We are looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to develop system-level software for the automotive SoC of a next-generation Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) platform spanning IVI and ADAS domains.

This role focuses on system software below individual OS domains and enables the broader multi-OS SDV platform. You will work across secure boot and bootloader chains, power management and system startup, in-vehicle communication, and platform security. The role sits at the critical boundary between silicon and the software stack, supporting environments such as QNX, Linux, Android, and Adaptive AUTOSAR.

Depending on your experience and project needs, the role may focus more heavily on bootloader, communication, or security topics.
 

Key Responsibilities:

You will contribute across systems bring-up, networking, and platform security:

• Bootloader & Secure Boot:
  Define and implement secure bootloader architecture, including multi-stage boot flows, device tree integration, partitioning strategy, and A/B update mechanisms for automotive SoCs.
• System Bring-Up:
  Support hardware bring-up, software flashing and update mechanisms, and power-management software across SoC platforms.
• Vehicle Communication:
  Develop and integrate in-vehicle communication features including automotive Ethernet, CAN/Ethernet routing, time synchronization, and service-to-service communication across SoC domains.
• Platform Security: Design and implement platform security features such as TEE components, TrustZone partitioning, HSM provisioning, and secure communication mechanisms.
• BSP & Inter-Core Integration:
  Develop BSP-level components and integrate vendor libraries on the application-processor path; coordinate with the real-time core team on boot handoff and inter-core IPC.
• Standards & Cross-Team Collaboration:
  Apply ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 principles and collaborate closely with QNX, Linux, Android, external MCU, and real-time core teams.

Candidate Profile:
 

We are looking for a senior engineer who is comfortable working across bootloader bring-up, automotive networking, and platform security, with strong systems programming skills on SoC-class hardware.
 

Core Requirements:

• Embedded C/C++:
  Strong expertise in C/C++ for bare-metal, RTOS-based, and POSIX-based embedded systems on ARM SoCs.
• Boot Architecture:
  Experience with secure boot, multi-stage boot chains, and bootloader integration for hypervisor and OS images.
• Hardware Bring-Up:
  Proven experience bringing up automotive SoC platforms and validating hardware/software interfaces.
• Automotive Networking:
  Solid understanding of in-vehicle networking, including CAN, automotive Ethernet, routing, or time synchronization.
• Platform Security:
  Hands-on experience with security concepts such as Secure Boot, HSM, or key provisioning.
• POSIX & Systems Programming:
  Strong understanding of POSIX concepts including process management, IPC, threading, and system-level APIs.
   

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have):

• Experience with ISO 26262 (ASIL-B or above) and ISO 21434
• Knowledge of SOME/IP, DoIP, or DDS middleware
• Experience with QNX IPL, Linux, Android, or QNX Hypervisor boot integration
• Familiarity with ASPICE development processes
• Exposure to NPU/accelerator bring-up or inter-core monitoring concepts
• Awareness of UN R155 cybersecurity requirements
   

Why Join Us?

You will help shape the SoC system layer that every OS domain depends on—from the first stage of boot through to the secure communication and control mechanisms that connect IVI, ADAS, and vehicle network domains in a modern SDV architecture.

This is an opportunity to work across system bring-up, networking, and embedded security on a highly integrated automotive compute platform.
