About The Position

Collaborate directly with customers (e.g., automotive OEMs, Tier-1s, embedded product teams) to understand their system architecture and audio use cases, analyze hardware and software requirements, propose and help implement QNX audio solutions that fit their system design. Integrate silicon provider audio divers into the QNX audio framework involves aligning vendor supplied hardware drivers with the QNX Sound Architecture. Design and implement new features inside the QNX audio framework, including security policy-driven audio features to meet automotive safety requirement, audio concurrent management to meet UX requirement. Design, integrate and optimize audio processing algorithms, audio latency performance within the QNX Sound Architecture to ensure compatibility with UI frameworks like Qt, Android components (e.g., Audio HAL), and 3rd-party audio stacks or middleware. Working with various internal groups -such as Bluetooth, BSP, Multimedia, Acoustics to enhance, extend and evolve the QNX audio framework for broader functionality and better performance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree or foreign degree equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering or related field and seven (7) years of experience in a related role or job offered or related role.
Design and implement scalable audio features within the QNX Sound Architecture, including low-level system integration and feature expansion.
Align vendor-supplied hardware drivers with embedded sound architectures across diverse platforms and chipsets.
Implement safety-compliant audio features and manage concurrent audio streams to meet automotive-grade UX and regulatory requirements.
Tune audio processing pipelines and minimize latency across heterogeneous hardware environments.
Ensure seamless integration with Qt, Android Audio HAL, and third-party audio stacks for UI and system interoperability.
Develop audio features governed by security policies, aligned with automotive safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
C and C++ to implement stateful, scalable audio components within QNX, including memory-safe and performance-critical code.
JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and profilers to diagnose and optimize embedded audio systems.
GDB to triage, reproduce, and resolve complex audio-related software issues in real-time environments.
Work directly with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and embedded product teams to analyze system designs and deliver tailored QNX audio solutions.
