Program Overview: What is Software-Defined Vehicles and Automotive SPICE Corporate Training?
Software-Defined Vehicles & Automotive SPICE is Edstellar's instructor-led program for automotive software and systems teams moving to software-defined platforms. Participants cover SDV architecture, vehicle middleware and communication, the Automotive SPICE process model, requirements engineering and traceability, and verification and testing. The program closes with a capstone: a CI/CD and over-the-air delivery pipeline.
Training is hands-on across all 24 hours, with engineers working SDV architectures and SPICE processes in guided labs. Teams model vehicle software architectures, trace requirements through the SPICE process model, design verification strategies, and build delivery pipelines in supervised sessions. Instructors review every artifact with direct feedback, testing both the engineering and the process evidence an assessment would demand. The 4-hour capstone builds a CI/CD pipeline with over-the-air delivery for a vehicle software stack.
Vehicle programs struggle where software meets process: architectures that cannot update safely, requirements nobody can trace, and assessments that expose gaps too late. This program teaches teams to engineer SDV platforms with the process discipline SPICE assessments require. Every technique is practiced in labs, so the team builds both working software and defensible evidence.
Over-the-air delivery is the promise of the software-defined vehicle, and the capstone makes the team earn it. Engineers build a CI/CD pipeline that takes vehicle software from commit to safe over-the-air deployment, with SPICE-aligned process evidence along the way. The team leaves with a working delivery pipeline and the process knowledge to pass the assessments their programs will face.
Across six modules, your team moves from SDV architecture to an Automotive SPICE assessment-readiness capstone. Sessions use realistic vehicle software scenarios, middleware exercises, and traceability labs, so every process transfers directly to your program.
Delivered as an instructor-led program, it fits around your calendar, with scheduling set along with you, and content tailored to your vehicle platforms and assessment scope.

Software-Defined Vehicles and Automotive SPICE Course Topics and Program Outline
Six modules follow a clear learning path from SDV architecture to OTA delivery, ending in an Automotive SPICE readiness capstone. Each session builds on the last, with hands-on labs that turn architectures, processes, and tooling into day-one engineering habits.
Built by Edstellar with automotive software and SPICE assessors
Built by SDV architects and Automotive SPICE assessors who ship software-defined vehicle platforms in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
Baseline each participant's SDV and ASPICE readiness before module 01 begins
Build strong software-defined vehicle and Automotive SPICE foundations in instructor-led sessions
Reinforce skills through guided hands-on labs on middleware, traceability, and CI/CD toolchains
Apply SDV and ASPICE skills to real assessment scenarios and a capstone OTA delivery project
A short pre-training assessment sets each participant's entry level, so the program starts where your team actually is. The rest is weighted toward hands-on practice: guided labs on middleware, traceability, and assessment evidence, plus realistic scenarios drawn from your team's work, not slides.

Teams that Benefit from this Software-Defined Vehicles and Automotive SPICE Group Training
This program is built for automotive software and systems teams moving to software-defined platforms, from embedded engineers to architects and quality managers. Participants should have professional software or systems engineering experience; ASPICE knowledge is not assumed, and content adapts to each cohort's platform and assessment goals.
Write vehicle software to process and to standard.
Software engineers master SDV architectures, middleware integration, and the SPICE work products their code must produce, so delivery speed and compliance improve together.
Workflow friction
- Requirements and code drift apart mid-program
- Assessment findings arrive too late to fix cheaply
- Middleware and platform changes break integration
How the program helps
- Trace work products cleanly to requirements
- Enter assessments with capability-level evidence
- Integrate middleware without late surprises
Practice use cases
- SPICE work products
- Integration labs
- Assessment preparation
Architect the vehicle as a software platform.
Architects learn to design zonal and central-compute systems with service-oriented communication, and to justify platform decisions with structured evidence.
Workflow friction
- ECU sprawl drives cost and complexity
- Architecture choices are hard to justify to programs
- OTA and lifecycle planning treated as afterthoughts
How the program helps
- Design zonal architectures with evidence
- Justify platform choices with data
- Plan the software lifecycle from day one
Practice use cases
- Architecture design
- Platform trade-offs
- OTA strategy
Run SDV programs that pass assessments.
Program and quality managers learn to scope ASPICE assessments, track evidence as work progresses, and hold suppliers to verifiable process criteria.
Workflow friction
- Assessment scope and evidence feel unclear
- Quality gates slip as software scope grows
- Supplier SPICE claims are hard to verify
How the program helps
- Scope assessments with confidence
- Track quality evidence as work progresses
- Audit suppliers against real criteria
Practice use cases
- Assessment scoping
- Quality metrics
- Supplier audits
Each cohort works through role-relevant lab exercises, then leaves with SPICE-aligned work products they can reuse on their program.
Prerequisites: Participants should have professional software or systems engineering experience, ideally in automotive or embedded domains. Familiarity with C or C++, basic software testing, and version control helps, though core concepts are built from the ground up. Teams targeting assessments should bring their current process documentation for the readiness exercises.
Automotive Engineer to SDV Program Lead
The program takes automotive professionals from vehicle software fundamentals to SDV leadership: foundation software architectures, intermediate middleware and compliance, then advanced SPICE assessment and platform strategy.
Engineers grow from vehicle software fundamentals to owning SDV architecture and SPICE compliance as the modules progress.
Mixed cohort, or several teams at once?
We can tailor the training to different teams, roles, and experience levels within the same program.

Connect Vehicle Software Delivery With Traceable Processes and Verification Evidence
Edstellar develops SDV capability through architecture, middleware, process, and delivery exercises. Teams connect requirements to verification, examine Automotive SPICE work products, and design a staged software-delivery pipeline. Review focuses on consistent traceability, supported process evidence, and a clear explanation of integration and update decisions in a model vehicle program.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess software or systems experience, embedded familiarity, and vehicle-program responsibilities to identify priorities in middleware, process evidence, traceability, verification, and OTA delivery.
- Step 02
Plan
SDV architecture leads into communication, Automotive SPICE processes, requirements, and verification before an integrated CI/CD and staged over-the-air delivery design.
- Step 03
Align
Automotive software and process expertise supports experienced engineers, matching technical depth to embedded backgrounds and responsibilities for requirements, integration, and assessment evidence.
- Step 04
Customize
Simulated vehicle functions and a fictional development program provide realistic communication and delivery cases without connecting to operational vehicles or releasing vehicle software.
- Step 05
Execute
Teams configure SOME/IP and DDS interactions, debug integration, and assemble assessment evidence, receiving feedback on traceability, verification coverage, and staged-update design.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the pipeline and evidence pack for coherent requirements-to-test links, justified integration choices, clear process support, and an explainable approach to staged updates.
