Job Title : Embedded Software Engineer – AUTOSAR / C / C++

Location :Dallas, TX
Duration : 24 Months (Long-term Contract)

Start : ASAP

Role Overview

Caterpillar is seeking anEmbedded Software Engineer with strong hands-on experience inAUTOSAR-based C/C++ development to support embedded control software foroff-highway machines, powertrain systems, and electrification platforms.

This role focuses onproduction-quality embedded software development, AUTOSAR integration, and system-level testing in a collaborative engineering environment.
MATLAB/Simulink experience is a plus; deep expertise is not required—working knowledge is sufficient.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and maintainembedded C/C++ software for real-time control systems usingAUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive) architecture
• Support integration ofAUTOSAR Application and BSW layers, including communication stacks such asCAN, J1939, and LIN
• Work withMATLAB/Simulink and Stateflow models for understanding and integrating model-based control algorithms (expert-level modeling not required)
• Participate inMIL, SIL, and HIL testing activities in coordination with controls, systems, and validation teams
• Performsoftware debugging, integration, and root cause analysis using debuggers, CAN tools, and bench/HIL setups
• Ensure compliance withsoftware requirements, coding standards, and quality processes
• Collaborate cross-functionally withsystems, controls, validation, and hardware engineering teams
• Participate incode reviews, design reviews, and technical documentation

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree inComputer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
• 2+ years of hands-onembedded software development experience usingC/C++
• Practical experience withAUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive)
• Working knowledge of MATLAB/Simulink (model-based design exposure is sufficient)
• Experience withreal-time embedded systems, RTOS, or embedded Linux
• Knowledge ofCAN, J1939, and automotive/off-highway diagnostic concepts
• Experience withGit or similar version control systems

Nice to Have

• Experience inoff-highway, automotive, powertrain, or electrification domains
• Exposure toStateflow, code generation, or model integration workflows
• Familiarity withHIL tools and test environments
