Senior Manager, MBOS ECUs Software

Lead the MBOS ECUs Software team responsible for base software, middleware, and platform software development across multiple EEA (Electrical/Electronic Architecture) generations for zone controllers (ZCU), VCPU platforms, and other ECUs in Mercedes-Benz vehicles for the China market.

Collaborate with EEA architecture to define the overall methodology for zone controller base software and system across three key domains\: computing, communication (communication middleware, SOA), and power distribution (intelligent power management and big-data analytics). Leverage SOA-based middleware and modern toolchains to enable efficient software development, flexible vehicle software architecture, shortened development cycles, and improved hardware-software decoupling for rapid functional iteration.

Lead vehicle ECU Update and OTA onboard development, release and roll-out for China-specific version as market function owner to support MB's product transformation. As part of global security teams, lead security technology including requirements, design, implementation and testing to meet the needs of the Chinese market. Drive cross-domain SDV innovation.

Manage and advance the development of CP AutoSAR, AP AutoSAR, complex device drivers, and real-time operating systems (Linux, QNX) across the MBOS ECU product portfolio, including VCPU platforms, next-generation zone SOC/MPU platforms, and CP AutoSAR integration for cockpit computing. Ensure compliance with ASPICE, functional safety (ISO 26262), and cybersecurity standards.

Build, mentor, grow and retain a high-performing multinational engineering team. Foster a results-oriented culture with strong cross-functional and cross-border collaboration to exceed internal and external customer expectations.
