About TheRole

We're seeking an Embedded SW Engineer to play a critical role in building the backbone of next-generation in-vehicle experience and autonomous driving systems. In this role, you will develop and optimize core applications running on in-vehicle embedded Linux platforms—ensuring they're fast, secure, and rock-solid reliable.

You'll work closely with cross-functional teams across system software, in-vehicle infotainment, autonomous driving, and cloud infrastructure to bring scalable and robust mobility intelligence to life. If you're passionate about embedded systems, love working close to the hardware, and want to help power the future of autonomous vehicles, we’d love to hear from you.

Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain Linux-based in-vehicle applications for infotainment and autonomous driving systems.
  • Collaborate with hardware and firmware teams to integrate system-level components across real-time and user-space applications.
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and boot times of embedded Linux platforms. - Debug complex system-level issues across middleware, kernel, and user-space applications.
  • Contribute to system architecture and software design reviews, ensuring security, modularity, and scalability.
  • Work closely with QA to define test strategies and ensure high code quality.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience developing applications for embedded Linux systems. - Strong programming skills in C/C++ and/or Rust. Experience with Python and shell scripting is a plus.
  • Experience with inter-process communication (IPC), systemd, and POSIX APIs. - Familiarity with Linux build systems (e.g., Yocto, CMake, Make, Bazel).
  • Solid understanding of system resource management, memory handling, and threading.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and ability to debug low-level software.
  • Passion for autonomous vehicles, robotics, or mobility innovation.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with automotive platforms, autonomous driving stacks, Android Automotive OS (AAOS) or Robot Operating System (ROS).
  • Experience with profiling and optimizing Linux system performance.
  • Knowledge of vehicle network protocols (CAN, LIN, Automotive Ethernet).
  • Contributions to open-source Linux or embedded projects.
