Job Description
Position Description: Employees in this job function are responsible for developing, integrating, configuring, and validating embedded software for automotive Body Control Modules (BCMs) and microcontroller-based platforms. The role focuses on AUTOSAR Classic Platform integration, embedded C/C++ development, MCU bring-up, low-level driver configuration, and hardware-software integration.
The position involves working with AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW), operating systems, CAN/LIN communication stacks, middleware, and application interfaces to support existing vehicle architectures and next-generation vehicle systems. The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams to resolve integration issues, optimize platform performance, and support the delivery of validated embedded software.
Key Responsibilities
1.
MCU and Low-Level Bring-Up
Bring up the microcontroller platform, including clock configuration, pin mapping, memory initialization, interrupts, and peripheral configuration.
2. Configure and validate Microcontroller Abstraction Layer (MCAL) drivers and resolve hardware-software integration issues.
3.
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.
4.
AUTOSAR BSW and OS Configuration
Configure, integrate, and validate the AUTOSAR Basic Software (BSW) baseline and operating system.
5. Establish task scheduling, interrupt handling, initialization sequences, and platform startup behavior.
6.
CAN/LIN Integration
Integrate CAN DBC and LIN LDF communication descriptions into platform configuration. Configure drivers, communication stacks, signal mapping, message routing, and middleware interfaces.
7.
Low-Power and Sleep/Wake Management
Implement and validate power-state transitions, sleep-entry conditions, wake-up sources, and restoration of platform services.
8. Verify sleep current, wake-up timing, and behavior during repeated sleep/wake cycles. Coordinate relevant ECU and BSW state-management configurations.
9.
Application Translation Layer
Develop and maintain a translation layer connecting 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.
10.
Application Integration
Integrate application components with platform middleware.
Validate interface compatibility, initialization order, scheduling, data exchange, and end-to-end behavior.
11.
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.
12.
Integration Issue Resolution
Debug issues across MCU drivers, BSW, OS, middleware, and applications, and track defects through closure.
13.
Documentation and Release Support
Maintain platform configurations, interface specifications, build instructions, and validation results. Support repeatable builds and release of validated platform software.
