Autosar Software Architect

Who We Are We don’t just develop embedded software — we engineer intelligence into products. The Embedded Competence Center at NTT DATA Romania brings together experts in embedded systems, firmware development, and hardware–software integration, delivering robust and high-performance solutions for complex, safety-critical environments.

With strong expertise in C/C++, AUTOSAR, real-time operating systems, and communication protocols, we design scalable embedded architectures, integrate software seamlessly with hardware, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Across the industries we support — from Automotive and Industrial Automation to Smart Devices and IoT — we transform reliable embedded technology into a foundation for innovative, dependable products.

We are looking for an experienced AUTOSAR Software Architect to support the architecture and development of automotive display systems, with a strong focus on Instrument Clusters and Head-Up Displays (HUD). The ideal candidate has previous hands-on experience with cluster/HUD products and a strong understanding of AUTOSAR-based embedded architectures.

What you'll be doing Define and maintain the software architecture for Instrument Cluster / HUD ECUs. Design and integrate AUTOSAR Classic components and interfaces. Define SW component architecture, interfaces, communication concepts, and dependencies between application, middleware, and BSW layers. Support AUTOSAR BSW configuration and integration, including communication, diagnostics, memory, OS, and network management.

Define architecture for communication with vehicle networks: CAN/CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, UDS, etc. Collaborate with graphics/HMI, application, BSW, system engineering, and hardware teams. Analyze system and software requirements and translate them into scalable architectural solutions. Support technical decisions regarding performance, startup/boot time, functional safety, cybersecurity, and resource utilization.

Support integration, debugging, and resolution of complex cross-component issues. Participate in architecture reviews and ensure compliance with ASPICE and automotive development processes.

What you'll bring
