Summary

Hi,

My name is Deepankar, and I am a Sr. Recruiter with LinQ Global. I am reaching out regarding an exciting Principal Engineer-Linux, Middleware & ROS 2 — Vehicle Compute Systems opportunity

If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact me directly at and send me a copy of your updated resume.

I’d like to share a brief overview of the position:

Role: Embedded Linux Engineer (ROS2 Exp)

Location: Mountain View, CA

Duration: 18 months

Job Description:

. About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Staff / Principal Engineer to architect and lead the Linux platform and middleware layer of advanced vehicle compute systems supporting autonomous driving and ADAS applications.
The role focuses on integrating ROS 2, communication middleware, networking, and Linux operating systems to deliver reliable, scalable, and high-performance vehicle computing platforms.
The ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in modern C++, Linux internals, ROS 2, DDS middleware, and system-level architecture. This individual will own the technical roadmap, establish engineering standards, drive platform architecture, and provide technical leadership across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams.
This is a hands-on technical leadership role requiring active involvement in software development, platform integration, performance optimization, and debugging across multiple layers of the technology stack.
2. Key Responsibilities
A. Platform Architecture & Technical Leadership
Architect and lead the design of Linux-based vehicle compute platforms.
Define scalable and modular interfaces between autonomy/ADAS applications and underlying hardware.
Own the platform technical roadmap and drive architectural decisions.
Provide technical oversight across software, hardware, and systems engineering teams.
Mentor senior engineers and establish engineering best practices.
B. ROS 2 & Middleware Architecture
Lead ROS 2 architecture, including nodes, processes, executors, callback groups, QoS policies, and lifecycle management.
Define DDS middleware architecture, vendor selection, discovery mechanisms, and performance tuning.
Optimize middleware data paths for low-latency and high-bandwidth sensor and control data.
Implement shared-memory and zero-copy communication mechanisms.
Establish standardized APIs and data interfaces for application development.
C. Linux Systems & Real-Time Performance
Lead Linux platform architecture and system-level optimization.
Drive kernel configuration and real-time performance optimization using PREEMPT_RT.
Optimize scheduling policies, CPU affinity, isolation, cgroups, memory management, and interrupt handling.
Perform system profiling and debugging using tools such as perf, ftrace, and eBPF.
Address performance bottlenecks involving latency, memory, CPU utilization, and inter-process communication.
D. Modern C++ & Software Engineering
Establish modern C++ (C++17/20) coding standards and architectural guidelines.
Drive API design, code reviews, static analysis, and software quality practices.
Establish unit testing standards using GoogleTest (gtest) and GoogleMock (gmock).
Ensure automated testing and quality checks are integrated into CI pipelines.
Promote reusable, maintainable, thread-safe, and memory-efficient software design.
E. Networking & Systems Integration
Architect networking across Ethernet, CAN, UDP/TCP, and higher-level protocols.
Define network communication and time-synchronization strategies.
Lead integration of sensors and compute devices into the middleware stack.
Establish system requirements, interface definitions, latency budgets, bandwidth budgets, and failure-mode analysis.
Resolve complex issues spanning application software, ROS 2, DDS, Linux kernel, drivers, and networking.
F. Testing & Platform Validation
Define Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing strategies.
Establish simulation-based validation and automated performance profiling.
Drive platform diagnostics, health monitoring, and fleet-wide performance optimization.
3. Mandatory Requirements
Candidates should demonstrate strong hands-on experience in the following areas:
Experience: 8+ years of software engineering experience, including architecture and technical leadership of complex systems.
Automotive: Professional experience delivering software for automotive platforms, ECUs, or in-vehicle computing systems.
Modern C++: Expert-level C++14/17/20 programming, including templates, RAII, concurrency, multithreading, and memory-efficient design.
Linux Systems: Deep experience with Linux kernel and user-space internals, scheduling, memory management, IPC, and platform bring-up.
ROS 2: Hands-on production experience with ROS 2 architecture, nodes, executors, callback groups, lifecycle management, and QoS.
DDS Middleware: Experience with DDS-based communication, discovery, middleware integration, and performance optimization.
Networking: Strong understanding of Ethernet, CAN, UDP, TCP, and higher-level protocols such as gRPC, RTP, and HTTP.
Software Testing: Practical experience with GoogleTest, GoogleMock, unit testing, and CI-based automated testing.
SDK Architecture: Experience designing SDK APIs and integrating third-party or silicon-vendor SDKs, BSPs, and middleware.
System Architecture: Ability to define system interfaces, latency and resource budgets, and analyze complex cross-layer failure modes.
Leadership: Demonstrated ability to lead technical architecture, mentor senior engineers, and collaborate across software, hardware, and systems teams.
Python & Build Systems: Working knowledge of Python, CMake, and colcon-based build systems.
