## About the Role

* 8+ years of experience in embedded or automotive software development, ideally with hands-on platform bring-up experience.
 * Strong proficiency in C/C++, Bash, and Python.
 * Deep understanding of Linux-based embedded systems (Yocto, systemd, bootloaders, device trees).
 * Familiarity with QNX and Adaptive AUTOSAR environments and the ability to configure and debug them on target hardware.
 * Experience with bring-up on automotive-grade SoCs (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm SA8295/SA8650, Renesas, TI).
 * Comfortable working with hardware debuggers, flashing tools, serial consoles, and board support packages (BSPs).
 * Familiarity with communication protocols like CAN, Ethernet, PCIe, SPI, I2C.
 * Hands-on experience integrating embedded platforms into CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks.

Desirable

 * Exposure to automotive verification environments (e.g., HIL systems, Vector toolchains, custom CI rigs).
 * Experience working in a safety-critical domain with an understanding of ISO 26262, boot-time determinism, and watchdogs.
 * Understanding of secure boot, OTA updates, and system-level cybersecurity topics.
 * Familiarity with Docker, Jenkins, Git, and artifact management tools like JFrog Artifactory.

Not ticking every box? That's totally okay! If you're passionate about autonomy and keen to learn, we encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every requirement.

## Description

* Execute software bring-up on customer hardware platforms (e.g. NVIDIA Drive, Qualcomm Ride).
 * Port and configure Linux-based systems, QNX, and Adaptive AUTOSAR environments.
 * Integrate and validate drivers, middleware, and boot-time configurations.
 * Collaborate with Verification & Release teams to integrate hardware into CI/CD, HIL, and test infrastructure.
 * Work with OEM and Tier 1 teams to resolve hardware-specific integration issues.
 * Implement system-level diagnostics, logging, and secure boot configuration.
 * Develop automation for setup, flashing, health checks, and test execution on target hardware.
