About the role

This is a senior individual contributor role at a leading luxury EV manufacturer, responsible for designing and delivering the foundational software layers - BSP, low-level drivers, and vehicle communication stacks for next-generation automotive infotainment and domain controller platforms.

Responsibilities

• Lead board bring-up activities for automotive SoCs (Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Renesas, TI) and architect Linux/QNX BSPs including kernel configuration and customisation
• Develop and optimise bootloaders (U-Boot, LK) for fast, reliable system startup
• Design and implement device drivers (SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, USB, display, audio, networking)
• Optimise system performance across boot time, CPU/memory usage, and power management
• Define and implement vehicle communication stacks supporting CAN/CAN-FD/LIN, Automotive Ethernet (100/1000BASE-T1), SOME/IP, DoIP, and TCP/IP-based services
• Design gateway and domain controller communication architectures and develop vehicle abstraction layer (VAL) and service interfaces for middleware and Android Automotive
• Integrate diagnostics (UDS/OBD-II) and vehicle health monitoring systems
• Lead hardware-software integration and system bring-up, collaborating with silicon vendors and Tier-1 suppliers
• Debug complex system issues using JTAG, oscilloscopes, CAN analysers, and kernel logs
• Define modular, scalable platform architecture across vehicle programs and lead design reviews and architecture governance
• Mentor engineers and drive best practices in CI/CD, code quality, and platform reuse

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in embedded systems and automotive software
• Strong expertise in Linux BSP development and kernel internals, with hands-on device driver experience
• Deep understanding of vehicle communication protocols: CAN, Automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, DoIP
• Experience with automotive SoCs and hardware bring-up
• Proficiency in C/C++ and embedded debugging tools
• Experience with Yocto or similar build systems

Preferred qualifications

• QNX BSP
• AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive
• Android Automotive OS (HAL)
• Zonal/domain controller architectures
• ISO 26262
• Vehicle cybersecurity (secure boot, encrypted comms)
• OTA update integration
