As Principal Architect, Application Software, you will play a key role in designing the software architecture and integration layers that enable our AI product to operate across a wide range of customer-provided hardware and software environments. You will work closely with the Director of Application Software & Senior Engineering Manager, Application Software to define a scalable, portable, and robust software framework for production deployment across different OEM platforms. You will also guide and mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and contribute directly to technical delivery.
Job Responsibility:
Design and maintain the application-level software architecture enabling integration of our AI stack into multiple target environments
Develop portable software libraries and adaptation layers for automotive platforms including Linux + hypervisors, QNX, and Adaptive AUTOSAR
Define clear APIs and software interfaces that abstract away platform-specific details while maintaining performance and safety
Collaborate with systems engineers, ML engineers, and product teams to capture integration and deployment requirements
Evaluate customer platform specifications and lead efforts to adapt the product for successful integration
Conduct hands-on development and code reviews, ensuring high code quality and alignment with functional safety and cybersecurity standards
Act as a technical liaison with OEM and Tier 1 partners during integration, debugging, and validation
Support the definition of application-layer safety mechanisms and contribute to safety analysis artifacts (e.g., SW FMEA, safety manual inputs)
Requirements:
8+ years of experience in embedded or automotive software development
Expertise in C++ (modern C++14/17), Python, and multi-threaded real-time systems
Deep experience architecting cross-platform software that runs on heterogeneous automotive platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Drive, Qualcomm Ride)
Solid understanding of automotive software architectures: Linux (with hypervisor/virtualization), QNX, and Adaptive AUTOSAR
Strong knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, SOME/IP) and system-level integration topics (boot-time orchestration, inter-process communication)
Experience working within ISO 26262 environments and contributing to safety-relevant software design
Familiarity with Yocto, build systems (e.g., Bazel, CMake), and containerization tools (Docker, OCI)
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to drive architecture decisions from concept to implementation
Nice to have:
Exposure to AI/ML system integration in embedded environments
Experience with BSPs, device drivers, and low-level OS configuration
Familiarity with OTA, secure boot, and automotive security standards (ISO/SAE 21434)
Track record of successful integration with Tier 1 or OEM partners
