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.
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
Touch Interfaces - driver bring-up, calibration, responsiveness, and UI integration
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
