Key Responsibilities: Develop, maintain, and optimize embedded Linux applications and system services. Design scalable application architectures focused on reliability, security, and performance. Develop interfaces between applications, platform services, and vehicle systems. Troubleshoot software defects and resolve issues identified during vehicle testing. Analyze and optimize CPU, GPU, memory, I/O, startup time, and application latency. Identify performance bottlenecks and recommend software and architectural improvements. Support software bring-up, integration, deployment, and productionization on new hardware platforms. Debug native crashes, system failures, resource contention, and complex integration issues. Implement logging, diagnostics, telemetry, observability, and automated health monitoring. Collaborate with application, platform, infrastructure, hardware, and vehicle engineering teams. Establish best practices for software development, testing, security, and release management.

Required Qualifications: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field.8+ years of relevant software engineering experience. Strong proficiency in C++ and Python programming. Hands-on experience developing applications and services in embedded Linux environments. Strong understanding of multithreading, inter-process communication (IPC), networking protocols, memory management, and process lifecycles. Experience debugging native crashes and complex software integration issues. Proficiency with performance analysis and debugging tools such as GDB, perf, Valgrind, or equivalent tools. Experience analyzing CPU, GPU, memory, I/O, latency, and thermal performance metrics. Experience integrating complex software modules across multiple teams or external partners.
