Job Description

  • We are seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with strong experience in QNX and/or Android device driver development, board bring-up, and low-level hardware integration on Automotive IVI and Connectivity ECUs. This role focuses on platform enablement, driver development for multimedia/connectivity subsystems, complex HW/SW debug, and production-readiness support through DV and end-of-line phases.


Responsibilities:

  • 1. Platform Bring-Up & Device Driver Development
  • ● Lead board bring-up activities on Qualcomm SoC-based IVI / connectivity platforms
  • ● Develop and debug kernel/device drivers and BSP components (QNX or Android/Linux)
  • ● Enable core subsystems (boot chain, clocks/resets, storage, power sequencing) needed for platform readiness
  • ● Collaborate with HW teams on schematic/DT review and interface validation
  • 2. Hardware-Software Integration & Debugging
  • ● Debug complex HW/SW interaction issues across drivers, firmware, and peripherals
  • ● Perform root-cause analysis using tracing/logging and lab instrumentation; drive issues to closure
  • ● Partner with suppliers and cross-functional teams to resolve platform defects and unblock integration
  • 3. Cross-ECU Coordination & Platform Services
  • ● Support integration topics spanning IVI ECU and connectivity/MCU components (e.g., power and wake coordination)
  • ● Define and document low-level interfaces, assumptions, and bring-up checklists to improve repeatability
  • 4. Production Readiness & Validation Support
  • ● Support DV/PV and manufacturing readiness (flashing, diagnostics hooks, stability fixes, performance tuning)
  • ● Improve observability and robustness (error handling, watchdogs, recovery paths) for production deployments
  • ● Provide on-site/remote support during critical integration builds and validation events as needed
  • 5. Technical Leadership & Best Practices
  • ● Mentor engineers and contribute to design/code reviews with an emphasis on quality and maintainability
  • ● Drive best practices for driver architecture, testing strategies, and documentation
  • ● Continuously improve bring-up workflows, tooling, and automation where applicable


Mandatory Skills Description:

  • ● 10+ years of embedded software development experience
  • ● Strong experience in QNX (7.1/8.0) or Android BSP / Linux kernel development
  • ● Hands-on experience with Qualcomm automotive SoCs (e.g., SA8155P, SA8255P, or similar)
  • ● Experience developing and debugging kernel drivers and/or HAL layers (C/C++)
  • ● Board bring-up experience including bootloaders, device trees, and low-level initialization
  • ● Deep understanding of interrupts, DMA, memory mapping, clocks/resets, and power management
  • ● Strong hardware debug skills using logs, tracing, and lab tools (e.g., JTAG)


Other skills:

  • ● Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills for complex embedded systems
  • ● Clear written and verbal communication; able to align across hardware, software, and validation teams
  • ● Collaborative mindset; effective in cross-functional and cross-company environments
  • ● Ownership-driven execution with a high bar for code quality, documentation, and reviews
  • ● Ability to mentor engineers and establish best practices for bring-up and debugging


Nice-to-Have Skills Description:

  • ● Experience in automotive IVI / digital cockpit systems
  • ● Experience with multimedia subsystems (audio, display, camera) and/or connectivity (USB, Ethernet, BT/Wi‑Fi)
  • ● Experience supporting DV, PV, and EOL / manufacturing phases
  • ● Familiarity with NXP S32K microcontrollers and cross-ECU power coordination
  • ● Experience with FreeRTOS or microcontrollers
  • ● Safety awareness: familiarity with ISO 26262 concepts
