About The Position

Our client, a leader in autonomous and assisted driving, is hiring a Vehicle Software Platform Engineer to design and build scalable application and middleware components for next-generation vehicle software systems. You'll develop core software modules, middleware, and integration layers that connect vehicle operating systems, compute platforms, and sensor data to high-level driving functions — writing production-quality C++ and Python that runs on in-vehicle systems.

Requirements

• 3–5+ years of relevant software engineering experience.
• Strong C++ AND Python programming skills.
• Hands-on system software development (drivers, filesystems, sockets) on Linux and/or QNX.
• Solid understanding of embedded software/systems and interfaces such as Ethernet and CAN.
• Proven track record shipping production software in automotive, aerospace, defense, robotics, or a nearby embedded domain.
• Strong debugging and troubleshooting; a generalist who dives deep fast and learns continuously.
• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field highly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement application- and middleware-level software features for advanced driving (AD/ADAS) and connected vehicle platforms.
• Develop and maintain C++ and Python modules that interface with sensors, compute nodes, and vehicle systems.
• Contribute to system integration, debugging, and optimization on Linux- and QNX-based environments.
• Set up or adapt build flows and related tooling.
• Collaborate across software, hardware, and systems teams; participate in code reviews and release processes for production software.
