区域软件架构师 Zone Software Architect

Aufgaben

• Act as the technical lead and software domain architect for the ZCU (Zone Control Unit) platform, responsible for defining, governing and evolving the end-to-end software architecture & software technical solution within the specified time, quality and cost targets.
• Define the ZCU software domain architecture and platform solution, covering layered architecture (application, service, middleware, OS), and ensure alignment with the zone-oriented E/E architecture and vehicle network topology.
• Make and govern key technical decisions across the full software stack, including but not limited AUTOSAR AP/CP Platform, hypervisor, middleware (SOA, SOME/IP, DDS, IPC), and vehicle-grade communication (CAN/CAN-FD, Ethernet, LIN).
• Lead architecture reviews, technical evaluations and trade-off analyses; identify, escalate and resolve architectural risks, dependencies and technical blockers to secure SW delivery.
• Steer the technical direction together with engineering team in a matrix setup & lead for implementation from technical wise, and ensure architecture conformance and quality across components.
• Collaborate cross-domain with vehicle architecture, E/E architecture, cyber security, functional safety and domain teams to confirm interface definitions, service decomposition and design matching.

1. Act as ZCU Software domain Architect & Technical Lead:

• Define, document and govern the ZCU software architecture (layered architecture, service decomposition, middleware, OS) for the zone control unit platform
• Make and steer key technical decisions across AUTOSAR AP / hypervisor and vehicle communication (CAN/CAN-FD, Ethernet, SOME/IP, SOA)
• Conduct architecture reviews, trade-off analysis and technical evaluations; ensure architecture conformance and quality

2. Steer the technical direction of the engineering team in a matrix setup & lead for implementation:

• Identify, escalate and resolve architectural risks, dependencies and technical blockers to secure SW delivery

3. Cross-domain & supplier collaboration:

• Align ZCU architecture with vehicle E/E architecture, cyber security and functional safety teams
• Support surrounding development processes and architecture governance to cover the complete lifecycle of continuous implementation, integration and testing

Qualifikationen

Education

• Bachelor or above in computer science, electrical engineering, automotive engineering, or a related field.

Experience

• 8+ years of experience in embedded software development, with 3+ years as software domain architect or technical lead for automotive domain controller / zone controller products.
• Solid experience in E/E architecture and zone-oriented vehicle network design; deep understanding of ZCU/zone controller software platform and solution.
• Proven track record of defining and governing software architecture across a heterogeneous tech stack.
• Deep knowledge of automotive operating systems and platforms: AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive, hypervisor and virtualization.
• Strong understanding of vehicle communication protocols: CAN/CAN-FD, Automotive Ethernet, SOA, SOME/IP, LIN, and middleware/service frameworks.
• Familiar with automotive software processes and methods, e.g. ASPICE, Agile/Scrum; understanding of functional safety (ISO 26262) and cyber security (ISO 21434) is a plus.
• Experience in SW supplier technical management: architecture evaluation, solution alignment, planning, progress and risk management.
• Experience with model-based and architecture description tools (e.g. Enterprise Architect, PREEvision, UML/SysML).
• Strong analytical and decision-making skills; able to steer technical direction in a matrix organization without direct line management.
• Excellent verbal and written English capability.
