This role requires strong technical leadership to guide development teams and ensure compliance with automotive industry standards.
Key Responsibilities:
1. ECU Software Architecture Design
Define and develop modular, real-time, and high-performance software architectures for ECUs used in Powertrain, Chassis, ADAS, and Body Control Systems.
Ensure compliance with AUTOSAR, ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), and Cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434).
Optimize software for memory, power consumption, and processing efficiency on MCUs and SoCs.
2. Technical Leadership & Collaboration
Work closely with System Engineers, Hardware Engineers, and Software Developers to translate system requirements into software architecture and design.
Provide technical guidance to software teams on best practices, coding standards (MISRA C/C++), and software integration.
Conduct design reviews, code reviews, and architecture validation.
3. Software Development & Integration
Lead the integration of middleware, RTOS, and bootloaders for ECU platforms.
Work with AUTOSAR BSW, MCAL, and RTE layers to ensure seamless communication between software components.
Develop and optimize software for CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay, and SOME/IP communication protocols.
4. Performance, Safety & Compliance
Ensure functional safety (ISO 26262) compliance, including ASIL decomposition, safety mechanisms, and failure mode analysis.
Support ASPICE Level 2/3 compliance for software development lifecycle.
Implement security best practices to protect ECUs against cyber threats.
5. Innovation & Future Trends
Stay updated on emerging ECU technologies, including OTA updates, AI/ML in automotive, and software-defined vehicles.
Evaluate new MCUs, SoCs, and hardware acceleration techniques to enhance ECU performance.
