Where we place embedded engineers

From BSW configuration to field data.

Typical mandates we staff for Tier-1 suppliers, OEMs and industrial manufacturers.

AUTOSAR Classic — BSW & application

BSW configuration, COM stack, MCAL integration and stack porting between MCU platforms — the daily business of our profiles.

MICROSAREB tresosBSW

ADAS & sensor fusion

Multi-object tracking, Kalman filtering and object lists in modern C++ — on target ECUs, not on the bench.

C++KalmanRadar/Camera

Diagnostics & bus systems

UDS diagnostics, CAN and CAN-FD communication, LIN and automotive Ethernet — implemented and tested on real ECUs.

UDSCAN-FDLIN

Safety & connected industry

ISO 26262 safety cases and FMEA, ASPICE-aware development — plus embedded software for Industry 4.0 devices on the shop floor.

What good looks like

Engineers who know a demo from a series ECU.

Screened for series-production realities: deadlines, review culture and safety discipline.

01
Target-hardware debugging — real experience with trace tools, HIL rigs and coverage targets, not only PC simulations.
02
Stack-level depth — candidates can name the modules they owned inside the AUTOSAR stack and explain the porting pain.
03
Code discipline — MISRA-aware C, review culture and version control that survives an audit.
04
Relocation support such as German courses, flights or temporary housing is agreed per employer and written into your offer.

Why Velai for embedded vetting

Embedded vetting that asks the questions that matter.

Stack-level technical screens

Conversations led by people who know AUTOSAR: module ownership, BSW vs. application, MCAL porting, integration limits.

Real hardware, real answers

Questions about debugging on target, HIL setups and code coverage separate builders from slide-deck authors.

Safety-culture check

For ISO 26262 roles we test safety-case thinking: assumptions, verification — and what happens when the analysis disagrees with the deadline.

Honest language levels

English verified for international teams; German stated per profile.

From request to relocation in four steps.
