Senior Embedded Software Engineer (C/C++)

Project 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

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

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

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

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

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

Skills

Must have

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

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
