Lead Embedded Software Engineer – Infotainment & Connectivity Platform

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Lead Embedded Software Engineer to lead the design, development, integration, and optimization of automotive infotainment and connectivity platforms. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in embedded software architecture, Board Support Packages (BSP), System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms, hypervisor-based systems, and low-level software development.

The candidate will be responsible for platform ownership, system integration, hardware-software interactions, and technical leadership across complex automotive embedded systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the architecture, development, integration, and maintenance of automotive infotainment and connectivity software platforms.

• Own platform-level software components, including BSP, bootloaders, device drivers, and hardware abstraction layers.

• Design and integrate embedded software solutions for automotive SoCs and heterogeneous computing platforms.

• Develop and maintain hypervisor-based environments supporting multiple operating systems or isolated software domains.

• Work with embedded operating systems, including Linux, QNX, Android Automotive OS, or other relevant automotive platforms.

• Drive hardware and software integration, platform bring-up, system configuration, and performance optimization.

• Troubleshoot complex issues involving boot sequences, memory management, hardware interfaces, and system stability.

• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, systems engineering, connectivity, and validation teams.

• Lead technical reviews, design discussions, root-cause analysis, and defect resolution.

• Establish platform software standards, coding guidelines, integration procedures, and regression strategies.

• Mentor engineers and coordinate technical deliverables across cross-functional teams.

• Support software releases, integration milestones, and production readiness activities.

Required Technical Skills

• 8+ years of embedded software development experience.

• Strong experience with automotive infotainment or connectivity platforms.

• Proven experience in BSP development, customization, integration, or maintenance.

• Strong understanding of embedded platform architecture and hardware-software interfaces.

• Hands-on experience with hypervisors, virtualization, or multi-OS embedded systems.

• Proficiency in C/C++ and embedded software development.

• Experience with embedded Linux, QNX, Android Automotive OS, or comparable operating systems.

• Knowledge of bootloaders, device drivers, kernel-level components, and hardware initialization.

• Experience with SoC bring-up, debugging, integration, and performance tuning.

• Familiarity with Git, code reviews, build systems, debugging tools, and software integration workflows.

Preferred Qualifications

• Automotive OEM or Tier-1 automotive supplier experience.

• Experience with automotive connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, USB, Ethernet, or cellular connectivity.

• Knowledge of automotive middleware, diagnostics, and communication frameworks.

• Experience with virtualization technologies such as Xen, QNX Hypervisor, or other embedded hypervisors.

• Familiarity with automotive development standards and functional safety concepts.

• Experience leading an embedded engineering team or owning a major platform component.
