AUTOSAR Architecture Designer
Design AUTOSAR 4.x architectures with automated component mapping and compliance validation
What You Can Do
You can design complete AUTOSAR 4.x system architectures by automating component allocation across abstraction layers, modeling port interactions and service interfaces, and validating compliance with AUTOSAR standards. Claude helps you create standardized architecture documentation, detect circular dependencies and interface mismatches, and generate port interaction matrices—accelerating ECU architecture development while ensuring standards adherence.
Features
intelligently maps software components across application, RTE, and BSW layers based on functional requirements
defines service interfaces, creates port contracts, and visualizes data flow between components
identifies architectural flaws and interface mismatches before RTE code generation
checks designs against AUTOSAR 4.x standards and generates remediation recommendations
generates comprehensive communication mapping showing all component-to-component interactions
produces standardized schema guidance for architecture export and tool integration
creates clear architectural diagrams showing component relationships and layer separation
generates structured materials for team reviews and stakeholder sign-off

You can pinpoint the exact source of sensor fusion failures—whether they stem from misaligned camera/LiDAR/radar extrinsic calibration, timestamp desynchronization, data validation gaps, or algorithmic issues. This skill decomposes multi-modal perception errors into sensor-specific contributions and generates quantifiable diagnostic reports that directly guide calibration and testing teams toward fixes rather than blind troubleshooting.
You can validate AUTOSAR software architectures across multiple compliance dimensions—layer separation, component interfaces, port definitions, service interfaces, and communication semantics. The skill identifies structural violations, missing documentation artifacts, and compliance gaps early in the design phase, helping you catch issues before formal gates and functional safety audits. It generates architecture compliance reports and documentation needed for ISO 26262 functional safety reviews.
You can analyze multi-dimensional steering system performance including torque characteristics, self-alignment torque, steering angle feedback, road feel transmission, and torque vectoring effects. Extract actionable insights from simulation and test data to identify root causes of steering feel issues, then develop tuning recommendations for steering gear ratios, EPS algorithms, suspension geometry effects, and torque vectoring control strategies.
This skill helps you architect platform strategy by generating decision frameworks, prioritization matrices, and roadmap plans that account for developer ecosystem impact. You'll analyze tradeoffs between breaking changes, feature velocity, and technical debt to make confident platform decisions. It synthesizes developer feedback, competitive positioning, and business goals into actionable strategic outputs that your team can execute.
You can analyze FEA thermal simulation data to identify motor hotspots, calculate heat generation from motor losses across operating points, evaluate competing cooling solutions quantitatively, and troubleshoot excessive temperature rise during dyno testing. The skill helps you validate thermal management design margins, assess motor lifetime degradation risk, and optimize cooling loop efficiency—enabling data-driven thermal design decisions before building prototypes.
You can efficiently diagnose complex NVH concerns by working through a structured framework that correlates customer symptoms with potential powertrain failures. This skill helps you narrow diagnostic possibilities, recommend targeted testing sequences, distinguish between component failures and tuning issues, and substantiate warranty claims with technical evidence.
You can evaluate simulation scenarios against functional safety and SOTIF requirements, identify untested edge cases and high-risk operational design domains, map failure modes to root causes, and generate traceability matrices linking requirements to validation results. This skill transforms raw simulation data into defensible technical documentation that demonstrates test completeness and readiness for real-world deployment.
You can quantify sensor fusion performance across object detection, classification, tracking, and localization using standardized metrics. The framework helps you identify systematic failure modes in diverse environmental conditions, document safety-critical gaps, and generate structured evidence packages for ISO 26262 and SOTIF compliance. This enables you to benchmark sensor configurations, define perception KPIs, and support regulatory submissions with rigorous performance documentation.
