• Leverage AI‑accelerated development tools and workflows

We're looking for someone who has:

• 5+ years of hands‑on experience in C/C++ on POSIX and RTOS environments
• Direct experience with automotive SoCs (NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride or similar)
• Strong low‑level understanding of hardware accelerators including encoders, DSPs and GPUs
• Deep knowledge of operating systems, specifically QNX and Linux
• Hands‑on experience with microcontrollers, hardware debuggers and flashing interfaces

Nice to have:

• Advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in Computer Science, Robotics, Electronics or related fields
• Experience with ADAS or autonomous driving systems
• Machine learning experience, ideally in perception
• Full product cycle experience from first prototype to series production
• Familiarity with ISO 26262, ASIL or MISRA C++
