Software Engineer – QNX RTOS & Hypervisor

We are looking for a Software Engineer with deep expertise in QNX real-time operating systems and hypervisor technologies to join our automotive platform team. In this role, you will architect and configure the virtualization layer that enables multiple operating systems to coexist safely and efficiently on a single SoC-a critical enabler of modern vehicle compute platforms. 

Your work will define how compute resources are partitioned, how guests are isolated, and how the entire system boots and operates with deterministic, real-time guarantees. 

Key Responsibilities 

You will be the domain expert for QNX and hypervisor integration across the platform: 

• QNX BSP Development: Develop and maintain the QNX Board Support Package, ensuring optimal hardware abstraction and peripheral access for the real-time operating system. 

• QNX Hypervisor Configuration: Configure and integrate the QNX Hypervisor, defining the virtualization topology that hosts multiple guest operating systems on a shared SoC. 

• Host System Configuration: Set up the QNX Host environment including BSP integration, module integration, virtualization configuration, shared memory management, network configuration, and pass-through device configuration. 

• Guest Integration: Configure and integrate guest operating systems with precise core allocation, adaptive partitioning, core pinning, resource sharing policies, and startup sequencing. 

• System Optimization: Tune real-time performance, memory footprint, and inter-partition communication to meet strict automotive timing and safety requirements. 

Candidate Profile 

We are looking for an engineer who understands real-time systems at a fundamental level and has hands-on experience with hypervisor-based architectures. 

Core Requirements: 

• QNX RTOS: Strong hands-on experience with QNX Neutrino, including kernel internals, resource managers, and real-time scheduling. 

• QNX Hypervisor: Proven experience configuring and deploying QNX Hypervisor in multi-guest environments, including virtual machine management and resource partitioning. 

• Systems Programming: Proficiency in C/C++ for systems-level development on real-time platforms. 

• Virtualization Concepts: Deep understanding of hardware-assisted virtualization, shared memory, pass-through I/O, and inter-partition communication. 

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have): 

• Functional Safety (FuSa): Experience with ISO 26262 and safety-relevant software development, particularly freedom from interference concepts. 

• ASPICE: Familiarity with Automotive SPICE processes and V-model development lifecycle. 

• Multi-OS Environments: Experience integrating Linux, Android, or AUTOSAR guests alongside QNX in a hypervisor setup. 

Why Join Us? 

The hypervisor is the backbone of next-generation vehicle compute architecture. In this role, you will determine how safety-critical, real-time, and general-purpose workloads coexist on a single chip-solving one of the most challenging problems in modern automotive software engineering.
