Senior Embedded Software Engineer – QNX OS & Hypervisor (Automotive, SoC)

We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer with strong QNX expertise to lead the design and delivery of the QNX real-time OS and hypervisor layer on the SoC of a next-generation Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform spanning IVI and ADAS domains.

On the high-performance SoC platform, QNX hosts safety-critical and real-time workloads alongside virtualized guests such as Linux, Android, and Adaptive AUTOSAR. In this role, you will work across QNX BSP integration, hypervisor configuration, and platform bring-up - ensuring deterministic behavior, secure partitioning, and reliable system startup.

This role combines both QNX OS and QNX Hypervisor engineering. The focus may lean toward OS or hypervisor topics depending on your experience and project needs.
 

Key Responsibilities:

You will work across platform development, real-time services, and virtualization:

• QNX Platform Development: Design and maintain QNX-based platforms; integrate BSPs, drivers, startup scripts, and middleware with reliability and performance in mind.
• Hypervisor Integration: Configure and optimize QNX Hypervisor, including VM topology, guest boot sequencing, CPU allocation, adaptive partitioning, shared memory, and device pass-through.
• BSP & Boot Optimization: Integrate BSPs and low-level drivers; optimize boot time, memory footprint, and real-time performance
• Security & Update Support: Apply core security concepts such as capabilities, sandboxing, and permissions; support secure boot and software update mechanisms.
• Cross-Platform Collaboration: Work closely with Linux, Android, and Adaptive AUTOSAR teams to define virtualization boundaries and ensure seamless integration across the SoC platform.
   

Candidate Profile:

We are looking for a senior engineer with a strong foundation in real-time systems and virtualization, combined with hands-on experience in QNX.
 

Core Requirements:

• QNX: 4+ years of experience with embedded QNX development, including strong POSIX, multithreading, and system-level programming in C/C++.
• BSP & Low-Level Integration: Experience working with BSPs, drivers, and low-level platform software.
• Tracing & Profiling: Hands-on experience with QNX tracing and profiling tools (e.g., System Profiler, tracelogger, or similar).
• Security Fundamentals: Understanding of capabilities, sandboxing, file permissions, and secure platform configuration.
• Embedded/Automotive Systems: Experience in automotive, or other safety-critical embedded systems.
   

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Experience with QNX Hypervisor (bring-up, VM configuration, guest lifecycle management)
• Knowledge of networking (TCP/IP, SOME/IP), DDS, or automotive middleware
• Experience with OTA/update orchestration and secure boot integration
• Familiarity with Yocto/Linux in mixed SoC environments
• Understanding of ISO 26262 (freedom-from-interference) and ASPICE processes
• Experience with automated testing frameworks (CTest, Robot Framework, PyTest)
   

Why Join Us?

You will shape the real-time and virtualization foundation of a modern automotive SoC platform - enabling IVI, ADAS, and platform services to run safely and efficiently on a shared compute architecture.

This is an opportunity to work at the intersection of real-time systems, virtualization, and automotive software, building a robust SDV platform with modern engineering practices.
