We are seeking a
Principal SoC Base Software Engineer - Core OS
to lead the architecture, development, and integration of foundational operating system components for next-generation automotive SoC platforms. As part of the Base Software (BSW) Engineering team at Stellantis, you will play a critical role in enabling high-performance, safety-critical software for advanced vehicle systems including ADAS, Infotainment, Connectivity, and centralized compute domains.
This role focuses on core OS architecture, hypervisor integration including QNX Hypervisor and Android Guest Virtual Machine (GVM) IPC frameworks, and hardware abstraction across complex multicore environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Define and implement embedded software architecture for the core OS layer on advanced SoC platforms
Lead development of kernel-level components, including memory management, task scheduling, and system services
Design and
optimize
inter-process communication (IPC) stacks across heterogeneous multicore environments
Integrate and
validate
high-speed interfaces, including PCIe, SGMII, RGMII, and USB
Lead Board Support Package (BSP) development and support board bring-up for complex SoCs
Work with RTOS, Linux, QNX, QNX Hypervisor, and Android GVM to enable virtualization and system partitioning
Collaborate with security, hardware, and system teams to ensure compliance with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434
Debug and
optimize
OS components to meet real-time, memory, and performance requirements
Contribute to secure boot and system initialization in coordination with bootloader and platform teams
Support CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and Agile development methodologies
Basic Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Computer Science
, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
A minimum of 10 years of experience in embedded software development with a focus on OS internals and platform architecture
Strong C/C++ programming skills and deep knowledge of embedded OS architecture
Proven experience with BSP development and SoC board bring-up
Experience with high-speed interfaces (PCIe, SGMII, RGMII, USB) and low-level driver development
Expertise
in IPC mechanisms, multicore scheduling, and real-time optimization
Hands-on experience with Linux, QNX, QNX Hypervisor, and Android GVM
Proficiency
with
scheduling, memory management, file systems,
system-level debugging tools and performance tuning
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's degree in Computer Science
, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
Experience with embedded virtualization technologies and domain isolation for mixed-criticality systems
Familiarity with Device Tree,
Yocto
, and embedded Linux configurations
Knowledge of automotive safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434)
Experience working on ASIL-B/D safety-
rated
systems
