MediaTek • San Jose, CA

75d

About The Position

The position involves investigating virtualization technologies, hypervisors, and operating systems specifically for automotive product lines. The candidate will be responsible for planning strategies for unified OS/BSP and virtualization solutions across various product lines including Cockpit, ADAS, and central compute SoCs. The role includes owning the integration of MTK's OS/BSP with OEM's base software according to the agreed software system architecture and setting up layered GITs. Additionally, the candidate will build technology for QAVF and improve device virtualization performance, develop technical solutions for OEMs based on RFQs/RFIs, and mentor senior-level engineers while collaborating with HQ teams to realize the software architecture. The position also requires developing, presenting, and articulating system-level solutions, as well as creating strategies and tooling infrastructures for system performance optimization. The candidate will provide tools and methodologies for profile-guided optimization and cross-domain/cross-VM profiling to support global-view debugging, along with high-resolution profiling.
