Join the RISC-V Revolution at MIPS! 

Introduction:

We are looking for hands-on embedded software engineers to develop AUTOSAR-compliant MCAL components for next-generation MIPS RISC-V automotive real-time MCUs. You will work across driver development, hardware bring-up, safety-compliant engineering, integration, and validation for 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. 

• Create software design descriptions, configuration guidance, test specifications, traceability, and other required engineering work products. 

• 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 support system-level issue resolution. 

• Develop automated unit, integration, and regression tests and contribute to CI-based quality checks. 

• Participate in code reviews, design reviews, defect analysis, and continuous improvement of reusable MCAL components. 

What You Should Have 

• 4-6 years of embedded software development experience, including meaningful hands-on AUTOSAR MCAL or low-level driver development. 

• Strong embedded C programming skills and 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. 

• Good understanding of MCU subsystems including clocks, resets, interrupt controllers, DMA, timers, watchdogs, communication peripherals, and memory interfaces. 

• Experience with MISRA C, static analysis, code reviews, unit testing, and requirements-to-test traceability. 

• 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. 

• Experience with Git and scripting in Python or shell for build and test automation. 

• Ability to read hardware specifications and translate register-level behavior into reliable production-quality drivers. 

Good to Have 

• Hands-on use of EB tresos Studio, Vector DaVinci Configurator, or equivalent AUTOSAR configuration tools. 

• Experience with Vector, Elektrobit, ETAS, or another third-party AUTOSAR BSW stack. 

• Exposure to tools such as Polyspace, QAC, Tessy, Cantata, or equivalent static-analysis and unit-test solutions. 

• Knowledge of RISC-V architecture or experience moving MCAL software across MCU architectures. 

• Exposure to ASPICE, safety audits, tool qualification, customer delivery, or OEM/Tier-1 integration. 

• Experience with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, Ethernet, and SPI. 

What You'll Get 

• Opportunity to build MCAL software for a new RISC-V automotive MCU platform. 

• Direct collaboration with CPU, SoC, functional safety, validation, and platform software teams. 

• End-to-end ownership from specification and driver implementation through hardware validation and customer enablement. 

• A flexible growth path toward MCAL architecture, functional safety, platform leadership, or deep technical specialization.
