Embedded Software Engineer (C/C++)

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 #J-18808-Ljbffr
