Role : System Architect - ADAS

The System Architect – ADAS will be responsible for defining, developing, and integrating system-level architectures for advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous driving features. This role bridges hardware, software, and algorithmic domains, ensuring the system meets performance, safety, and regulatory requirements.

Key Responsibilities

Define the end-to-end system architecture for ADAS functions (e.G., adaptive cruise control, lane keeping, parking assist, AEB, etc.).

Lead system decomposition into hardware, software, and algorithmic components.

Develop system-level requirements and ensure traceability through design, implementation, and validation.

Work closely with cross-functional teams (sensors, perception, fusion, controls, software, hardware, and test).

Evaluate and integrate sensor suites (camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonic, GNSS, IMU, etc.) within the vehicle architecture.

Define communication architectures (CAN, Ethernet, LIN, FlexRay) and ensure robust data flow between ECUs and sensors.

Support functional safety and SOTIF (ISO 26262 / ISO 21448) activities, ensuring compliance with ASIL targets.

Participate in model-based system engineering (MBSE) and architecture modeling using relevant tools such as Enterprise Architect, SysML etc.

Define cybersecurity requirements in line with ISO / SAE 21434.

Support prototype development, system integration and design reviews.

Collaborate with OEM and Tier-1 partners for system design alignment.

Qualifications :

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical, Electronics or Computer Science Engineering.

7+ years of experience in ADAS / Autonomous Driving Systems or related automotive embedded systems.

Strong understanding of ADAS architectures, sensor fusion, and vehicle networks.

Hands-on experience with AUTOSAR or middleware frameworks.

Knowledge of Functional Safety (ISO 26262) and SOTIF (ISO 21448) processes.

Experience with requirements management tools (e.G., DOORS).

Familiarity with real-time systems, embedded software, and hardware-software co-design.

Excellent analytical, communication, and system-thinking skills.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
