Job Summary
We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer to join our ADAS HMI team within the Interactive Experience this role you will define the architecture and technical direction for production software on automotive System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms thatpowersdriver-facing alerts controls and situational-awareness experiences. You will also build the next generation of our drivermonitoringsystem from the ground up. You will lead complex multi-team systems that process ADAS and vehicle data while meeting demanding requirements for latency reliability startup time compute memory security safety and maintainability.
The ideal candidate is a recognized SoC software expert whooperateswith broad latitude in a complex environment turns ambiguous cross-domain requirements into practical system designs and drives critical workstreams from concept through vehicle launch.This role is focused on SoC software; experience building and deploying machine-learning models on resource-constrained edge devices is a strong differentiator.
Job Responsibilities
Define and evolve end-to-end SoC architecture spanning ADAS data producers vehicle interfaces operating-system services middleware hardware accelerators and downstream HMI applications.
Architect and build a next-generation drivermonitoringsystem from the ground up spanning camera and sensor inputs on-deviceperceptionand inference driver-state interpretation vehicle interfaces diagnostics and HMI integration.
Lead the design and development ofproductionSoC applications and services using C/C including data processing state management inter-process communication and platform integration.
Translate ambiguous product vehicle safety and system requirements into practical cross-domain designs with clear boundaries interfaces data flows timing budgets diagnostics failure modes and validation strategies.
Drive architecture reviews and align teams on technical trade-offs involving performance memorycompute startup behavior security safety reliability and long-term maintainability.
Own complex multi-team workstreams through design implementation integration performance tuning vehicle validation release launch support and maintenance.
Establish architecture and engineering practices for reliable low-latency pipelines that collect normalize and expose ADAS and vehicle data to multiple on-device consumers.
Foresee integration and delivery risks across ADAS algorithmperception HMI platform systems safety and vehicle integration teams; develop mitigation plans and remove critical blockers.
Define quality standards and release criteria across related SoC codebases including code review static analysis automated testing performance benchmarking observability and structured release processes.
Diagnose and lead resolution of complex cross-system issues involving IPC scheduling memory use concurrency operating-system behavior hardware acceleration and vehicle integration.
Develop practical technology roadmaps for SoC services and edge-compute capabilities across vehicle programs and platform generations.
Mentor senior and mid-level engineers on SoC architecture C/C development performance analysis system debugging execution discipline and cross-team technical leadership.
Communicate technical direction risks trade-offs and deliverystatus clearlyto senior engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.
Job Qualifications
Bachelors degree or Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science Software Engineering Computer Engineering Electrical Engineering or a related technical field with 58 years of relevant software engineering experience; or equivalent practical experience with 1012 years delivering production software.
