Must have
Technical lead for an Engineering program for Aftersales for OEM about diagnostics/programming platform — someone who experience with building and maintaining the tool side, not just consumed it as a workshop technician
Automotive diagnostics/aftersales IT, ideally with experience at an OEM or a systems integrator working directly on the diagnostics toolchain
Comfortable operating at the intersection of vehicle electronics and IT application development — understands both worlds
Required domain expertise (automotive diagnostics & workshop systems):
Hands-on experience with an OEM workshop diagnostics platform (e.g. BMW ISTA, Mercedes XENTRY/DAS, VW ODIS, Porsche PIWIS, Audi VAS, or equivalent Tier 1 suite)
Client-side vehicle communication protocols: UDS (ISO 14229), DoIP (ISO 13400), OBD-II, KWP2000, CAN (ISO 11898), MOST, Ethernet — how the tool initiates sessions, sends requests, and interprets responses
ECU programming orchestration: therapy plans / flash sequences, precondition management (battery, vehicle state, network), multi-ECU coordination, rollback and recovery, post-flash configuration
Vehicle configuration models: how vehicle orders (FA), installed configurations (FP), software levels (I-Stufe), and master records (VCM or equivalent) drive diagnostic routing, programming eligibility, and fault code interpretation
Diagnostic content pipeline: how engineering data (specifications, measurement parameters, programming files) flows from OEM development into the tool — compilation, packaging, distribution, versioning
Workshop hardware interfaces: ICOM / VCI / PassThru devices, measurement hardware (IMIB or equivalent), physical connections (OBD, Ethernet gateway), and real-world failure modes (intermittent connections, mixed ECU generations, partial updates)
Protocol abstraction layers: middleware between tool and vehicle bus (e.g. EDIABAS, D-PDU API, ODX/OTX runtimes) — what they abstract, how they fail, how to debug them
Release and validation: testing tool releases against physical vehicles, and regression testing across 15+ years of vehicle generations
Nice to have
Desired technical background (less critical than domain, but helpful):
.NET / C# ecosystem (the platform is a large .NET 4.8 WPF windows desktop application)
Azure cloud services (parts of the platform are migrating to cloud-native)
Understanding of CI/CD pipelines for desktop application distribution (MSI packaging, staged rollouts to workshops)
Familiarity with ITSM processes in an automotive workshop context (incident triage, known error databases, L2/L3 support for a globally deployed tool)
