The position offers the opportunity to contribute to architecture and integration activities across drivers, middleware, frameworks, and communication layers, while collaborating closely with experienced architects, hardware teams, base software teams, and application software engineers.

Responsibilities

• Contribute to the design of software requirements and architecture for HPC and ZCU platforms across all layers, including drivers, middleware, frameworks, and communication protocols
• Support the definition of key HPC/ZCU system functionalities such as start-up/shut-down, fault detection, hypervisor configuration, virtual machine interaction, power, thermal, and resource management
• Contribute to the definition and tracking of system KPIs and resource allocation, including RAM, Flash, CPU, GPU, and NPU, across software releases
• Participate in technical discussions and architecture reviews, supporting improvements in performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Contribute to the design and evolution of Base Software (BSW) architecture and platform components across vehicle programs
• Support the development of scalable and maintainable software platforms for next-generation ECUs
• Collaborate closely with Hardware Architects and Base Software teams to define software requirements and architecture
• Work with application software architects to support the integration of applications into HPC and ZCU platforms
