Senior Network & Communication Engineer (m/f/d)

About The Role

We are looking for a Senior Network & Communication Engineer to lead the design and optimization of communication systems across our robotics platform. In this role, you will be responsible for ensuring reliable, secure, and high-performance communication between ECUs, working closely with cross‑functional teams across systems, hardware, and software engineering. You will play a critical role in defining communication architectures and supporting system integration throughout the development lifecycle.

What You’ll Build

• Design, develop, and optimize in‑system communication networks (e.g., CAN, CAN‑FD, LIN, Automotive Ethernet) for robust ECU communication.
• Define and review communication architectures, signal mappings, and data flows based on hardware and software requirements.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and EE architecture teams to ensure seamless integration and interface alignment.
• Drive implementation of secure communication protocols (e.g., SecOC, End‑to‑End protection) in collaboration with cybersecurity teams.
• Ensure communication systems meet performance, scalability, cost, and reliability targets.
• Validate compliance with relevant standards and best practices (e.g., AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 where applicable).
• Support system integration and testing teams in troubleshooting and resolving communication issues.
• Contribute to system‑level architecture decisions and continuous improvement of communication strategies.

What You Bring

• Master’s degree in systems engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field
• 8–10+ years of experience in network/communication engineering, systems engineering, or embedded systems
• Strong expertise in automotive or robotics communication protocols (CAN, CAN‑FD, LIN, Ethernet)
• Experience with AUTOSAR (Classic or Adaptive) is highly desirable
• Solid understanding of system architecture, requirements engineering, and interface management
• Familiarity with development lifecycles (e.g., V-model, ASPICE)
• Experience with safety‑critical systems and standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262) is a plus
• Hands‑on experience with debugging tools (e.g., CANoe, CANalyzer, Wireshark) is preferred
• Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in multidisciplinary and international teams.

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• A shaping role in an emerging dual use company
• Opportunity to work with a highly innovative, international, and dynamic team
• Room for professional growth and development
• Access to regular events, knowledge exchange and meetups

ARX is an equal‑opportunity employer, and we encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply.
