Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and integration of real-time OS and hypervisor platforms (e.g., QNX, Linux, QNX Hypervisor) for safety-critical automotive SoCs
Architect safety mechanisms including memory protection, task isolation, watchdogs, and diagnostics in accordance with ASIL-B/D requirements
Develop and configure low-level OS services and drivers for peripherals such as UART, SPI, PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, and LVDS
Work with BSPs, bootloaders, and platform middleware to support SoC board bring-up and safety-critical feature enablement
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, system, cybersecurity, and application software) to define and validate safe platform architectures
Debug and optimize embedded software using tools like JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and profilers
Integrate cybersecurity features into the OS and hypervisor stack, ensuring safe and secure startup, runtime isolation, and resource partitioning
Write scripts (Python, Shell) and develop CLI tools to support performance analysis, automation, and system validation
Ensure traceability, compliance, and delivery of ISO 26262 work products including software safety requirements, architecture, and verification plans
Support CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies in an Agile development environment
Contribute to documentation, peer reviews, safety audits, and ASPICE-aligned software development processes
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
A minimum of 10 years of experience in embedded software development, including a minimum of 5 years in safety-critical systems
Deep expertise in C/C++, embedded OS architecture, and low-level driver development
Strong understanding of real-time OS (RTOS), Linux, QNX, and hypervisors in automotive systems
Proven experience with ISO 26262 software development lifecycle, including ASIL decomposition, FMEA, and safety architecture
Familiarity with SoC architectures, MPU/MMU configuration, inter-core communication, and safety partitioning
Hands-on experience with board bring-up, BSP integration, and embedded debugging tools
Preferred Qualifications
Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Experience working with QNX Hypervisor, Android GVM, or similar virtualization platforms in embedded systems
Familiarity with Yocto, Device Tree, and embedded Linux system configuration
Knowledge of ISO/SAE 21434 cybersecurity and its application to safety-relevant software
Experience in unit test automation, system-level validation, and fault injection testing
Proficiency in scripting (Python, Shell) and CI tools for safety validation and regression testing
Background in automotive communications (CAN, Ethernet, LIN) and diagnostics (UDS, DoIP)
Benefits Salaried Employee Benefits (US, Non-Represented)
Health & Wellbeing: Comprehensive coverages encompassing the Physical, Mental, Emotional, and overall Wellbeing of our employees, including short- and long-term disability.
Compensation, Savings, and Retirement: Annual Incentive Plan (SAIP), 401k with Employer Match & Contribution (max 8%), SoFi Student Loan Refinancing.
Time Away from Work: Paid time includes company holidays, vacation, and Float/Wellbeing Days.
Family Benefits: 12 Weeks paid Parental Leave, Domestic Partner Benefits, Family Building Benefit, Marketplace, Life/Disability and other Insurances.
Professional Growth: Annual training, tuition reimbursement and discounts, Business Resource & Intra-professional Groups.
