Job Title: AUTOSAR BSW Bootloader Engineer
Location: Auburn Hills, MI (Onsite)

Role Summary
The AUTOSAR Bootloader Engineer will be responsible for the development, integration, and validation of AUTOSAR-based Bootloaders for Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) .
This includes design and deployment of secure flashing and FOTA (Flashing Over The Air) capabilities, along with Cybersecurity (HSM, Secure Boot, Secure Flash) enablement using the ESCRYPT CycurHSM stack and ETAS iSOLAR-B configuration environment.
The engineer will collaborate closely with AUTOSAR BSW, platform, cybersecurity, and validation teams to deliver production-grade, safety- and security-compliant Bootloader solutions aligned with ASPICE, ISO 26262, and ISO 21434 standards.

Key Responsibilities:
Responsible for development and testing of AUTOSAR Bootloader for Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) projects.
Responsible for development and validation of FOTA (Flashing Over The Air) functionality for Vehicle Control Unit projects.
Support implementation and validation of Cybersecurity features Secure Flash, Secure Boot, and HSM integration on Vehicle Control and Motor Control ECUs using CycurHSM/CycurBOOT.
Implement and validate Memory Stack modules (FLS, FEE, NVM) within Bootloader architecture.
Implement and validate Communication Stack modules (CAN, CANIF, CANTP, DCM) to enable UDS-based reprogramming and diagnostics.
Configure and integrate AUTOSAR Bootloader architecture (Primary/Secondary) using ETAS iSOLAR-B, RTA-OS, and EB tresos for MCAL and memory configuration.
Integrate and test secure firmware update and validation mechanisms, including signature verification, key handling, and rollback protection through CycurHSM.
Develop and maintain Bootloader configuration documentation, Flash layout definitions, and interface specifications.
Debug and validate Bootloader functionalities using Trace32, CANoe, CANalyzer, GHS, and Infineon Memtool / UDE tools.
Coordinate with customer teams, support design reviews, and participate in ECU integration and production readiness activities.

Technical Competencies:
Strong knowledge of AUTOSAR architecture with focus on Bootloader, BSW, and Memory/Communication stacks.
Hands-on experience with ETAS iSOLAR-B, RTA-RTE, RTA-OS, and EB tresos configuration tools.
In-depth understanding of ESCRYPT CycurHSM / CycurBOOT for secure boot and key management.
Practical experience with FOTA, Secure Flash, and Secure Boot implementations.
Strong working knowledge of UDS (ISO 14229) and CAN / CAN-FD communication protocols.
Experience with Infineon AURIX TC2xx / TC3xx microcontrollers and HSM firmware integration.
Proficiency in Memory Stack modules (FLS, FEE, NVM) configuration and validation.
Expertise in Communication Stack modules (CAN, CANIF, CANTP, DCM) within Bootloader and BSW.
Good understanding of Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and Cybersecurity (ISO 21434) compliance processes.
Debugging and validation experience using CANoe, CANalyzer, Trace32, GHS, and similar embedded toolchains.
Familiarity with Git, SVN, ALM, and ASPICE documentation workflows.

Additional Skills:
Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical abilities for low-level embedded systems.
Clear communication skills for collaboration with internal and customer engineering teams.
Documentation accuracy and discipline aligned with ASPICE compliance.
Ability to take ownership of modules and deliver across multiple ECU programs
