MB.OS Zone Controller: Technical Lead Software Architecture (f/m/x)

Mercedes-Benz AG is the world’s most valuable brand for luxury passenger cars. We focus on the development, production and sales of passenger cars, vans and vehicle-related services. Furthermore, the company aspires to be the leader in the fields of electric mobility and vehicle software.

Mercedes-Benz Cars Development (RD) has persistently been pioneering the automotive technology of the future. Highest quality, most innovative products and most efficient development processes are our day-to-day claim. We are already working today on vehicles that will secure the technological leadership of Mercedes-Benz in the future. One of the most important factors contributing to this leadership aspiration is agile vehicle software development at the heart of the new Mercedes-Benz operating system: MB.OS

Our new department has been founded to define and develop the brand-new Zone Controller platform (complex ECUs with power distribution, I/O management, gateway functionality, applications for vehicle and comfort functions, etc.) for our upcoming MB.OS vehicle architectures. As a senior Tech Lead Software Architecture, you will be responsible for designing the software architecture of the Zone Controller including high-level design choices for the distribution of application software and base layer stacks. In close collaboration with system architects and software requirement teams, you find creative solutions to build software compatible with interfaces throughout the vehicle architecture. Also, you are passionate about the MB.OS aspiration of “24h to prototype and 3 months to serial production”.
