Familiarity with hybrid systems, e-fuels, start-stop systems, and cylinder deactivation technologies.

This would be a hybrid position in Poland so you need full eligibility to work in the Country.

Apply this sounds like something you’d be a good fit for!
