SDV Platform Architect

A highly motivated SDV Platform Architect will play a pivotal role in developing cutting‑edge software platforms that enable software‑defined vehicles (SDV). The role involves designing and configuring the core software components of a vehicle’s operating system to ensure reliability, safety, security, and performance across diverse hardware platforms.

• Architect and configure the bedrock of SDV Platform systems, developing requirements that span all vehicle onboard modules. Create a hardware‑agnostic platform solution that works for uC and uP modules, including OS (hard and soft time) integration.
• Benchmark industry middleware solutions and configure BSW and AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive (and compatible open‑source alternatives) components such as SOVD, watchdog, and NVM to meet safety, security, stability, reliability, and performance goals.
• Design common services for cross‑domain applications and create a platform that is configurable across multi‑variant vehicles.
• Master debugging and problem‑solving: troubleshoot low‑level processor resets and software issues, identify root causes, and implement solutions.
• Optimize performance through strategic distribution of runnables across processor cores to maximize efficiency.
• Integrate custom device drivers and partner‑built platform software into the platform.
• Analyze and troubleshoot vehicle/powertrain behavior, determine root causes, validate corrective actions, and develop preventative measures.

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent education and experience.
• 5 years of experience testing/debugging automotive embedded systems and generating a real‑time environment (RTE).
• 5 years of Embedded C experience.
• 1+ year of Python and Rust scripting experience.
• 2 years of modeling, simulation, and testing.
• 2 years of AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive or open‑source BSW configuration or BSW/CDD development.
• 2+ years working with compilers, makefiles, software build, and CI automation.

• M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Experience distributing tasks and measuring CPU load in multicore architectures.
• Ability to train team on macSec configuration.
• macSec/Ethernet industry experience and proficiency in configuring, testing, and debugging macSec components.
• Familiarity with Agile/SAFe methodology.
• Experience working cross‑functionally.
• Prior knowledge of building an SDV platform for vehicles.
• Experience with configuration‑as‑code.

• Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new‑parent ramp‑up programs, and subsidized backup child care.
• Family‑building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more.
• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases.
• Tuition assistance.
• Active employee resource groups.
• Paid time off for individual and team community service.
• Generous paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
• Option to purchase additional vacation time.
