Job summary

Stellantis NV seeks a Sr. Staff SoC Platform SW Engineer to lead development, integration, and optimization of automotive computing platforms running Android, QNX, and Linux in virtualized environments.

You will focus on Android platform internals, HAL, power management, IPC, and low-level drivers while supporting ADAS, Digital Cockpit, Instrument Cluster, and Infotainment systems. Strong debugging across OSes is required.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded software development, including automotive SoC platform software and OS integration.
• Deep hands-on expertise in Android platform internals, including Android HAL, boot process, native services, and system initialization.
• Strong experience with QNX, Embedded Linux, and hypervisor-based multi-OS environments.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++, ARM-based SoC architectures, and low-level embedded programming.
• Hands-on experience with SoC power management, suspend/resume, wake-up sequences, and power-state transitions.
• Experience developing and debugging IPC mechanisms, shared memory communication, and inter-VM communication.
• Proven experience with BSP development, device drivers, and hardware-software integration.
• Demonstrated ability to debug complex system-level issues across multiple operating systems and virtualization layers.

Responsibilities

• Lead development and integration of Android, QNX, and Linux platforms on high-performance automotive SoCs.
• Drive Android platform integration, including Android boot sequence, HAL, native services, system services, and hardware-software interfaces.
• Develop and optimize SoC power management, including power modes, suspend/resume, wake-up sequences, and low-power state transitions.
• Design, integrate, and debug IPC stacks supporting communication between processors, virtual machines, and operating systems.
• Develop and debug low-level device drivers for hardware interfaces such as PCIe, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, and shared memory.
• Integrate and optimize QNX Hypervisor and other virtualization technologies, including guest OS startup, resource allocation, and inter-VM communication.
• Lead investigation and resolution of complex field issues spanning Android, QNX, Linux, hypervisor, and underlying SoC hardware.
• Analyze and resolve system crashes, boot failures, power-state transition failures, IPC communication issues, and performance bottlenecks.
• Support integration and debugging of complex SoC subsystems, including audio, display, GPU, and associated device drivers across Android, QNX, and hypervisor environments.
• Collaborate with semiconductor partners, OS vendors, and cross-functional teams to drive root-cause analysis and platform stabilization.
• Provide technical leadership in system architecture, debugging, performance optimization, and production readiness.
