Software Design Engineer – Embedded Platforms (Linux/QNX & Hypervisor)

We are seeking a Software Design Engineer to join Volvo Group’s Base Software Design team, focusing on Linux, QNX, and Hypervisor-based software development for System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms within the main ECU for controllers and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems). This role involves low-level platform development, BSP integration, and hypervisor configuration, ensuring a secure and efficient embedded software foundation for next-generation automotive applications.

Key Responsibilities:

• Contribute to the long-term design strategy for Linux/QNX-based embedded platforms within the main ECU and ADAS systems.


• 
  Develop, integrate, and configure BSPs, bootloaders, hypervisors, and Guest OS for SoC-based automotive controllers.


• 
  Optimize real-time performance of Linux/QNX for automotive applications.


• Ensure compliance with functional safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity best practices, where relevant.


• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including hardware, system architects, and safety teams, to define software platform architecture.


• Provide technical mentorship and guidance on best practices in embedded software architecture.

Required Skills & Experience:

• Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.


• 
  Expertise in Linux and QNX, including kernel development, hypervisor integration, and BSP customization.


• 
  Proficiency in C, C++, and Embedded C for low-level system development.


• Hands-on experience with bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot, Secure Boot), device drivers, and virtualization technologies.


• 
  Functional Safety (ISO 26262) knowledge is beneficial but not a strict requirement.
