Sr. Embedded Software Engineer - J0050764

Position Overview and Objective

Astemo's Advanced Development Division is hiring an Senior Engineer to develop embedded software for next-generation AD/ADAS platforms. This role focuses on developing platform capabilities that differentiate automotive-grade systems, including system-level power architecture, firmware design, and platform abstractions.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead board bring-up activities for new AD/ADAS high-performance compute hardware.
• Integrate device drivers for sensors, peripherals, and high-speed interconnects.
• Develop platform software capabilities that extend beyond vendor-provided baselines to meet the performance, reliability, and efficiency needs of automotive applications.
• Define and implement system-level strategies for managing platform resources across varying operating conditions and use cases.
• Develop and enhance firmware and low-level software components that improve platform behavior, responsiveness, and observability.
• Design and evolve platform abstractions that provide a stable, well-controlled foundation for middleware and application teams across hardware generations.
• Collaborate with hardware, SoC vendors, safety, and software teams to drive platform-level issues to closure, and mentor junior engineers on platform software topics.

Qualifications

• Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ (modern C++ preferred) and Python with experience in low-level systems software and firmware development on embedded platforms.
• Familiarity with embedded software development on Linux and/or RTOS environments.
• Solid understanding of SoC architectures, memory subsystems, interconnects, and the interaction between hardware and software layers.
• Practical experience integrating application software with platform-level services on embedded targets.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and analysis skills.
• Flexibility and willingness to work across multiple software layers as project needs evolve.
• Effective communication and presentation skills, with NVIDIA Drive OS and toolchain experience a plus.
• Experience with PCs and application software, such as MS Office tools, is also required.

Education and Experience

• Minimum of 5+ years with Masters and 1+ years with Ph.D. or relevant industrial experience is required.

Working Conditions

• Physical Demands: Required to sit or stand for long periods of time. The employee may occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds.
• Travel: Domestic and international may be required as needed. The candidate will occasionally need to travel to multiple global locations to support project development.
