About this role
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 development of automotive DC/DC Converter products within the e-Mobility domain. The ideal candidate combines strong AUTOSAR Classic architecture expertise with a solid embedded software background. Previous experience with DC/DC converters, On-Board Chargers (OBC), Inverters, Battery Management Systems (BMS), or other power electronics/e-Mobility ECUs is highly preferred.
Please note that this opportunity is available exclusively on a freelance/contractor basis (B2B engagement). We are currently not considering permanent employment applications for this role.
What you'll be doing
- Define and maintain the AUTOSAR Classic Software Architecture for DC/DC Converter ECUs.
- Translate system requirements into SW architecture, AUTOSAR SWCs, interfaces and technical concepts.
- Define the interaction between Application SW, RTE, BSW and MCAL.
- Define SWCs, ports/interfaces, runnable entities, task mapping and ECU communication concepts.
- Perform AUTOSAR architecture development and configuration using Vector DaVinci Developer and DaVinci Configurator.
- Configure and integrate Vector MICROSAR BSW modules and stacks.
- Define and support configuration of:
Communication & Network Management
- Diagnostics
- Memory
- AUTOSAR OS
- ECU State Management
- Watchdog
- Crypto / Security
- Support RTE generation, BSW configuration and ECU configuration workflows.
- Analyze and resolve ARXML, configuration, integration and generation issues within the AUTOSAR toolchain.
- Define interfaces between AUTOSAR software and DC/DC power electronics control/application software.
- Support communication and diagnostics based on CAN/CAN-FD, UDS and XCP.
- Drive architectural decisions regarding real-time behavior, performance, memory, safety and resource utilization.
- Support SW integration, debugging and complex cross-layer problem solving.
- Collaborate with System, Functional Safety, Hardware, BSW, Application SW, Integration and Test teams.
- Ensure compliance with Automotive SPICE and ISO 26262 requirements.
