Staff Engineer Software - AUTOSAR MCAL

What You'll Do

• Develop and maintain AUTOSAR MCAL drivers for peripherals such as ADC, PWM, GPT, ICU, DIO, PORT, CAN, LIN, SPI, UART, WDG, MCU, FLS, and Ethernet.
• Own assigned MCAL modules across requirements analysis, design, coding, configuration, unit testing, integration, and validation.
• Implement software in compliance with MISRA C and AUTOSAR coding guidelines, and resolve findings from static-analysis tools.
• Create software design descriptions, configuration guidance, test specifications, traceability, and other required engineering work products.
• Bring up and debug MCAL drivers on FPGA and silicon using Lauterbach, iSystem, or similar embedded debug tools.
• Collaborate with SoC architecture, hardware, platform software, functional safety, validation, and tools teams on clocks, resets, interrupts, DMA, memory maps, and peripheral integration.
• Integrate MCAL components with AUTOSAR BSW stacks and configuration environments, and support system-level issue resolution.
• Develop automated unit, integration, and regression tests and contribute to CI-based quality checks.
• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, defect analysis, and continuous improvement of reusable MCAL components.
• What You Should Have 4-6 years of embedded software development experience, including meaningful hands-on AUTOSAR MCAL or low-level driver development.
• Strong embedded C programming skills and practical knowledge of pointers, memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, concurrency, and linker or startup concepts.
• Experience developing or integrating MCAL modules and working with AUTOSAR specifications and configuration workflows.
• Good understanding of MCU subsystems including clocks, resets, interrupt controllers, DMA, timers, watchdogs, communication peripherals, and memory interfaces.
• Experience with MISRA C, static analysis, code reviews, unit testing, and requirements-to-test traceability.
• Working knowledge of ISO 26262 software development practices and safety-oriented engineering deliverables.
• Experience with hardware bring-up and debugging using Lauterbach, iSystem, J-Link, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar equipment.
• Experience with Git and scripting in Python or shell for build and test automation.
• Ability to read hardware specifications and translate register-level behavior into reliable production-quality drivers.
• Good to Have Hands-on use of EB tresos Studio, Vector DaVinci Configurator, or equivalent AUTOSAR configuration tools.
• Experience with Vector, Elektrobit, ETAS, or another third-party AUTOSAR BSW stack.
• Exposure to tools such as Polyspace, QAC, Tessy, Cantata, or equivalent static-analysis and unit-test solutions.
• Knowledge of RISC-V architecture or experience moving MCAL software across MCU architectures.
• Exposure to ASPICE, safety audits, tool qualification, customer delivery, or OEM/Tier-1 integration.
• Experience with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and SPI.
• What You'll Get Opportunity to build MCAL software for a new RISC-V automotive MCU platform.
• Direct collaboration with CPU, SoC, functional safety, validation, and platform software teams.
• End-to-end ownership from specification and driver implementation through hardware validation and customer enablement.
• A flexible growth path toward MCAL architecture, functional safety, platform leadership, or deep technical specialization.
• We believe having a multicultural workplace enhances productivity, efficiency and innovation whilst our employees feel truly respected, valued and heard.
