Company Description

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT and Business Solutions. With over 27,000+ associates, it’s the largest software development center of Bosch, outside Germany, indicating that it is the Technology Powerhouse of Bosch in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Job Description

• Safety-Critical Firmware Development:Design, develop, and validate safety-critical firmware for the Cortex-R5 MCU cores in accordance with ISO 26262 standards, including driver development for peripherals like I2C, SPI, and GPIO.


• Low-Level Driver and HAL Implementation:Implement and maintain hardware abstraction layers (HAL) and low-level drivers, directly interacting with SoC registers and ensuring precise hardware control.


• SoC Safety Mechanisms:Configure and utilize the inherent safety features of the TI TDA4Vx SoC, such as lock-step cores, Memory Protection Units (MPUs), and error signaling modules (ESM). System Bring-Up and Bootloader:


• Take a lead role in board bring-up, bootloader development (e.g., SBL), and configuring the system boot flow to establish a secure and safe operational environment. Inter-Processor Communication (IPC):Architect and implement robust, high-performance IPC mechanisms for communication between the safety domain (R5/RTOS) and the application domain (A72/QNX), ensuring freedom from interference.


• RTOS & Bare-Metal Development:Develop and optimize real-time applications on safety RTOS (ETAS RTA-OS,FreeRTOS) or bare-metal environments, focusing on interrupt handling, DMA, task scheduling, and memory management for the R5 cores.


• Debugging and System Analysis:Perform deep-dive debugging of complex, system-level issues at the hardware/software interface using JTAG debuggers (Lauterbach Trace32), oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.


• Collaboration and Documentation:Work closely with hardware engineers to review schematics, define hardware requirements, and produce detailed technical documentation for firmware design and validation.

Expected skill set:

• Technical Expertise:


• 8-12 years in embedded software development, with a strong focus on C programming for microcontrollers.


• Proven experience in developing firmware for safety-critical systems compliant with standards like ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.


• Hands-on experience with the TI TDA4Vx/Jacinto 7 family, including the use of TI SDKs (Processor SDK, MCU+ SDK).


• Deep expertise in developing for ARM Cortex-R5 or similar safety-oriented MCUs, including bare-metal programming.


• Experience configuring and validating hardware safety mechanisms (MPU, ECC, lock-step).


• Proficiency with a safety-certified real-time operating system (e.g., ETAS RTA-OS, FreeRTOS).

Good to Have skills:

• Experience developing on the Cortex-A72 cores and familiarity with QNX Neutrino RTOS.


• Familiarity with MISRA C/C++ guidelines and using static analysis tools (e.g., Polyspace, Klocwork) Knowledge of secure boot processes, cryptographic accelerators, and hardware security modules (HSMs).


• Experience with performance optimization, cache coherency, and multicore system tuning.


• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, and Automotive Ethernet.


• Experience with test automation, particularly using the Robot Framework.


• Prior experience on projects directly related to our platform and toolchain environment.


• Proficiency in low-level debugging using JTAG/SWD debuggers (e.g., Lauterbach Trace32, TI XDS probes).


• Experience with modern development tools including Git, CI/CD pipelines, and artifact management (Artifactory).

Qualifications

• B. E/ B. Tech E&C, EEE or any equivalent
