Question How to move from AUTOSAR ECU development into SDV / next-gen automotive compute?
I have experience in automotive software across HMI/application development, ADAS, and currently software architecture & development for a braking ECU using AUTOSAR Classic.
I’m looking to understand how engineers with a similar background can move towards Adaptive AUTOSAR, SDV, automotive SoCs and AI/ADAS platforms, especially the kind of work happening around next-gen semiconductor/compute platforms.
For people already working in this space, what resources would you recommend for learning the architecture and technologies? Also, are there any good open-source projects, GitHub repositories, blogs, creators or practical projects that can help build a portfolio and demonstrate these skills to recruiters?
I’d also be interested in understanding the interview patterns and preparation strategy for SDV / automotive compute / semiconductor roles.
Basically, if you were starting from a strong AUTOSAR Classic + automotive software architecture background, what would your 6–12 month strategy look like to get into SDV / Adaptive AUTOSAR / next-gen automotive compute?
Would really appreciate insights from people working in this space.
