Job description

Job Description

The BSW Platform Integration Engineer will be working with Micro controller-based modules with AUTOSAR classic platform with experience with C, Python, Integration, testing. Especially Vector based AUTOSAR classic platform experience needed.
The Body Controls team is a growing team dedicated to creating Body Control Modules that integrate with existing architectures as well as our next-generation vehicle systems. Join our diverse global team to design and develop embedded software in areas related to cloud-based computing, ad-hoc computing, and embedded platforms.

Job Duties

• MCU and low-level bring-up:
  Bring up the MCU platform, including clock configuration, pin mapping, memory initialization, interrupts, and peripherals.
  Configure and validate Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) drivers and resolve hardware-software integration issues.


• Embedded software development:
  Design, develop, and debug embedded C software for low-level and platform components, as needed.
  Maintain clear interfaces between drivers, middleware, and application software.


• AUTOSAR BSW and OS configuration:
  Configure, integrate, and validate the AUTOSAR BSW baseline and operating system. Establish task scheduling, interrupt handling, initialization sequences, and platform startup behavior.


• CAN/LIN integration:
  Integrate CAN DBC and LIN LDF communication descriptions into the platform configuration.
  Configure drivers, communication stacks, signal mapping, message routing, and middleware interfaces.


• Low-power and sleep/wake management:
  Implement and validate power-state transitions, sleep-entry conditions, wake-up sources, and restoration of platform services.
  Verify sleep current, wake-up timing, and behavior during repeated sleep/wake cycles.


• Coordinate the relevant ECU and BSW state-management configuration Application translation layer:
  Develop and maintain a translation layer that connects non-AUTOSAR C applications to ECU middleware through agreed interfaces.
  Handle data conversion, signal mapping, API adaptation, and error reporting while maintaining a clear AUTOSAR/non-AUTOSAR boundary.


• Application integration:
  Integrate application components with platform middleware.
  Validate interface compatibility, initialization order, scheduling, data exchange, and end-to-end behavior.


• Performance optimization:
  Measure and optimize RAM usage, CPU load, task execution time, and startup time.
  Review compiler, linker, and build settings while maintaining functional correctness and timing requirements.


• Integration issue resolution:
  Debug issues across MCU drivers, BSW, OS, middleware, and applications, and track defects through closure.


• Documentation and release support:
  Maintain platform configurations, interface specifications, build instructions, and validation results.
  Support repeatable builds and release of validated platform software.
