Overview

  • Our Autonomous Vehicles Platform team is responsible for building a scalable and modular software stack that powers advanced driver-assistance systems across a diverse range of product lines and OEMs.
  • We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Systems Software Engineer with a strong foundation in software architecture.
  • This role is ideal for someone who thrives on working across multiple layers of the software stack to analyze performance, inter-operation and deterministic execution flows.
  • You will play a key role in evolving the platform to support efficient integration and scalability in a complex multi-OEM environment.
  • What you will be doing: Driving architectural improvements that simplify and modularize the software stack.
  • Designing and developing clean boundaries between components with performance-first approach to software modules.
  • Refactoring ADAS components to support reuse, extensibility, and long-term maintainability.
  • Partnering with teams across software, systems, and hardware to define clear interfaces and improve integration velocity.
  • Establishing test coverage, design reviews, and architectural documentation that scales with the platform.
  • Profiling and tuning system performance — optimizing for modern multi-core and real-time environments.
  • What we need to see: B.Tech.
  • in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of professional software development experience.
  • Solid background in C++ programming.
  • Strong understanding of modular software architecture, clean code design, and separation of concerns.
  • Hands-on experience building and debugging multithreaded, real-time, or performance-critical systems.
  • Familiarity with parallel/distributed systems and low-level system profiling.
  • Comfortable working in Linux, QNX, or other embedded RTOS environments.
  • Exceptional communication skills and a collaborative, hard-working attitude.
  • Ways to Stand Out From The Crowd: Experience developing ADAS software — especially in components like Planning, Sensor Fusion, Mapping, or Localization.
  • Deep understanding of real-time operating systems, particularly QNX.
  • Familiarity with the automotive software lifecycle and integration across safety-critical systems.
  • Experience with memory management, DMA engines, and hardware abstraction layers (HAL).
  • Experience using Git and Bazel in large-scale software environments.
