## Description

The Infotainment Platform team at Rivian Volkswagen Technologies is looking for a skilled Software Engineer to join our Automotive Software team. We are developing the next generation, Android-based in-vehicle experience that will be deployed across all future electric vehicles in the Rivian and Volkswagen Group portfolios. You will work on the architecture, integration, and optimization of both display and input subsystems for our next-generation infotainment platforms. In this role, you will own the end-to-end pipeline from the low-level hardware drivers (touch controllers, display panels, physical buttons) up through the OS frameworks (Linux, QNX, Android Automotive) to ensure a seamless, highly responsive, and visually flawless user experience., * Display & Graphics Pipeline: Develop, integrate, and maintain display drivers and compositor frameworks (e.g., DRM/KMS, SurfaceFlinger, Wayland, OpenWFD) for complex, multi-display automotive topologies.

 * Touch & Input Subsystems: Develop and integrate drivers and middleware for touch panels (capacitive, resistive) and physical infotainment buttons (e.g., hard keys, rotary dials, steering wheel controls). Optimize input processing, gesture recognition, multi-touch coordination, and noise filtering within the OS input frameworks (e.g., Android InputFlinger, Linux evdev).
 * Performance Optimization: Tune the complete glass-to-glass pipeline. Optimize frame rates, visual quality (color accuracy, white point tuning), and touch/button latency to ensure a fluid, highly responsive user experience.
 * Hardware Bring-Up & Integration: Partner closely with hardware vendors and SoC partners to bring up new display panels (LCD, OLED) and input interfaces via standard buses (MIPI DSI, I2C, SPI) and SerDes links.
 * System-Level Debugging: Investigate and resolve complex display and input issues (e.g., screen freezes, visual artifacts, touch ghosting, missed button presses, dropped frames) using software profilers, gdb, JTAG, and logic analyzers.
 * Feature Development: Implement advanced system features such as dynamic backlight control, power sequencing, resolution switching, fault monitoring, and multi-display synchronization.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Hardware engineers, UI/UX designers, and System teams to define requirements, document software architectures, and ensure compliance with automotive safety and EMC requirements., Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
