Staff Engineer Software - AUTOSAR MCAL - Pune, Maharashtra, India
Originally posted 28 October 2026 by the employer.
Develop AUTOSAR-compliant MCAL components for MIPS RISC-V automotive real-time MCUs.
About the role
This role develops AUTOSAR-compliant MCAL components for MIPS RISC-V automotive real-time MCUs across driver development, hardware bring-up, safety-compliant engineering, integration, and validation. The work supports applications including ADAS, powertrain, body electronics, and domain controllers.
What you'll do
- Develop and maintain AUTOSAR MCAL drivers for peripherals such as ADC, PWM, GPT, ICU, DIO, PORT, CAN, LIN, SPI, UART, WDG, MCU, FLS, and Ethernet.
- Own assigned MCAL modules across requirements analysis, design, coding, configuration, unit testing, integration, and validation.
- Implement software in compliance with MISRA C and AUTOSAR coding guidelines, and resolve findings from static-analysis tools.
- Bring up and debug MCAL drivers on FPGA and silicon using Lauterbach, iSystem, or similar embedded debug tools.
- Collaborate with SoC architecture, hardware, platform software, functional safety, validation, and tools teams on clocks, resets, interrupts, DMA, memory maps, and peripheral integration.
- Integrate MCAL components with AUTOSAR BSW stacks and configuration environments, and develop automated unit, integration, and regression tests.
What you'll need
- 4-6 years of embedded software development experience, including hands-on AUTOSAR MCAL or low-level driver development.
- Strong embedded C programming skills with practical knowledge of pointers, memory-mapped I/O, interrupts, concurrency, and linker or startup concepts.
- Experience developing or integrating MCAL modules and working with AUTOSAR specifications and configuration workflows.
- Understanding of MCU subsystems including clocks, resets, interrupt controllers, DMA, timers, watchdogs, communication peripherals, and memory interfaces.
- Working knowledge of ISO 26262 software development practices and safety-oriented engineering deliverables.
- Experience with hardware bring-up and debugging using Lauterbach, iSystem, J-Link, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar equipment.
