Senior PySide6 / Qt Developer for Modern Diesel Tuning Software Platform

FlashLogic — Next Generation Diesel Tuning & Diagnostics Platform I am looking for an experienced software engineer or small development team to help build a modern diesel tuning and diagnostics platform inspired by EFILive, HP Tuners, and EZ Lynk. This is NOT a basic tuning app or generic OBD scanner. The goal is to create a professional-grade desktop platform that simplifies diesel ECM tuning by translating complex calibration data into plain English so mechanics and enthusiasts can actually understand what they are modifying. Examples: Instead of displaying raw calibration names like: • FN035A • Torque_Limiter_2 • BoostTbl_3D The software should display: • Desired Boost Pressure • Driver Demand Torque • Fuel Rail Pressure Target Along with: • Descriptions • Safety warnings • Recommended ranges • Units/conversions • Real-time graphs • Tooltips explaining tuning effects ⸻ PHASE 1 GOALS Build a polished desktop prototype/UI architecture using: • Python • PySide6 / Qt6 • Modular architecture • Dark modern UI • High-performance dashboard styling • Plugin-ready structure The first phase does NOT require fully functional ECM flashing yet. Primary focus: • UI/UX • Software architecture • Calibration editor framework • Logging/dashboard concepts • Expandable backend foundation ⸻ TARGET FEATURES Main modules: • ECM Reading • ECM Writing • Live Data Monitoring • Diagnostics • DTC Management • Calibration Editor • Turbo Controls • Fuel System Controls • Transmission Controls • Data Logging • Cloud Tune Storage • Remote Tune Delivery Future support planned for: • Cummins • Duramax • Power Stroke • Gas vehicles • Transmission tuning ⸻ TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Preferred experience: • CAN Bus • J2534 • UDS protocols • Automotive diagnostics • ECU/ECM communication • Real-time threaded applications • Performance dashboards • Industrial UI design Planned architecture includes: • Vehicle Database • Calibration Definition Parser • Flashing Engine • Diagnostics Engine • Logging Engine • Plugin System • Security Layer ⸻ VISUAL STYLE The software should feel: • Industrial • Aggressive • Modern • High-end • Touch friendly • Similar to OEM engineering software mixed with modern performance tuning platforms Design inspiration: • EFILive • HP Tuners • EZ Lynk • Haltech • MoTeC Dark theme preferred with realistic gauges, graphing, and performance-oriented UI. ⸻ WHAT I NEED FROM YOU Please include: • Relevant automotive or CAN/J2534 experience • Examples of UI-heavy desktop apps • Python/PySide experience • Architecture recommendations • Estimated timeline • Suggested roadmap for future ECM flashing integration Bonus if you have: • Automotive tuning experience • Embedded systems knowledge • ECU reverse engineering familiarity • Real-time data visualization experience This will likely become a long-term project if phase 1 goes well.
