Job Description:
Define build and implement embedded software architectures for automotive high-performance compute platforms. Aiming at structured modular scalable and robust BSP virtualization and in-vehicle networking layers across Linux Android and QNX with strong alignment to OEM specifications and automotive real-time startup and safety constraints.

Grade-Specific Responsibilities:

• Own end-to-end BSP bring-up and platform software delivery for automotive cockpit/IVI programs on Qualcomm automotive SoCs.
• Analyze OEM requirement specifications: review incoming requirements for completeness and consistency identify ambiguities and contradictions raise structured clarification questions to the customer and drive them to closure.
• Break down agreed requirements into software design implementation tasks and test criteria; maintain traceability from OEM requirement ID through to delivered feature.
• Design implement and debug virtualization solutions on the Gunyah hypervisor / qcrosvm guest VM provisioning device tree configuration VirtIO backends and device passthrough.
• Own the in-vehicle networking stack: automotive Ethernet VLAN segmentation IPv4/IPv6 addressing and routing gPTP time synchronization TC10 sleep/wake and SOME/IP service communication.
• Collaborate with system hardware validation and OEM/Tier-1 counterparts to align architecture and interface decisions.
• Root-cause cross-domain defects spanning hypervisor kernel drivers switch/PHY silicon and guest OS across Linux Android and QNX in the same stack.
• Support implementation guidelines review driver and platform design choices and mentor junior engineers.
• Ensure compliance with automotive constraints such as startup KPIs real-time behavior functional safety (ASIL classification) and inter-VM isolation and security.
• Represent the team in customer-facing technical reviews and OEM-level presentations.

Required Skills and Competencies:

• Strong Linux BSP background: kernel and device driver development device tree bootloaders Yocto and AOSP build systems.
• Vehicle networking depth: automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T1) managed switch and PHY configuration VLAN and multicast routing IPv4/IPv6 addressing (static and dynamic) packet forwarding and routing behavior network namespaces TSN/AVB and credit-based shaping gPTP synchronization TC10 SOME/IP and DoIP/diagnostics communication.
• Requirement analysis capability: proven experience reviewing OEM requirement documents (RFI/RFQ) spotting gaps and conflicting constraints and formulating precise technical clarification questions rather than assuming intent.
• Proven hands-on experience with embedded virtualization - Gunyah QNX Hypervisor KVM or crosvm including VirtIO and device passthrough concepts.
• Multi-OS experience: Linux Android QNX and RTOS environments.
• Production-quality C and C; Python and bash for tooling and automation.
• Practical low-level debug skills: JTAG logic analyzer/oscilloscope serial console triage and packet capture analysis (Wireshark tcpdump).
• Experience working in cross-functional teams (Sys HW SW) and interfacing directly with customers.
