Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software Engineer Our client is seeking an Embedded Software Engineer to own software and validation work on Linux and Android-based infotainment and connectivity platforms. If you enjoy ramping into complex codebases, driving hardware verification, and turning performance and stability findings into actionable improvements, this role is built for you. What's the Job? Ramp up on the existing codebase, build pipeline, and regression testing to quickly establish delivery momentum. Develop and maintain the software stack for hardware verification and validation on Hypervisor, Linux, and Android systems. Design and run stress tests on CPU, GPU, NPU, and multimedia subsystems to identify bottlenecks, thermal limits, and stability issues. Analyze and optimize ECU performance, translating test results into engineering decisions. Support board bring-up, design verification, and debugging in partnership with architecture, hardware, and software teams; train and guide junior engineers. What's Needed? Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.8+ years of embedded software development experience. Hands-on experience with high-performance SoCs such as Snapdragon, NVIDIA Orin, or MediaTek; automotive-grade SoC experience is a significant plus. Proficiency in Embedded Linux, QNX, and DriveOS, with experience working on hypervisor systems such as Type-1 hypervisors, Gunyah, or ACRN.Strong C/C++ skills and solid understanding of Linux/Android, kernel configuration, device driver interfaces, and debugging tools. What's in it for me? Work on mission-critical infotainment and connectivity validation where your technical decisions directly impact system stability and performance. Lead end-to-end verification activities—from stress testing and bottleneck analysis to board bring-up support and debugging. Collaborate across architecture, hardware, and software teams while providing weekly status, risk, and decision documentation to program leadership. Mentor and guide junior engineers to strengthen the team's execution and engineering quality. Contribute to a confidential, high-impact engagement with immediate start expectations.
