Automotive Software
Engineering
Production-grade embedded software for vehicle platforms, from ECU bring-up to SOP.
Automotive software engineering demands solutions that meet AUTOSAR compliance, ISO 26262 functional safety, and ASPICE process maturity under tight vehicle program timelines. We deliver embedded software that survives these realities, with traceability and qualification evidence generated as part of normal development.

Full software engineering coverage
Automotive programs typically involve XWARE when:
SOP Pressure
Software integration issues threaten start of production. Features pass unit tests but the system is unstable.
Supplier Gaps
Tier-2 software arrives with interface mismatches, undocumented assumptions, or incomplete verification evidence.
ASPICE Findings
Assessments expose SWE gaps, broken traceability, or insufficient qualification data for target capability levels.
Platform Migration
Transition from Classic to Adaptive AUTOSAR, or porting legacy software to new MCU/MPU platforms while preserving behavior.
Resource Scaling
Internal teams are saturated and require engineers who can contribute immediately without extended ramp-up.
What Typically Breaks
Without disciplined automotive software engineering:
Late Integration Failures
Software units pass tests but fail during integration due to drifting or ambiguous interface definitions.
Variant Explosion
A single ECU becomes multiple vehicle variants. Configuration control collapses and regression becomes unmanageable.
Qualification Evidence Gaps
Coverage reports exist but are not traceable to requirements. MC/DC or release-build evidence is missing.
Toolchain Fragmentation
AUTOSAR tools, modeling environments, and test frameworks operate independently, preventing a single source of truth.
What We Deliver
XWARE provides focused automotive embedded software delivery across the full V-model.
Application Software
Control algorithms, diagnostics (UDS), state machines, and feature logic. MISRA-compliant and fully traceable to requirements.
Basic Software & Integration
AUTOSAR Classic BSW configuration, Adaptive platform services, RTE generation, and integration of third-party communication, diagnostics, and memory stacks.
Low-Level Drivers & HAL
MCAL configuration, complex drivers for sensors and actuators, hardware abstraction layers, including register-level debugging when silicon vendor code fails.
Bootloaders & Flashing
Secure boot sequences, OTA update mechanisms, OEM-compliant flashing procedures, and robust recovery modes.
Verification & Qualification
Unit tests with structural coverage, integration test specifications, and requirements-based qualification artifacts aligned with ASPICE and ISO 26262 expectations.
Vehicle Domains
ASPICE Software Engineering
Functional Safety: ISO 26262 Part 6
- Software safety requirements derivation
- ASIL-compliant design and implementation
- Freedom-from-interference analysis
- Software tool qualification support
Coding & Quality
MISRA C/C++, AUTOSAR C++14, CERT C. Static analysis integration with managed rule deviations.
Toolchain Fluency
We integrate with your existing automotive toolchain. We do not force tool changes.
From concept to production
Embedded in Your Processes
We operate within OEM and Tier-1 development gates, change control, and release management.
Interface-First Integration
Interfaces are locked before implementation. Software architecture aligns with system design to avoid late integration surprises.
Continuous Verification
Static analysis and unit tests on every commit; integration and HIL testing executed continuously.
Evidence as a Byproduct
Traceability, coverage, and qualification artifacts are generated during normal work, not reconstructed before audits.
Representative Experience
H₂ Fuel Cell ECU
Embedded software organization ramp-up, MBD-based drivers, AUTOSAR platform integration, HIL benches, supplier coordination.
AUTOSAR BSW Platform
Multi-instance AUTOSAR templates, vVirtualTarget and CANoe-based integration and qualification.
PHEV Fuel System
Production-intent application software, model-based design, complex drivers, vehicle-level integration and testing.
Examples are representative and anonymized to respect client confidentiality.
