MCAL Validation Lead Engineer - Embedded System
📌Bengaluru, India 🇮🇳
⏱︎ full-time
🧙♂️ senior
on-site
Work Mode : WFO
Experience : 4-8 years
Job Overview
This role is focused on validating and verifying embedded device drivers-specifically MCAL (Microcontroller Abstraction Layer) software components within AUTOSAR-compliant systems. The engineer will lead efforts in test planning, automation, and execution to ensure quality and functional safety for automotive or safety-critical embedded applications.
The position requires a deep understanding of embedded systems, device drivers, and hardware-software interaction, along with experience in validation tools, real-time debugging, and functional safety standards like ISO 26262. The candidate will also contribute to the development and maintenance of CI/test automation frameworks, working closely with hardware and software teams.
This role suits experienced engineers looking to lead validation activities in a technically challenging and standards-driven environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and contribute to the validation of MCAL (Microcontroller Abstraction Layer) software components as per AUTOSAR standards.
- Plan, design, and execute test cases for device drivers and embedded systems software.
- Develop and maintain test automation frameworks and continuous integration (CI) environments.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams for debugging and analysis using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, NI FPGA, LabView, and other bench tools.
- Ensure compliance with safety standards such as ISO 26262, AUTOSAR, and IEC61508.
-
Work with embedded development tools - compilers, debuggers, static analyzers, etc.
- Hands-on experience in embedded software development and validation.
- Strong programming skills in C and Assembly, with good understanding of the SDLC.
- Experience in MCAL development/testing in an AUTOSAR environment.
- Proficiency with scripting languages like Python, Perl, or C#.
- Exposure to real-time systems and 16/32-bit computer architectures.
- Familiarity with development toolchains like GNU, Tasking, WINDRIVER.
- Experience with test and measurement tools : oscilloscopes, power benches, LabView, NI FPGA.
-
Exposure to functional safety standards : ISO 26262, IEC61508.
-
Candidates from non-automotive domains with strong embedded experience are also welcome.

Senior Embedded Software Engineer
@ Embedd 
What we're looking for
At embedd.it, we power hardware-software integration in embedded devices. We turn fragmented semiconductor chip data into configurable digital twins, then deterministically generate code, tests, and documentation – making integration faster, cheaper, and resilient to supply chain shocks.
We’re looking for a true legend – someone with abstract thinking and deep expertise in low-level software development. You’ll build vendor-agnostic tooling for MCU and peripheral integration to solve hardware-software integration once and for all. We work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generation, compilers, and machine learning. It’s your chance to help redefine how low-level development is done.
Responsibilities
- Drive the architecture of the driver structures and system layout
- Define scalable patterns for cross-architectural integration across bare-metal, Zephyr, Linux, and other environments
- Deconstruct complex SoC device trees and translate hardware descriptions into structured internal models for automated reasoning
- Partner with the ML team to shape data and annotation models for AI-driven data-extraction tooling
Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and RTOS-based systems
- Proficiency in C/C++
- Familiarity with firmware configuration, SoC bring-up, and system-level debugging
- Hands-on experience with code generation tools, or low-level compiler/decompiler/emulator technologies
- Strong background in embedded toolchains: compilers, linkers, debuggers, and build systems
- Python or scripting for automation and tooling is a plus
- Experience with functional-safety standards is a plus
Why embedd.it?
- Dynamic, venture-backed team of engineers challenging the status quo 🚀
- Work at the intersection of embedded systems, code generators, compilers, and ML 🤖
- Unusual challenges requiring out-of-the-box abstract thinking 🧠
- Competitive compensation: cash + equity 💰
- Remote work possible 🌍
About Us
embedd.it is a UK-based startup reinventing embedded development. Our platform transforms unstructured semiconductor data into structured digital twins, enabling automatic generation of drivers, tests, and documentation. We're building a single, traceable source of truth to make integration fast, vendor-agnostic, and future-proof.
