Role summary

We are looking for a Mid-Level AUTOSAR Software Developer with 2 to 4 years of embedded software development experience to design, configure, and integrate Basic Software (BSW), MCAL drivers, and Application Software Components (SWCs) for a next-generation Zone Controller Platform. In this role, you will work within a multi-disciplinary software team, writing MISRA-C compliant code, configuring AUTOSAR stacks, and verifying software modules on target microcontrollers in compliance with ASPICE development processes and functional safety standards.

Requirements

  • Role & Industry Experience: 2 to 4 years of hands-on experience in automotive embedded software development for ECU platforms.
  • Embedded C Proficiency: Strong skills in C programming for real-time embedded systems, microcontrollers, and low-level software architectures.
  • AUTOSAR Classic Experience: Practical experience configuring and integrating AUTOSAR Classic BSW stacks (Siemens VSTAR / CVI or Vector AUTOSAR DaVinci suite).
  • Hardware & Driver Knowledge: Solid understanding of automotive microcontrollers (such as Infineon Aurix TC3xx) and peripheral hardware interfaces (CAN, Ethernet, SPI).
  • Process & Quality Standards: Working knowledge of ASPICE software lifecycle processes and functional safety development rules.
  • Development & Debugging Tools: Hands-on experience with automotive testing/diagnostic software (CANoe, CANalyzer), hardware debuggers (TRACE32/Lauterbach), and version control (Git, Gerrit).

Job responsibilities

  • AUTOSAR Component Configuration & Development: Configure and integrate AUTOSAR Classic BSW modules, MCAL drivers, and Application SWCs according to system requirements.
  • Embedded C Implementation: Write clean, efficient, and MISRA-C compliant embedded C code for assigned functional modules (such as Diagnostics, Communication Stacks, Mode Management, or I/O Abstraction).
  • Software Verification & Debugging: Perform unit testing (ASPICE SWE.4) and integration testing on target microcontrollers and evaluation benches, diagnosing software bugs and log traces.
  • Process & Traceability Adherence: Maintain full requirement-to-code traceability and document software designs following ASPICE (SWE.1 to SWE.3) quality guidelines.
  • Defect Resolution & CI/CD Support: Investigate reported software issues, deliver bug fixes, participate in peer code reviews, and integrate software builds into automated CI/CD pipelines.
