Automotive software jobs in Germany.
From Indian ECUs to German roads.
German OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers are rebuilding their software stacks — AUTOSAR platforms, ADAS, diagnostics — and they hire embedded C/C++ engineers who have shipped ECUs. Velai places Indian engineers into those teams, visa and relocation included.

Why German automotive hires from India.
The vehicle is becoming software on wheels — and Germany's car industry needs embedded engineers faster than it can find them locally.
OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers
You work where vehicle software is written: car makers and the suppliers building the ECUs, control platforms and sensor systems around them.
Software-defined vehicles need hands
As vehicles become software on wheels, German automotive is scaling embedded teams — body, powertrain, chassis and increasingly ADAS.
Standards are the language
AUTOSAR, ISO 26262, ASPICE — German employers interview for standards discipline, not just coding. If you've delivered in process-heavy automotive programs, that is your edge.
Three roles fit embedded profiles best.
Where Indian embedded and automotive engineers typically land in Germany.
Embedded software engineer (AUTOSAR Classic)
Develop and integrate BSW modules, MCAL and communication stacks — CAN, CAN-FD, UDS diagnostics — for series ECUs.
ADAS / sensor fusion software engineer
Work on perception, sensor fusion and object tracking software that feeds driver assistance functions — C++ with real-time constraints.
Functional safety & diagnostics engineer
Own safety concepts and analyses under ISO 26262, or the diagnostics stacks (UDS, OBD) that keep series vehicles serviceable.
