We are seeking a Lead Base Software Systems Engineer to support VHIL labs, production, 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 & 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.

Audio - HAL customization, DSP integration, routing, amplifiers, codecs. 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 tools/scripts for log capture, automated debugging, and flashing workflows.



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. Bachelor’s/Master’s in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems or similar ~5+ years of experience in embedded software debugging. ~ Strong experience in: ~ Hypervisors (QNX HV or similar) ~ Debugging tools (JTAG, Lauterbach, GDB, trace/monitoring tools) ~ Hands-on experience with HPC peripherals and subsystems: ~ USB and Automotive Ethernet ~ Experience with VHIL/HIL 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 Familiarity with Adaptive AUTOSAR and ASPICE-compliant workflows.
