Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Ottawa Infotainment•Ottawa, ON

About The Position

At Ottawa Infotainment, we’re building the next generation of intelligent vehicle platforms: rethinking the digital cockpit through high-performance compute, embedded software, safety-critical systems, and AI-driven experiences. We are not a traditional Tier 1. We move fast, own the stack, and solve hard problems at the intersection of embedded systems, automotive, and product design. If you want to work on foundational technology that ships into vehicles, this is your role. We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help architect and develop the framework technologies underpinning DragonFire OS and next-generation domain controllers. This role is focused less on feature applications and more on core platform engineering. The software foundations others build upon.
