About the role

Responsibilities

  • Design and implement core platform services using C++, focusing on multi-threading, concurrency, and performance optimization
  • Develop and extend communication middleware utilizing protocols such as SOME/IP or DDS (and ideally Protobuf/gRPC) across the platform
  • Work specifically within the AUTOSAR Adaptive Platform functional clusters (e.g., Adaptive Platform Core, Communication Management, Execution Management, State Management)
  • Apply expertise in networking and the Ethernet stack to ensure reliable and high-throughput data exchange in the vehicle
  • Contribute to the robust design of system management functions (e.g., Health Management, Diagnostics) within the SDV architecture

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in shipping complex, production software, ideally in the embedded, automotive, or robotics domains
  • BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong C++ expertise, including a solid understanding of multi-threading programming, mutexes, and design patterns
  • Experience with communication middleware such as SOME/IP or DDS
  • Working knowledge of networking concepts built on the Ethernet stack
  • The drive to take initiative in a fast-paced environment and take ownership over technical decisions

Nice to Have

  • Experience with Embedded systems and C programming
  • Expertise in one or more AUTOSAR Adaptive functional clusters (e.g., Adaptive Platform Core, Communication Management, Execution Management, Diagnostics, Health Management)
  • Experience with advanced inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms like Protobuf or gRPC
  • Strong familiarity with POSIX operating systems (Linux) knowledge, including system calls, runtime behavior, and memory management
  • Experience working with real-time or safety-critical distributed systems
