Role Summary:
This position supports customers developing Zone Controllers and Body ECUs, with a focus on AMCU-based systems and AUTOSAR CP–related integration topics. The role emphasizes system understanding and customer-facing execution rather than deep AUTOSAR development.
Responsibilities:
Support customer projects involving Zone Controller and Body Controller architectures.
Provide technical guidance on AUTOSAR CP concepts, configuration, and integration.
Assist with AMCU peripheral usage, system bring-up, and embedded software debugging.
Act as a technical liaison between customer development teams and internal engineering groups.
Support on-site customer debugging sessions and regular technical reviews.
Help customers adopt reference designs, demos, and recommended system architectures.
Requirements:
4–8 years of experience in automotive embedded or customer-facing technical roles.
Practical experience with Automotive MCUs and AUTOSAR CP–based projects.
Understanding of automotive E/E architectures and Zone Controller concepts.
Familar with CAN/LIN/ETH, security and safety.
Good knowledge of ECU-level system integration (HW/SW interaction).
Strong communication and coordination skills.
Fluent technical English.
Automotive semiconductors and secure embedded solutions
NXP Semiconductors designs and sells semiconductor chips for vehicles and other devices. Its products include automotive-grade microcontrollers and other ICs used in engines, infotainment, safety systems, and networked car architectures. These chips process data, run software, and enable features such as advanced driver assistance and vehicle connectivity, often with strong security and real-time performance. Unlike some peers, NXP became an independent company after Philips spun off its semiconductor unit in 2006 and later merged with Freescale in 2015, building a focused strength in automotive semiconductors and microcontrollers. This gives it a clear niche in the market and the goal of growing as a standalone leader in smarter, connected vehicles and related technologies.
