Staff BSW SoC Core Engineer - Middleware

We are seeking a Staff BSW SoC Core Engineer - Middleware to lead the design, development, and integration of middleware stacks on high-performance computing (HPC) platforms running QNX and Linux OS. These HPC platforms power applications across ADAS, Body, Cockpit, and Connectivity domains, making this role central to enabling efficient inter-process communication, configuring and optimizing basic software BSW components, and ensuring seamless interaction between system services and application layers in safety-critical automotive environments.

You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams - including in-house engineering groups and external vendors - to deliver scalable, reliable, real-time middleware solutions aligned with automotive standards and best practices. Core responsibilities span system configuration management, performance tuning, troubleshooting, and compliance with functional safety and cybersecurity frameworks.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop middleware services and frameworks for QNX and Linux-based HPC platforms supporting ADAS, Body, Cockpit, and Connectivity domains.
• Drive integration of Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware components and service-oriented architectures.
• Implement and optimize inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms for performance and scalability.
• Lead middleware bring-up, configuration, and deployment across multiple SoC variants.
• Analyze and optimize CPU, memory, and latency performance across middleware layers.
• Troubleshoot complex system issues across OS, middleware, and application boundaries.
• Define and maintain middleware architecture guidelines, best practices, and reusable components.
• Collaborate with OS, Hypervisor, and application teams for end-to-end system integration.
• Support system validation, debugging, and production readiness activities.
• Ensure compliance with automotive processes, safety, and cybersecurity standards.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• A minimum of 8 years of experience in embedded software development.
• Strong understanding of Adaptive AUTOSAR architecture and service-oriented communication ( SOMEIP, SOMEIP-SD).
• Hands-on experience with QNX Neutrino RTOS, including microkernel architecture, process/thread management, and scheduling.
• Proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17 or later) with hands-on middleware and daemon development.
• Deep knowledge of inter-process communication (IPC), serialization, and service abstraction layers.
• Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, IPv4, IPv6).
• Experience with automotive SoCs and high-performance computing platforms.
• Strong QNX/Linux-based development workflow experience.
• Proficiency with cross-compilation toolchains and build systems (CMake, Make, or Bazel).
• Solid version control practices using Git.
• Familiarity with automotive development processes (ASPICE, V-model).

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with Adaptive AUTOSAR Functional Groups/Clusters, ARACOM, UCM, FOTA, CRYPTO, and Adaptive SIP integration.
• Working knowledge of POSIX operating systems, hypervisor concepts, and QEMU or other POSIX emulators.
• Understanding of functional safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434).
• Proficiency in scripting languages (Python, Shell) for automation and validation.
• Demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional collaboration across internal teams and third-party vendors.
