Automotive Graphic Controller Architect (Multicore, VAS)

NTT DATA Europe & Latam; Emilia-Romagna; On-site; EUR 85,000 - 120,000; Full time

Job summary

NTT DATA Romania is seeking an experienced Software Architect to own the Graphic Controller architecture for automotive Instrument Clusters. You will define VAS interactions with the Base System and establish the GC task model to ensure robust multicore operation.

You will coordinate IPC, memory management, and system mechanisms across ACE, INTEGRITY OS, middleware, and HMI components, collaborating with platform, hardware, and system teams to deliver high-performance, safe embedded solutions.

Qualifications

• Strong experience in embedded software architecture and development.
• Strong knowledge of C/C++.
• Experience with RTOS-based architectures, preferably Green Hills INTEGRITY.
• Good understanding of ACE or comparable automotive middleware/platform architectures.
• Strong knowledge of processes, threads, scheduling, IPC, synchronization, and memory management.
• Experience with multicore embedded systems, CPU affinity, and resource allocation.
• Good understanding of ARM Cortex-A architectures, ideally Cortex-A7.
• Experience with Renesas automotive controllers/SoCs is highly desirable.
• Strong system-level debugging and performance analysis skills.
• Experience with Automotive Instrument Cluster, Digital Cockpit, or Infotainment systems is nice to have.
• Green Hills MULTI / INTEGRITY development experience is nice to have.
• Knowledge of graphics/HMI architectures is nice to have.
• Experience with MMU, shared memory, cache management, and inter-core communication is nice to have.
• Automotive SPICE / ISO 26262 knowledge is nice to have.

Responsibilities

• Own and maintain the Graphic Controller software architecture.
• Define and coordinate the architecture of the different VASs and their interaction with the Base System.
• Define the GC task model, including processes, threads, priorities, scheduling, CPU affinity, and startup dependencies.
• Define high-level system mechanisms such as IPC/RPC, synchronization, shared memory, resource management, error handling, and system supervision.
• Design and optimize the software architecture for multicore execution.
• Ensure proper integration between VASs, ACE, INTEGRITY OS, middleware, and application/HMI components.
• Analyze system-level issues related to CPU load, memory, timing, synchronization, and performance.
• Support software integration, debugging, system bring-up, and architectural reviews.
• Collaborate with HMI, platform, integration, hardware, and system teams.
