Requirements

  • Bachelor’s / Master’s in Electronics, Computer Science, or related discipline
  • 13+ years of automotive embedded experience, with minimum 5 years in ADAS / Cockpit system architecture
  • Strong understanding of camera-based perception systems, sensor calibration, and image pipeline processing
  • Proficiency in Ethernet-based automotive communication (AVB/TSN, SOME/IP, DDS, gRPC)
  • Deep expertise in SoC-level integration on platforms such as Qualcomm SA8295P / SA8650 / NVIDIA Orin / TI Jacinto
  • Solid knowledge of AUTOSAR Adaptive, QNX microkernel architecture, and Android Automotive OS integration
  • Experience with GPU and Vision DSP frameworks (OpenVX, OpenGL, TensorRT, SNPE)
  • Working knowledge of ISO 26262 safety concepts and ASIL-level architectural partitioning
  • Familiar with ROS2, camera HAL, and GStreamer-based video frameworks
  • Proficient in C/C++ and Python, with hands-on experience in debugging and system profiling

Responsibilities

  • Define and own the ADAS + Digital Cockpit fusion architecture for multi-domain SoCs (Qualcomm SA8295P, NVIDIA Orin)
  • Design system-level data flow and software partitioning between ADAS functions (perception, vision, sensor fusion) and Infotainment modules (HMI, rendering, audio)
  • Architect camera ingestion and video pipeline (ISP, Vision DSP, GPU rendering) for surround view, DMS, and RVC integration
  • Define inter-domain communication interfaces – shared memory, Ethernet (AVB/TSN), SOME/IP, or gRPC – between safety and infotainment domains
  • Ensure system performance KPIs (frame rate, latency, and bandwidth) are optimized for real-time camera and perception tasks
  • Collaborate with HMI and graphics teams to render ADAS visuals (lane, object overlays, alerts) within the cockpit display framework
  • Define and review safety and isolation concepts (ASIL-B/D) across vision and infotainment domains
  • Work with platform vendors (Qualcomm/NVIDIA/TI) to leverage SoC-specific accelerators (CV, GPU, AI) for ADAS use cases
  • Lead proof-of-concept (POC) and prototype implementations for integrated cockpit-ADAS features such as surround view, DMS visualization, and AR HUD overlays
