Automotive & e-Mobility Embedded Engineering

Engineering for the control units, embedded platforms and vehicle networks that carry modern vehicle and e-mobility functions.

Vehicle development combines electronics, platform software, communication and verification under tight process and safety expectations. CEVOLARION takes on defined parts of that work: a single technical problem, a development scope across disciplines, or an ongoing engineering service.

Engineering context of a vehicle control unit

A control unit function passes through every one of these steps. Work can start at any of them; highlighted steps are frequent entry points.

  1. Function and system requirementsWhat the vehicle function must do
  2. Control electronicsMicrocontroller, power, input/output
  3. Platform softwareDrivers, basic software, configuration
  4. Vehicle networkCAN, LIN, Ethernet
  5. IntegrationHardware, software, supplier parts
  6. HIL verificationEvidence for release

Where the engineering work sits

The agreed assignment determines which activities are included and where the responsibility boundary sits.

Control unit software and platforms

Low-level software, board support and platform configuration for control units, including AUTOSAR-related basic software, runtime environment and microcontroller abstraction work where the selected platform supports it.

Control electronics

Electronics concepts, schematic and PCB development, prototype bring-up and hardware verification, with power-electronics-related engineering where the assignment requires it.

Vehicle networks and interfaces

Communication configuration and integration on CAN, CAN FD, LIN and Ethernet, with measurement, calibration and diagnostic interfaces agreed for the platform.

Integration and verification

Hardware/software integration, requirement-linked testing and hardware-in-the-loop verification, supported by automated and repeatable test execution.

Safety- and process-aware engineering

Traceability, review discipline and organised evidence for engineering teams working under defined safety and process requirements. Applicable standards and approval roles are established for each assignment.

Typical starting points

  • A control unit programme needs platform software or board support before application teams can proceed.

  • Integration with supplier components is blocked by interface or configuration mismatches.

  • A release review needs test coverage and traceable evidence that the current team cannot produce in time.

  • A released platform must be adapted for another vehicle variant or customer while the core team moves on.

Capabilities most often involved

System & Software Integration

Integration planning, configuration and dependency management, with defect isolation across software, hardware and supplier boundaries.

How fit is assessed

Fit is assessed from the actual scope: the platform, the interfaces, the standards that apply and the responsibility the assignment carries. Engineering support does not confer organisational certification or approval authority.

Common questions

Do you work for vehicle manufacturers or for suppliers?

The engineering scope decides, not the position in the supply chain. Work can be agreed with a manufacturer, a system supplier or a technology company developing for the automotive market.

Can you support projects with functional safety requirements?

Safety-related engineering work can be supported within a clearly defined technical responsibility boundary. The applicable requirements, the safety responsibilities and the approval roles remain with the parties named in the assignment.

Can we see reference projects?

Customer projects and technical details are not used as marketing material without permission. Competence is established through direct technical discussion of your scope.

Discretion is part of the service.

Customer projects, organisations and technical details are not used as marketing material without permission. Fit is established through the scope, engineering methods, responsibility boundary and direct technical discussion.

Discuss a vehicle or e-mobility engineering scope.

Start with the product, standards and interfaces that shape the assignment. We will assess the required competence and responsibility together.
