Job Description

Senior Technical Lead - Post-Silicon Validation & RTOS SDK (Automotive Real-Time MCU) (Pune/Bangalore - India)
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
