  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a closely related field. 
  • 7+ years of Linux-based embedded software development experience in automotive or related domains. 
  • Proven experience with ADAS frameworks on NVIDIA Orin/Thor, Qualcomm 8797, or similar high-performance embedded platforms. 
  • Hands-on experience with sensor integration (cameras, radars, LiDARs) and control outputs via CAN/LIN/Ethernet. 
  • Experience in ML/AI model optimization and inference deployment using ONNX(or other deep learning models), CUDA, TensorRT, or SNPE. 
  • Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python for embedded Linux System development. 
  • Deep knowledge of embedded Linux/RTOS, inter-process communication, scheduling, and memory management. 
  • Experience in OTA updates, diagnostics, and system performance optimization. 
  • Familiarity with diagnostic standards and protocols, such as UDS over IP or CAN. 
  • Solid understanding of log management, data pipelines, and real-time debugging tools. 
  • Strong problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills. 

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Proven experience integrating open-source ADAS/AV stacks, with knowledge of its module architecture (perception, planning, control) and adaptation to proprietary hardware.
  • Familiarity with simulation tools and HIL testing environments for ADAS validation. 
  • Knowledge of machine learning deployment in ADAS pipelines (e.g., TensorRT for Nvidia, Hexagon DSP for Qualcomm). 
  • Experience with Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer) for validating ADAS-related features.

Annual Salary Range:

($135,000 - $155,000 DOE), plus benefits and incentive plans

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
