Lead Engineer – AUTOSAR/MCAL Software Development (Automotive Real-Time MCU)
Location: Pune / Bangalore – India
Join the RISC-V Revolution at MIPS!
Introduction:
We are seeking a Lead Software Engineer to drive development of AUTOSAR-compliant MCAL (Microcontroller Abstraction Layer) components for our next-gen automotive RISC-V real-time MCUs. This role requires strong technical leadership, hands-on embedded expertise, and deep familiarity with the AUTOSAR stack, safety-critical development flows, and low-level hardware-software integration.
You'll work closely with silicon, architecture, and functional safety teams to deliver production-grade drivers, validation infrastructure, and safety-compliant software that powers mission-critical automotive systems like ADAS, powertrain, body electronics, and domain controllers.
What You’ll Do:
Lead and architect development of MCAL drivers for peripherals like ADC, PWM, CAN, LIN, WDG, SPI, UART, etc. based on AUTOSAR standards
Ensure conformance to ISO 26262 (ASIL-D) software development process including: MISRA C compliance, HIS metrics, and traceability to requirements
Document software architecture, design specs, and safety work products
Own the end-to-end MCAL development lifecycle, from specification, design, coding, unit testing to integration and validation
Collaborate with platform, architecture, and tools teams to align driver interfaces, memory maps, interrupt models, and SoC integration
Work with partners or internal teams to integrate with BSW stack or third-party AUTOSAR stacks
Drive quality and reusability across software components and validation toolchains
Mentor junior engineers and participate in code/design reviews
What You Should Have:
6–10 years of experience in embedded software development, with 3+ years in MCAL/AUTOSAR
Strong C programming skills and familiarity with MISRA-C, AUTOSAR coding standards, and static analysis tools (e.g. Polyspace, QAC)
Solid understanding of computer architecture, especially microcontroller subsystems (clocks, resets, interrupts, DMA, timers, peripherals)
Hands-on experience with AUTOSAR MCAL development flows, including configuration tools (e.g., DaVinci Configurator, EB Tresos)
Familiarity with ISO 26262, including requirement traceability, unit testing, and tool qualification
Experience with hardware bring-up, debuggers (Lauterbach, iSystem), and lab test equipment
Bonus Points for:
Knowledge of RISC-V ISA or experience porting MCAL to non-AUTOSAR-standard CPU architecture
Involvement in safety audits, ASPICE assessments, or tool qualification efforts
Experience with customer delivery of MCAL stacks or leading software integration with OEMs/Tier-1s
What You’ll Get at MIPS:
Opportunity to work on one of the first ASIL-D RISC-V automotive MCU platforms
Influence SoC design through close collaboration with CPU and hardware teams
Join a fast-growing, engineering-first culture with strong autonomy and zero bureaucracy
Be part of a team redefining what open compute and safety mean in automotive
