Develop QM-classified streaming software with freedom-from-interference awareness, ensuring architectural isolation from ASIL-rated components per ISO 26262 standard
Collaborate with functional safety teams to ensure streaming components meet freedom-from-interference and resource-partitioning requirements relative to colocated safety-critical systems
Build and evolve test infrastructure and tools to validate real-time performance and fault-tolerance behavior for automotive streaming scenarios
Define and monitor performance/safety metrics and drive continuous product improvement
Review code and design across the team, and help evolve team engineering and safety processes
What We Need to See
Proficiency in C/C++, with strong systems software programming and open-box debugging skills
Hands-on experience with development, debugging, and performance tuning of real-time, latency-sensitive software in QNX or other RTOS environments for automotive or a similar safety-critical domain
Solid understanding of ISO 26262 classification concepts (QM vs. ASIL) and freedom-from-interference/partitioning principles
Experience with real-time video/audio pipelines including encoding, decoding, network protocols (RTP/ RTCP/ SRTP), and QoS algorithms (Adaptive streaming, FEC, L4S, ECN)
Understanding of deterministic, thread-safe and memory-safe coding practices
BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of experience in above areas
Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd
Experience with automotive SoCs, hypervisors
Background in interactive, latency-sensitive streaming applications such as gaming, video conferencing, cloud streaming
Exposure to automotive cybersecurity standards (ISO 21434) alongside functional safety
Background with automotive connectivity: TCU integration, cellular (LTE/5G) link behavior, link bonding or failover, and designing around variable and lossy last-mile networks
Experience employing agentic tools for code and documentation
