• Significant hands‑on experience with AUTOSAR Classic Platform, including MCAL, BSW, ECU Abstraction, OS configuration, RTE generation, CAN/LIN, Diagnostics stack, power management, and memory services.
• Strong expertise with Vector DaVinci or similar AUTOSAR toolchains.

Responsibilities

• Lead configuration, integration, and bring-up of the AUTOSAR architecture (MCAL, BSW, RTE) for an ADP software-only release.
• Interpret high-level architecture with SW Architect and translate into AUTOSAR configurations and component definitions.
• Collaborate with Embedded SW Engineer to ensure building-block modules integrate into the AUTOSAR environment.
• Maintain and manage AUTOSAR toolchains (Vector DaVinci or OEM‑specified tools).
• Perform RTE generation and ensure proper interface alignment for application components.
• Support early-stage debugging, integration, and issue resolution across the AUTOSAR stack.
• Contribute to simulation or virtual integration environments to validate early AUTOSAR configurations.
• Support power mode and diagnostic (UDS) integration from an AUTOSAR standpoint.
• Conduct static analysis, configuration validation, and support verification/QA activities.
• Ensure adherence to ASPICE and provide AUTOSAR-related inputs to functional safety (ISO 26262).
• Support development of SENT (SAE J2716) interfaces and AUTOSAR configuration for bench prototype hardware.
