Software Architect – Graphic Controller

About the role

We are looking for an experienced Software Architect to own the Graphic Controller (GC) software architecture for an automotive instrument cluster. The role focuses on VAS architecture, GC task model, INTEGRITY/ACE platform, and multicore execution on a Renesas ARM Cortex‑A7 based platform.

Key responsibilities

• Own and maintain the Graphic Controller software architecture.
• Define and coordinate the architecture of VASs and their interaction with the Base System.
• Specify the GC task model, including processes, threads, priorities, scheduling, CPU affinity and startup dependencies.
• Design high‑level system mechanisms such as IPC/RPC, synchronization, shared memory, resource management, error handling and system supervision.
• Optimize the software architecture for multicore execution and ensure proper integration between VASs, ACE, INTEGRITY OS, middleware and HMI components.
• Analyze system‑level issues related to CPU load, memory, timing, synchronization and performance.
• Support software integration, debugging, system bring‑up and architectural reviews.
• Collaborate with HMI, platform, integration, hardware and system teams.

Required profile

• Strong experience in embedded software architecture and development.
• Strong knowledge of C/C++.
• Experience with RTOS‑based architectures, preferably Green Hills INTEGRITY.
• Good understanding of ACE or comparable automotive middleware/platform architectures.
• Deep knowledge of processes, threads, scheduling, IPC, synchronization and memory management.
• Experience with multicore embedded systems, CPU affinity and resource allocation.
• Good understanding of ARM Cortex‑A architectures, ideally Cortex‑A7.
• Experience with Renesas automotive controllers/SoCs is highly desirable.
• Strong system‑level debugging and performance analysis skills.
• Familiarity with automotive instrument cluster, digital cockpit or infotainment systems is a plus.
