About The Position

Lead software development for embedded infotainment platforms, from requirements analysis through production release.
Design, implement, and optimize low-level software components, including drivers, board support packages (BSP), middleware, and OS services.
Collaborate closely with hardware, system architecture, and application teams to enable platform features and ensure seamless system integration.
Debug, diagnose, and resolve complex issues involving software-hardware interaction, memory management, and performance bottlenecks.
Ensure compliance with automotive standards, including ASPICE, ISO 26262, and cybersecurity best practices.
Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical direction, architecture decisions, and code reviews.
Work with cross-functional global teams to meet project timelines and quality targets.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• A minimum of 7 years of professional experience in embedded software development for infotainment or automotive platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for real-time, resource-constrained, and safety-critical systems.
• Hands-on experience with Linux, QNX, or Android Automotive OS internals, including kernel, middleware, and device driver development.
• Solid understanding of SoC bring-up and BSP development, including bootloaders, power management, and memory initialization.
• Proven experience with peripheral integration for infotainment systems (e.g., display controllers, GPUs, touch controllers, audio DSPs, connectivity modules, USB, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe).
• Ability to debug and resolve complex issues related to graphics performance, audio synchronization, system stability, and thermal/power constraints.
• Experience with Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, and communication stacks.
• Familiarity with automotive software development processes, version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and issue-tracking tools.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with hardware, HMI, multimedia, and systems architecture teams.

Nice To Haves
