Originally posted 27 August 2026 by the employer.

Architect and execute software across boot, security, memory, and virtualization for automotive telematics systems.

About the role

This role involves serving as the senior technical authority for the embedded Linux platform software that powers automotive telematics systems. You will own architecture and execution across boot, security, memory, and virtualization, from silicon bring-up through production launch with global automakers.

What you'll do

• Own the platform software stack end to end across multiple telematics chipset generations, from initial bring-up through commercialization and long-term sustaining support.
• Architect boot and recovery solutions, including fail-safe and dual-image recovery paths, over-the-air update flows, and NAND/eMMC storage support.
• Contribute to platform security work, including mandatory access control, verified boot, disk integrity verification, and full-disk encryption, and drive automotive cybersecurity threat analysis and risk assessment for key features.
• Set and defend boot-time and memory footprint targets, leading cross-team optimization efforts against firm customer commitments.
• Help architect fusion configurations integrating third-party application processors with cellular modems over PCIe, USB, and Ethernet.
• Plan kernel and Yocto upgrade roadmaps and release trains, balancing launch commitments against ongoing feature demand.

What you'll need

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience, OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience, OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience.
• 3+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
• Deep expertise in embedded Linux systems software, including kernel development, bootloaders, Yocto-based build systems, and board bring-up.
• Proven track record of optimizing boot time and memory footprint on resource-constrained embedded platforms.
• Strong knowledge of embedded security and automotive cybersecurity standards.
• Experience delivering software to automotive OEMs within formal development, quality, and process frameworks.

Nice to have

• Ability to provide technical leadership across teams without direct authority and successfully drive cross-organizational commitments.
• Solid knowledge of system software and platform-level debugging, including pre-silicon and SoC bring-up.
• Experience with industry-standard software development tools, including debuggers, code revision systems (Git, Perforce), IDEs, and build tools.
• Experience with Linux kernel device driver development.
• Experience with real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Excellent programming skills in C, C , Assembly, and scripting languages.
• Experience working with AI-based software development lifecycle (SDLC) practices.
• Experience working in large organizations.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Communications, or Computer Science Engineering; Master’s degree preferred.
• 13 years of software engineering experience or related industry experience, with strong C/C programming expertise.
