• Lead the design, configuration, and optimization of AutoSAR basic software stacks across multiple ECUs.
• Define and enforce platform software standards, interfaces, and best practices for suppliers and internal teams.
• Drive reuse of platform components and configurations across vehicle programs and ECUs.
• Analyze end-to-end system behavior (CPU load, memory usage, latency, bus utilization) and propose optimization strategies.
• Identify root causes of system-level stability issues (deadlocks, timing violations, resource contention) and implement corrective actions.
• Partner with suppliers and internal teams to ensure that performance and stability targets are met for production programs.
• Use CANoe, Vehicle Spy, Lauterbach and other debugging/profiling tools to investigate complex issues at ECU, network, and system level.
• Build and maintain debugging and measurement methodologies that can be reused by the wider team.
• Provide hands-on support during critical validation phases, including bench, HIL, and in‑vehicle testing.
• Act as the primary technical counterpart for suppliers on AutoSAR platform and low-level software topics.
• Review supplier designs, code, and test strategies, and provide concrete improvement feedback.
• Mentor internal engineers in AutoSAR, C/C++, and system-level analysis to raise the overall capability of the team.

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications) ​​
