Engineer Software - 20

Job Title: Senior AUTOSAR Software Engineer (10+ Years Experience)
Location: Carmel, Indiana
Duration: 8+ months

Position Summary:
Client is seeking a Senior AUTOSAR Software Engineer to play a key role in an Advanced Development Program (ADP) focused on generating the initial AUTOSAR software-only baseline for a next-generation ECU platform. In this role, you will serve as the primary AUTOSAR expert, collaborating closely with the Software Architect and the Senior Embedded Software Engineer to define, configure, integrate, and bring up the AUTOSAR stack and supporting software.

This is a senior, hands on role requiring deep AUTOSAR configuration expertise, strong understanding of automotive software architectures, and the ability to guide early-phase AUTOSAR design decisions that influence downstream development. You will be instrumental in shaping the BSW configuration, RTE generation, integration strategy, and MCAL interface alignment for the early software release.

Key Responsibilities:
Lead configuration, integration, and bring up of the AUTOSAR architecture (MCAL, BSW, RTE) for an ADP software only release.
Work closely with the SW Architect to interpret high-level architecture and translate it into AUTOSAR configurations and component definitions.
Collaborate with the Embedded SW Engineer to ensure internally developed building block modules integrate cleanly into the AUTOSAR environment.
Configure BSW modules including communication stack (CAN), diagnostics, memory services, watchdog, OS, and ECU state management.
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.
Collaborate in defining MCAL usage, microcontroller abstraction integration, and hardware service layer behavior (even in software only scenarios).
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 activities (ISO 26262).
Support development of SENT (SAE J2716) communication interface / device driver and AUTOSAR configuration for bench prototype hardware.

Required Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
10+ years of experience in automotive embedded software development.
Significant hands on experience with AUTOSAR Classic Platform, including:
MCAL, BSW, ECU Abstraction
OS configuration
RTE generation
Communication stack (CAN/LIN)
Diagnostics stack (UDS, DCM, DEM), power management, and memory services.
Strong expertise with Vector DaVinci or similar AUTOSAR toolchains.
Experience integrating application software into an AUTOSAR system and resolving interface, RTE, and configuration alignment issues.
Strong embedded C background for debugging AUTOSAR-related implementation issues.
Familiarity with TriCore, S32, Renesas, or similar microcontrollers.
Hands on experience with CANalyzer/CANoe for communication analysis and validation.
Experience with static analysis tools, configuration validation, and unit testing.
Understanding of ASPICE processes and basic functional safety concepts (ISO 26262).

Soft Skills:
Strong communication skills, able to convey AUTOSAR concepts to cross-functional engineers.
Collaborative mindset-comfortable working closely with architects and building-block developers.
Highly organized, self-driven, and able to guide early-phase technical direction.
Able to work effectively in a global, cross-cultural engineering environment.

Optional / Preferred Skills
Experience with occupant sensing, airbag systems, or other safety-critical automotive domains.
Prior involvement in ADP/advanced development, platform bring-up, or early-phase architectural exploration.
Familiarity with functional safety work products, architecture safety concepts, or safety analysis techniques (FMEA/FMDA).
