Job description

Key Responsibilities

• ECU Architecture: Define robust software architectures for vehicle ECUs with a strong focus on cybersecurity and functional safety (ISO 26262/ASIL).
• Agile Development: Lead architectural sprints within an Agile framework, ensuring incremental delivery of high-quality, security-compliant software features.
• MBD Strategy: Enforce MAAB Guidelines and ensure model compliance for efficient Code Generation (Embedded Coder) and seamless integration into the target hardware.

Simulation & Evaluation Environment (MILS/HILS)

• Environment Creation: Architect and deploy evaluation environments for ADAS features using Model-in-the-Loop (MILS) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HILS) simulations.
• Scenario Design: Design complex test scenarios based on functional specifications using CarMaker or CarSim, replicating real-world driving conditions.
• Data-Driven Validation: Develop test cases for MILS/HILS derived from real driving data, ensuring the virtual environment accurately reflects physical road behavior.

Automation & Verification

• Test Automation: Automate the execution of test scenarios and regression suites to accelerate the validation loop (utilizing Python/MATLAB scripts).
• Logic Verification: Verify control logic robustness through rigorous MILS/HILS testing before physical vehicle integration.
• Toolchain Management: Manage the integration of verification tools (dSPACE ControlDesk, Vector CANoe) into the architectural workflow.

Domain Expertise (ADAS)

You must have experience architecting or developing at least one of the following features:

• Automatic Parking (APA/RPA)
• Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS)
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Lane Departure Control / Prevention System (LDW/LKA/LDP)

Key Qualifications

Software & Tools Proficiency

• MBD Core: Expert in MATLAB and Simulink.
• Code Generation: Strong proficiency in Embedded Coder for production code generation.
• Simulation Tools: Hands-on experience with CarMaker or CarSim for vehicle dynamics simulation.
• Validation Tools: Proficiency with dSPACE ControlDesk and Vector CANoe / CAPL scripting.
• Automation: High proficiency in Python for scripting, data analysis, and test automation.

Competencies

• MILS/HILS Verification: proven track record in setting up and executing virtual verification (MILS) and hardware-in-the-loop (HILS) tests.
• Standards: Deep knowledge of MAAB Guidelines, ISO 26262, and ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) classification.
• Soft Skills:
  • Strong analytical and conceptual thinking to solve complex architectural conflicts.
  • Effective communication skills to present technical concepts to stakeholders.
  • Team-oriented mindset with the ability to mentor junior engineers.

Education & Experience

• Degree: B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Electronics, Mechatronics, or Computer Science.
• Experience: 7+ years in Embedded Software, with specific exposure to ADAS features, Vehicle ECU Architecture, and Simulation environments.
