System Design & Validation with SimuCoreX®

This growing complexity demands rigorous system validation, robust simulation, and advanced testing methodologies to address challenges in functional safety, integration, and compliance. At SimuCoreX®, we provide cutting-edge system design and validation solutions, leveraging digital twins, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), and data-driven analytics to accelerate development, reduce risks, and enhance product quality.

The Challenges of Automotive Software Development

Advanced ECU & HPC Architectures – Today’s vehicles integrate 100+ ECUs or centralized High-Performance Compute Platforms (HPCs) managing everything from powertrain control to ADAS, infotainment, and cybersecurity.

Over-the-air (OTA) updates and centralized compute architectures, SDVs decouple hardware from software, transforming vehicles into dynamic, upgradeable platforms. This shift demands modular, service-oriented architectures built on frameworks like AUTOSAR Adaptive, SOAFEE, Eclipse SDV, COVESA standards, or custom microservice stacks — enabling containerized deployment across heterogeneous hardware, fostering interoperability, and supporting continuous integration and cloud-edge collaboration.

Real-Time & Safety-Critical Systems – Automotive software must meet strict timing constraints for mission-critical functions like braking and steering while complying with ISO 26262 and ASPICE safety standards.

Connectivity & Cybersecurity – V2X communication, cloud-based AI, and predictive maintenance demand robust cybersecurity frameworks to protect against evolving threats.

AI & Machine Learning Integration – Sensor fusion, deep learning, and AI-driven decision-making power autonomous and driver-assist systems, necessitating extensive simulation and validation.

Multi-Layered Software Stack – From low-level firmware and middleware to AUTOSAR, Linux, QNX, and AI-based applications, modern vehicles require seamless software integration and rigorous validation.
