For anyone searching for Cognizant Embedded C developer jobs in Pune, this is a niche role with a clear skill list. We share new openings like this on the Hirecept WhatsApp jobs channel.
Role Overview
The job summary talks about delivering software for automotive clients, building production-ready features that improve manufacturing efficiency and product quality while meeting strict automotive standards. It mixes two worlds: embedded code for vehicle systems, and manufacturing execution configuration on the factory side.
Responsibilities
- Write embedded software in Embedded C that meets automotive performance, safety and reliability expectations.
- Build real time modules that interact with automotive hardware.
- Configure and extend Opcenter Exec workflows, including routing, sequencing and traceability.
- Work with process engineers and plant stakeholders to turn production needs into configuration.
- Use Teamcenter to manage requirements, design data and change requests.
- Find and fix defects and performance problems in existing solutions.
- Support testing, documentation, code reviews and deployment to test and production environments.
Skills required for Cognizant Developer in Pune
- Hands-on Embedded C, including memory management, interrupt handling and low level interfacing for automotive ECUs.
- Practical experience with Opcenter Exec Discrete or Process.
- Experience using Teamcenter for product structures and engineering change workflows.
- Understanding of automotive quality and traceability practices.
- Strong analytical and debugging skills using logs, traces and test results.
- Clear communication with technical and non-technical people.
What the role involves
Expect to switch between low-level code and plant-floor workflows. One week might be an interrupt handler, the next a routing change in a manufacturing execution system. The posting gives no number of years of experience, but the "hands on" and "proven capability" wording suggests candidates with some real project history.
Who it suits
Embedded engineers with automotive exposure who also know, or want to learn, Siemens manufacturing software. It is not a general web developer opening.
How to stand out
- Put automotive or ECU projects first, with specifics: microcontroller, RTOS, interrupts handled.
- If you know Opcenter or Teamcenter, name the modules you configured. These tools are rare, so it will set you apart.
- Be ready to discuss debugging with logs and traces. Interview content is not described in the posting, so treat that as an expectation.
