About the team
Embedded Engineering Capability: Empowering Innovation in the World of Embedded Software.
Join Accenture to shape a future looking Software-Defined Vehicle Platform that unifies Linux, Android, QNX, AUTOSAR & Adaptive AUTOSAR into one powerful developer ecosystem, sustaining innovation in ADAS and Infotainment, building safe, secure, and continuously upgradable vehicles.
How you will make an impact
Define and maintain the safety architecture for a complex SoC SW platform, covering low-level software including hypervisor integration, bootloader, and OS-level components.
Key Responsibilities
Derive and allocate safety requirements from system level down to SW components
Design safety mechanisms for freedom from interference (FFI) across partitions, cores, and privilege levels
Own the SW safety architecture in the context of hypervisor-based virtualization (e.g. QNX Hypervisor integration)
Maintain the hardware–software interface (HSI) definition and support integration with SoC safety features (MPU/MMU, ECC, lockstep cores, etc.)
Collaborate with developers on safe bootloader design, integrity checking, and startup/shutdown sequences
Contribute to safety analyses and review SW implementation against architectural intent
What We're Looking For
7+ years of experience on a similar role
Deep understanding of ISO 26262 Part 6 (SW) and Part 4 (system-level context)
Hands-on experience with SoC platforms in safety-relevant projects — understanding of hardware safety features matters here
Experience with hypervisor architectures (QNX, Xen, or similar) in safety or mixed-criticality contexts
Low-level SW background: bootloaders, bare-metal, RTOS, or OS internals
Able to bridge the gap between system safety requirements and what's actually implementable
