Sr. Staff SoC BSW Engineer – OS, Variant Management, Diagnostics, IPC Stack We are looking for a Senior Staff SoC BSW Engineer for a major OEM to lead the development, integration, and optimization of configurable base-software components for complex automotive SoC platforms. This role focuses on enabling scalable software through robust variant management, cross-domain inter-processor communication (IPC), and advanced diagnostics integration. About the Role Location: Detroit, Michigan (USA) Contract type: Full time, direct employment for client Benefits: Competitive rate; comprehensive health & well-being coverage; retirement savings plans; paid time off Responsibilities Lead design and implementation of scalable variant management strategies for multi‑ECU SoC platforms. Architect and develop IPC stacks (shared memory, SPI, UART, VirtIO) across heterogeneous cores/domains. Integrate and configure diagnostic services (UDS, DTC, DoIP) across multiple software partitions. Collaborate with feature owners, OS teams, and hardware stakeholders to ensure software consistency across variants. Define and manage feature flags, configuration switches, and guidelines for software reuse. Support both AUTOSAR and non‑AUTOSAR environments with configuration traceability. Debug and optimize IPC and diagnostics for latency, performance, and resource efficiency. Integrate diagnostics and IPC into CI/CD pipelines, simulation frameworks, and test automation. Ensure compliance with ISO 26262, ASPICE, and ISO/SAE 21434. Contribute to system design documentation, configuration guidelines, and team training.
