As a world-leading OEM, Mercedes-Benz is looking for experienced experts who share the same passion and enthusiasm to bring SOA features into our product.

Spearheading the company’s shift to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV), this role is responsible for planning the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) strategy, addressing the pain point of tight hardware-software coupling in traditional vehicles, supporting rapid iteration of vehicle functions and user experience upgrades, and helping the company build an extensible, highly reusable software ecosystem to seize the technological high ground in intelligent vehicles.

Lead the core architecture design of the vehicle‑on‑board SOA platform, including service layering, interface specifications, communication protocols (e.g., SOME/IP, DDS, MQTT), and service governance frameworks.

Design cross‑domain service‑oriented solutions spanning Body, Powertrain, Intelligent Cockpit, Autonomous Driving, etc., to achieve hardware abstraction and software decoupling.

Establish and maintain SOA design principles, standards, and best practices, ensuring unified compliance across internal teams and external suppliers.

Lead the development and integration of critical service components; guide the team in service modeling, interface definition, and code generation.

Drive SOA adoption in mass‑production programs, coordinating software–hardware integration, test validation, and performance optimization.

Establish a service lifecycle management mechanism covering version control, compatibility policies, and OTA (Over‑The‑Air) upgrade support.

Lead a small-scale outsourcing engineer team(3-5 members) in project delivering, including: compiling software requirements, preparing technical solutions, task breakdown and allocation, tracking delivery progress and quality, supporting the team leader in managing the performance of outsourcing engineers

Collaborate with global R&D centers, product teams, and suppliers to ensure effective deployment of SOA solutions across multiple vehicle platforms.

Organize internal technical training sessions and workshops to enhance the team’s understanding and practical capabilities in SOA architecture.

Engage in technical exchanges with industry standard organizations (e.g., AUTOSAR, SOAFEE) and bring in external best practices.

Define performance and stability test cases and perform issue diagnosis and resolution throughout the project lifecycle.

Develop an enterprise‑wide SOA implementation roadmap, ensuring alignment with the company’s technology vision and business objectives.

Analyze emerging trends in SOA within the automotive industry, propose innovative architectural solutions to support the long‑term evolution of Software‑Defined Vehicles (SDV).

Promote SOA adoption internally and drive its implementation across business teams, encouraging the use of SOA communication architecture.

Identify technical risks in SOA implementation (e.g., real time performance, security, reliability) and develop mitigation measures.

Lead architecture reviews to ensure design proposals comply with functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO 21434) requirements.

Bachelor degree or above, major in electrical engineering, computer sciences, automation, mechatronics, vehicle engineering, electronics or software.

Around 10 years of work experience in automotive electronics or software architecture, with at least 3 years focused on SOA or distributed system architecture design.

Proven experience in deploying SOA solutions on mass‑production vehicle programs; familiar with automotive development processes such as the V‑model and ASPICE.

Experience in cross‑domain integrated architectures, with hands‑on knowledge of both in‑vehicle infotainment and ADAS domains.

Proficient in core SOA concepts (service design, service discovery, service governance, etc.) and implementation in the automotive domain (e.g., AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform).

In‑depth understanding of in‑vehicle communication protocols (SOME/IP, DDS, MQTT, etc.) and middleware technologies.

Familiar with cloud‑native and microservices architectures; experienced in designing cross‑vehicle‑cloud integrated architectures.

Well versed in both AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform and Classic AUTOSAR Platform.

Familiar with vehicle real-time and QoS communication protocols(TSN/AVB).

Proficient in programming languages such as C/C++, Java, Python, with ability to conduct code reviews and provide technical guidance.

Excellent English and Chinese communication skills, enabling effective collaboration with global teams and suppliers.

Possess strong technical leadership capability to lead architecture teams in making complex technical decisions and driving execution.

Familiar with agile work process.
