Autosar information

What is an Autosar?

An AUTOSAR job involves working with the AUTOSAR (Automotive Open System Architecture) standard, which is used to develop standardized software architecture for automotive electronic control units (ECUs). Professionals in this role typically work on software development, integration, configuration, and testing of AUTOSAR-based systems. They collaborate with automotive manufacturers and suppliers to ensure compliance with AUTOSAR guidelines and improve software reusability, scalability, and interoperability.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in an Autosar position?

To excel in an AUTOSAR role, candidates typically need a strong background in embedded systems, C/C++ programming, and knowledge of automotive software architectures. Experience with AUTOSAR development tools (such as Vector DaVinci or Elektrobit), familiarity with ISO 26262 safety standards, and relevant certifications are highly valued. Effective communication, teamwork, and problem-solving abilities are essential for collaborating with multidisciplinary automotive teams. These skills ensure robust, compliant software development that meets both technical and industry-specific standards in automotive projects.

What are the common challenges faced in an Autosar development role?

AUTOSAR professionals often encounter challenges such as integrating complex software modules from multiple vendors, maintaining compliance with strict automotive safety and quality standards, and keeping pace with evolving AUTOSAR specifications. Working with cross-functional teams from different geographic locations can also require strong coordination and communication skills. Additionally, debugging and testing in real-world automotive environments can be intricate and require a detail-oriented approach. Successfully navigating these challenges builds strong technical expertise and increases your value in the rapidly growing automotive software industry.

Job description

Hi,
Hope you’re doing well!!

 
Please find the requirement below. If you find yourself comfortable with the requirement please reply back with your  updated resume or call me back at ) 
 
Autosar / Embedded HiL Validation Engineer

Duration: 6 month contract to hire

Location: Sunnyvale, CA/ Onsite 5 days/week

 
   

We need support for system-level validation (SWE.6, SYS.4) using HIL platforms like dSpace and Vector tools (CANoe/CANalyzer). Experience with Autosar stack integration and classic Autosar tooling is also a priority.
 

What will they be working on:

  • ECU/system-level validation
  • Hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testing
  • Embedded automotive validation automation
  • Autosar stack validation and integration
  • Validation of ECU/device driver behavior
  • CAN/network communication validation
  • Test automation scripting
  • Working within simulation environments and partial-system hardware setups
  • Extending and executing automated validation frameworks
  • Integration/system-level testing activities

What does their day to day look like:

  • Executing embedded validation test cases
  • Performing HiL and simulation-based testing
  • Writing/modifying Python automation scripts
  • Working with Vector or dSpace environments
  • CAN/CANoe/CANalyzer-based validation
  • Validating ECU interactions and embedded behaviors
  • Debugging communication/signaling issues
  • Reviewing requirements and validating expected system behavior
  • Supporting automation-heavy validation workflows
  • Collaborating closely with embedded developers and validation engineers onsite

What types of vehicles will they be working on:
Vehicle agnostic. Applied Intuition supports automotive simulation and embedded validation platforms rather than traditional OEM end-to-end production vehicle environments. Engineers may work on partial systems, ECUs, simulation environments, and embedded automotive platforms.

Must Have Skills:

  • Automotive embedded validation experience
  • HiL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) testing experience
  • Embedded systems/ECU validation
  • Python scripting/automation experience
  • CAN/CAN bus understanding
  • Experience with Vector tools (CANoe/CANalyzer) OR dSpace
  • Automotive industry background
  • Validation engineering mindset
  • Experience working with partial systems/embedded hardware
  • Comfortable onsite 5 days/week
  • Ability to logically troubleshoot/debug systems

Desired Skills:

  • Autosar / Classic Autosar experience
  • ECU driver/device driver exposure
  • SiL (Software-in-the-Loop) testing
  • SWE.6 / SYS.4 exposure
  • Embedded C/C++ background
  • ECU integration testing
  • Automation framework development/extension
  • Simulation environment experience
  • Tier-1 supplier background
  • Embedded software development exposure
  • Strong debugging/troubleshooting mindset
  • Startup or fast-paced engineering environment experience

Target Candidate Backgrounds:

  • Embedded Validation Engineer
  • ECU Validation Engineer
  • HiL Validation Engineer
  • Embedded Test Automation Engineer
  • Integration & Verification Engineer
  • Autosar Validation Engineer
  • ECU Integration Engineer
  • System Validation Engineer
