About the Position:

We are looking for a Basic Software Architect to join the Propulsion Basic SW & Services team, reporting directly to the Basic SW Architecture and Integration Manager.

As a Basic Software Architect for Electronic Control Units (ECUs) in the automotive domain, you will lead the design and development of foundational software layers, ensuring scalability, reliability, and compliance with automotive standards. You will be responsible for the architecture both in standard Autosar or Marelli legacy of core ECU modules (including OS, drivers, and communication stacks).

Your Responsibilities will be:

• Define and document the architecture for ECU basic software components such as hardware abstraction layers, microcontroller drivers, and operating system interfaces (e.g., AUTOSAR, non-AUTOSAR).
• Guide software development teams in implementing robust and scalable basic software solutions.
• Review designs and code for architectural compliance and best practices.
• Oversee integration of basic software with application software, third-party middleware, and hardware platforms.
• Ensure software architecture aligns with automotive standards (AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, ASPICE).
• Participate in requirements definition and traceability processes.
• Configure and develop the BSW modules, such as communication stack components, system services, crypto stack, microcontroller abstraction layers, tailored to meet specific vehicle requirements.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, identify user needs and ensure customer expectation.
• Evaluate the product prototype to identify potential safety and cyber security hazards.
• Develop test plans and overseeing the validation of the BSW components to guarantee system reliability and performance under some basic operation condition.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of the architecture and its components.

What Qualifications you will bring:

• Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field.
• Hands on experience on Embedded C programming language, Polyspace, MISRA.
• Hands on Experience on AUTOSAR classic architecture BSW modules (system, Com, Memory, Crypto, IOHWAB, CDD).
• Strong understanding of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
• Familiarity with safety-critical system requirements and ISO 26262.
• Comfortable working with Canoe (including CAPL script) and CANalyzer.
• Experience on lauterbach’s IDE (trace32 system).
• Working Experience with 32 bits Tricore TC3xx microcontrollers and MCAL.
• Hands-on experience with Vector toolchain (DaVinci Configurator).

Other skills that we would welcome:

• Experience on Atlassian tool chain.
• Experience on TC4xx microcontroller.
• Experience on IBM Doors and Enterprise Architect tools.
• Prior involvement in ASPICE-compliant development projects.
• Familiarity with Cyber security management system (ISO 21434, Embedded standard algorithm cryptography, Vehicle On Board security principles, … ).
• Familiarity with software update solution (factory, service, OTA).

Expectations from you in this position:

• Analytical Thinking: Ability to break down complex problems, identify root causes, and develop effective solutions.
• Attention to Detail: Thoroughness in design, coding, and testing ensures reliability and minimizes errors.
• Communication Skills: Clear and concise interaction with colleagues across hardware, software, and testing teams; documenting technical details for cross-functional understanding.
• Collaboration and Teamwork: Work productively within multidisciplinary teams, share insights, and integrate feedback constructively.
• Adaptability: Openness to changing requirements, new technologies, and evolving project goals; flexibility in addressing unexpected challenges.
• Problem-Solving: Resourceful when confronting technical issues; proactive in finding solutions and continuous improvement opportunities.
• Time Management: Prioritize tasks, manage deadlines, and handle multiple assignments efficiently in a fast-paced environment.
• Accountability: Take responsibility for deliverables and decisions, and follow through consistently.
• Continuous Learning: Eagerness to update skills, stay informed about industry trends, and apply new knowledge to ongoing projects.
