This is a high-impact role that provides broad technical leadership within a fast-growing team.

Tasks

  • Technical Program Leadership:Lead key embedded software development projects, ensuring timely delivery by managing requirements, risks, milestones, and dependencies, with a strong emphasis on safety and compliance.
  • Software Architecture Design:Develop and implement software architectures to integrate ML-based AD solutions into L2-L3 automotive applications, ensuring seamless integration with OEM environments and sensor systems.
  • Collaborative Development:Work closely with machine learning engineers, software developers, system engineers, and product managers to refine the embedded software architecture.
  • Safety & Compliance:Ensure compliance with ISO 26262 functional safety standards, ASPICE processes, and other automotive safety regulations.
  • Code Base Management:Maintain a scalable, robust, and compliant embedded software codebase to support rapid development and future scalability.
  • Real-Time Systems Development:Design, develop, and maintain real-time applications for Linux-based and QNX-based embedded systems, focusing on data collection, storage, and edge-based machine learning inference.
  • Fault Tolerance & Diagnostics:Implement fault-tolerant software solutions with comprehensive diagnostics for real-time issue detection and resolution.
  • Mentorship & Leadership:Provide technical mentorship to engineers, lead design reviews, and foster a culture of engineering excellence within the team.

Requirements

  • Proven Experience:Extensive background in developing and deploying safety-critical automotive embedded software using C++.
  • Automotive Compliance:Strong understanding of ASPICE-compliant SDLC processes and ISO 26262 functional safety standards.
  • AUTOSAR Expertise:Experience in designing and implementing embedded software using the AUTOSAR architecture.
  • Technical Leadership:Demonstrated ability to lead large-scale technical programs and cross-functional teams.
  • Strong Communication:Ability to articulate complex technical and business concepts to both engineering and non-engineering stakeholders.
  • Educational Background:Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Programming Expertise:Proficiency in both C++ and Rust for embedded software development.
  • Advanced Degree:Master’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
  • Embedded Systems Experience:Strong background in developing software for Linux, QNX, or other automotive embedded operating systems.
