Embedded Infotainment BSW Engineer

About the Role:

We are seeking an accomplished Staff Embedded Software Engineer to play a key role in the development of next‑generation automotive infotainment platforms. As a Staff Engineer, you will provide both technical leadership and hands‑on expertise in the design, integration, and optimization of embedded software for instrument clusters, head‑up displays (HUDs), center displays, passenger seat displays, advanced audio systems, camera systems, and more.

This role focuses on software below the application layer—encompassing middleware, operating system integration, device drivers, and SoC hardware enablement—to deliver robust, high‑performance platforms that enable innovative in‑vehicle user experiences.

• Lead software development for embedded infotainment platforms, from requirements analysis through production release.
• Design, implement, and optimize low‑level software components, including drivers, board support packages (BSP), middleware, and OS services.
• Collaborate closely with hardware, system architecture, and application teams to enable platform features and ensure seamless system integration.
• Debug, diagnose, and resolve complex issues involving software‑hardware interaction, memory management, and performance bottlenecks.
• Ensure compliance with automotive standards, including ASPICE, ISO 26262, and cybersecurity best practices.
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical direction, architecture decisions, and code reviews.
• Work with cross‑functional global teams to meet project timelines and quality targets.

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• A minimum of 8 years of professional experience in embedded software development for infotainment or automotive platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ for real‑time, resource‑constrained, and safety‑critical systems.
• Hands‑on experience with Linux, QNX, or Android Automotive OS internals, including kernel, middleware, and device driver development.
• Solid understanding of SoC bring‑up and BSP development, including bootloaders, power management, and memory initialization.
• Proven experience with peripheral integration for infotainment systems (e.g., display controllers, GPUs, touch controllers, audio DSPs, connectivity modules, USB, CAN, Ethernet, PCIe).
• Ability to debug and resolve complex issues related to graphics performance, audio synchronization, system stability, and thermal/power constraints.
• Experience with Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, and communication stacks.
• Familiarity with automotive software development processes, version control (Git), CI/CD pipelines, and issue‑tracking tools.
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with hardware, HMI, multimedia, and systems architecture teams.

• Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline.
• A minimum of 10 years of embedded software experience, with demonstrated technical leadership in infotainment platform development.
• In‑depth knowledge of graphics and display technologies (e.g., OpenGL/ES, Vulkan, GPU drivers, compositor frameworks such as Wayland/Weston).
• Expertise in automotive audio frameworks (e.g., ALSA, Audio HAL, DSP integration, voice processing).
• Knowledge of Android HAL/VHAL development and integration with middleware stacks.
• Familiarity with IVI‑specific connectivity protocols (Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, Car Play, Android Auto, Mirror Link).
• Experience in system performance tuning, including boot‑time optimization, memory footprint reduction, and thermal/power efficiency improvements.
• Hands‑on work with virtualization and hypervisors in infotainment SoCs (e.g., Xen, AGL, QNX Hypervisor).
• Knowledge of functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity (ISO/SAE 21434) applied specifically to infotainment systems.
• Proven track record of working with SoC vendors (e.g., Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Renesas, NXP) to deliver integrated infotainment platforms.
• Experience leading cross‑functional design reviews, architectural decisions, and long‑term roadmap alignment for infotainment platforms.
