What is an Autosar architect?

An AUTOSAR Architect is a specialist responsible for designing and overseeing the implementation of automotive software systems based on the AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture) standard. They ensure that the software architecture complies with AUTOSAR guidelines, enabling interoperability, scalability, and maintainability across different vehicle platforms. Their role involves defining system requirements, creating architectural models, integrating software components, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. AUTOSAR Architects play a crucial role in developing safe, reliable, and efficient automotive electronic systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Autosar architect?

To thrive as an Autosar Architect, you need deep expertise in embedded systems, automotive software development, and in-depth knowledge of the AUTOSAR standard, typically supported by a degree in computer science, electronics, or a related field. Familiarity with Autosar tools (such as Vector DaVinci, EB tresos), automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet), and model-based development tools like MATLAB/Simulink is essential. Strong problem-solving, leadership, and communication skills are vital for collaborating across multidisciplinary teams and guiding system integration. These skills and qualities are crucial to ensure robust, scalable, and compliant automotive software architectures in a rapidly evolving industry.

What are some common challenges faced by an Autosar architect when integrating new software components into an existing vehicle platform?

One of the key challenges for an AUTOSAR Architect is ensuring compatibility and seamless integration of new software components with legacy systems and existing vehicle platforms. This often involves resolving issues related to version mismatches, communication interfaces, and compliance with safety standards such as ISO 26262. Close collaboration with software developers, system engineers, and testing teams is essential to address these integration hurdles and maintain system reliability. Regular documentation and rigorous validation are also critical parts of the integration process.

What is the difference between Autosar Architect vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectAutosar ArchitectEmbedded Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's/Master's in Computer Engineering, Automotive Engineering; Autosar certificationsBachelor's in Electrical, Computer Engineering; some certifications optional
Work EnvironmentAutomotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, automotive software companiesConsumer electronics, automotive, industrial systems
Industry UsageDesigning automotive software architectures, AUTOSAR standardsDeveloping embedded firmware, device drivers, real-time systems

The Autosar Architect focuses on designing and implementing automotive software architectures based on AUTOSAR standards, often working on system-level integration. In contrast, the Embedded Software Engineer develops low-level firmware and embedded applications across various industries. While both roles require embedded systems knowledge, the Autosar Architect specializes in automotive architecture frameworks, making their roles distinct yet related within automotive software development.

Job description

May Mobility is transforming cities through autonomous technology to create a safer, greener, more accessible world. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May develops and deploys autonomous vehicles (AVs) powered by our innovative Multi-Policy Decision Making (MPDM) technology that literally reimagines the way AVs think.
Our vehicles do more than just drive themselves - they provide value to communities, bridge public transit gaps and move people where they need to go safely, easily and with a lot more fun. We're building the world's best autonomy system to reimagine transit by minimizing congestion, expanding access and encouraging better land use in order to foster more green, vibrant and livable spaces. Since our founding in 2017, we've given more than 500,000 autonomous rides to real people around the globe. And we're just getting started. We're hiring people who share our passion for building the future, today, solving real-world problems and seeing the impact of their work. Join us.
Job Summary
The Senior Vehicle Communications Architect designs the end-to-end network, telematics, and in-vehicle connectivity frameworks that connect the critical components of May Mobility's Autonomous Driving Kit (ADK), defining how the vehicle's physical domains, central compute, and cloud systems communicate.
