- Collaborate with the Application SW team to validate integration of drivers, middleware, and boot-time configuration.
- Work with the Verification & Release teams to integrate customer hardware into our validation and CI/CD toolchain, including HIL rigs, logging interfaces, and automated test infrastructure.
- Interface with OEM and Tier 1 engineering teams to support hardware-specific integration issues during development and validation.
- Enable system-level diagnostics, logging, and introspection on target hardware.
- Support secure boot configuration, flashing workflows, and factory provisioning steps required for deployment.
- Drive automation and scripting efforts for system setup, flashing, hardware health checks, and test execution on target hardware.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in embedded or automotive software development, ideally with hands-on platform bring-up experience.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++, Bash, and Python.
- Deep understanding of Linux-based embedded systems (Yocto, systemd, bootloaders, device trees).
- Familiarity with QNX and Adaptive AUTOSAR environments and the ability to configure and debug them on target hardware.
