We are seeking a Lead Base Software SoC Engineer to support VHIL labs, production environments, and pre-production plant setups. This role requires broad systems expertise in embedded software platforms and infotainment subsystems (Displays, Touch Interfaces, Cameras, Audio, Connectivity) with hands-on debugging across Bootloaders, Operating Systems (QNX, Linux, Android) & Hypervisors, Middleware stacks, Diagnostics frameworks, HPC SoC platforms Flashing tools and FOTA processes. The engineer will act as a first responder in production environments, driving rapid issue resolution and ensuring system readiness for vehicle integration.

Key Responsibilities

- Debug and triage embedded software issues in Plant, VHIL, and Production setups
- Travel as required to production plants, test facilities to support on-site issue resolution
- Support system bring-up and troubleshooting of bootloaders, OS, hypervisors, middleware stacks, and diagnostics
- Debug and validate infotainment peripherals and connectivity subsystems, including

- - Displays – initialization, bring-up, video pipelines, GPUdisplay controllers
- Touch Interfaces – driver bring-up, calibration, responsiveness, and UI integration
- Cameras – ISP pipeline, MIPI interfaces, synchronization, diagnostics
- Audio – HAL customization, DSP integration, routing, amplifiers, codecs
- BTWiFi – connectivity stacks, pairing, diagnostics, integration
- Radio Tuners – AMFM, DAB, SXM, tuner HAL and middleware integration
- USB and Automotive Ethernet subsystems.

- Support diagnostic flashing processes (UDS-based flashing, DoIP-based flashing, plant reprogramming workflows)
- Collaborate with FOTA teams to debug Firmware Over-The-Air update mechanisms, including campaign execution,



partial updates, and rollback handling
- Develop and maintain toolsscripts for log capture, automated debugging, and flashing workflows
- Ensure comprehensive diagnostic coverage (UDS, DoIP, SOMEIP, OBD-II) and plant readiness
- Collaborate with Base SW, Integration, Cockpit Infotainment, Connectivity, and Plant teams for root-cause analysis and resolution
Document and share root causes, workarounds, and lessons learned to drive continuous improvement

- Required Skills

- Bachelor’sMaster’s in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Embedded Systems
- 5+ years of experience in embedded software debugging
- Strong experience in
- - Bootloaders (U-Boot, ABL, or similar)
- Operating Systems (QNX, Linux, Android)
- Hypervisors (QNX HV or similar)
- Debugging tools (JTAG, Lauterbach, GDB, tracemonitoring tools)

- Hands-on experience with HPC peripherals and subsystems
- - Display frameworks and GPU pipelines
- Touch Interfaces (drivers, calibration, UI integration)
- Camera stacks
- Audio frameworks
- BTWiFi connectivity
- Radio Tuners
- USB and Automotive Ethernet

- Familiarity with diagnostic protocols and update mechanisms UDS, DoIP, SOMEIP, OBD-II, flashing workflows, FOTA update processes
- Experience with VHILHIL test environments
Willingness and ability to travel to production plants, test facilities, or test sites (typically ~10–20%) to provide on-site debugging and support

- Preferred Skills

- Knowledge of HPC-class SoCs from Qualcomm SA8xxxSA7xxx SoCs or NVIDIAIntelRenesasNXP
- Familiarity with Adaptive AUTOSAR and ASPICE-compliant workflows
- Exposure to production plant processes and EOL (End-of-Line) testing
