BSW MCAL / Autosar Architect

About the Role

Our client, an engineering organisation developing embedded ECU platforms, is seeking a BSW MCAL / Autosar Architect to define, maintain, and evolve a reusable AUTOSAR Classic MCAL and low-level BSW foundation across multiple ECU products.

This role serves as the long-term technical owner of the MCAL and low-level software platform, with responsibility for architecture decisions, consistency, scalability, safety alignment, and efficient reuse across programs and customer-specific variants.

MCAL & BSW Platform Architecture

• Define, implement, and maintain an internal AUTOSAR Classic MCAL and low-level BSW / CDD platform
• Establish platform-wide configuration strategies, abstraction concepts, and reuse models
• Lead MCAL integration and optimization for target microcontrollers (e.g. Infineon AURIX, NXP S32, TI)
• Define and maintain internal standards for low-level drivers, hardware abstraction, and CDD usage
• Act as the technical owner for MCU peripherals, including interrupts, DMA, timers, and related safety mechanisms
• Guide platform roadmap decisions in alignment with system, hardware, and product needs
• Enable multiple ECU programs to share a common, well-documented BSW foundation
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to BSW and application engineers

CDD, Safety & Real-Time Governance

• Own and evolve the internal Complex Device Driver (CDD) framework
• Own platform integration of MCAL drivers: ADC, SPI, DMA, ICU, IPC, SBC, and related modules
• Support functional safety activities through reusable platform artifacts and design patterns
• Define platform-level execution and scheduling models for interrupts, DMA usage, and timing behavior
• Ensure deterministic real-time performance across all products using the platform
• Define and own the MCAL/BSW validation strategy
• Ensure consistent application of static analysis, MISRA compliance, and coverage metrics

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience as an AUTOSAR Classic MCAL Architect, BSW Architect, or Platform Owner
• Strong hands-on experience with Infineon, NXP, and/or TI microcontrollers
• Deep technical expertise in MCAL drivers, CDD integration, and low-level embedded software
• Experience designing and maintaining reusable embedded software platforms across multiple ECU products
• Understanding of ISO 26262 and ASPICE in a platform or architecture context is beneficial
• Strong technical leadership skills, with the ability to drive topics independently and collaboratively
