Who We Are
We don’t just develop embedded software — we engineer intelligence into products. The Embedded Competence Center at NTT DATA Romania brings together experts in embedded systems, firmware development, and hardware–software integration, delivering robust and high-performance solutions for complex, safety-critical environments. With strong expertise in C/C++, AUTOSAR, real-time operating systems, and communication protocols, we design scalable embedded architectures, integrate software seamlessly with hardware, and ensure compliance with industry standards. Across the industries we support — from Automotive and Industrial Automation to Smart Devices and IoT — we transform reliable embedded technology into a foundation for innovative, dependable products.
We are looking for an experienced Software Architect / GC Responsible Architect to take ownership of the Graphic Controller (GC) software architecture for an automotive Instrument Cluster. The role focuses on VAS architecture, GC task model, INTEGRITY/ACE platform, high-level system mechanisms, and multicore architecture on a Renesas ARM Cortex-A7 based platform.
What you'll be doing
Own and maintain the Graphic Controller software architecture.
Define and coordinate the architecture of the different VASs and their interaction with the Base System.
Define the GC task model, including processes, threads, priorities, scheduling, CPU affinity, and startup dependencies.
Define high-level system mechanisms such as IPC/RPC, synchronization, shared memory, resource management, error handling, and system supervision.
Design and optimize the software architecture for multicore execution.
Ensure proper integration between VASs, ACE, INTEGRITY OS, middleware, and application/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.
What you'll bring along
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.
Strong 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.
Experience with Automotive Instrument Cluster, Digital Cockpit, or Infotainment systems is nice to have.
Green Hills MULTI / INTEGRITY development experience is nice to have.
Knowledge of graphics/HMI architectures is nice to have.
Experience with MMU, shared memory, cache management, and inter-core communication is nice to have.
Automotive SPICE / ISO 26262 knowledge is nice to have.
