Are you the person we are looking for?

At QNX, we are building the next generation of middleware that powers virtualization and real-time performance across a wide range of platforms.

As a Systems Software Developer on our Middleware team, you will design, implement, and maintain VirtIO virtual devices - including virtual sockets, shared input, shared filesystems, and shared messaging systems.

In this role, you will also play a key part in the functional safety lifecycle, ensuring software complies with rigorous industry standards like ISO 26262 (ASIL D). Additionally, you will directly support our customers,

delivering specialized engineering services, integration support, and custom solutions to help launch their mission-critical products into production.

If you're an early-career systems engineer who thrives on lowlevel systems work, has a strong foundation in C/C++ and realtime concepts, and is passionate about pushing the limits of embedded middleware, this is the role for you.

You will

• Develop VirtIO virtual devices that expose virtualized hardware to guest operating systems, ensuring lowlatency and highthroughput communication.
• Collaborate with hardware vendors and Android AOSP teams to codesign device drivers, memory mappings, and interrupt handling for virtual devices.
• Partner directly with customers and field engineering teams to provide specialized integration support, troubleshoot deployment blockers, and deliver tailored middleware solutions.
• Optimize realtime performance across the stack, from kernelspace drivers to userspace libraries and conduct rigorous profiling and tuning.
• Stay ahead of industry trends in virtualization and embedded security, and contribute directly to product roadmap and design discussions.

You will have:

• Strong foundational knowledge of software development, with a proven proficiency in C/C++ programming and real-time systems concepts gained through relevant internships, academic coursework, or complex personal projects.
• Familiarity or exposure to QNX RTOS (kernel, device drivers, IPC, memory management).
• Understanding of or exposure to virtualization concepts (VirtIO, hypervisors) or Android AOSP framework layers is a strong plus.
• Basic understanding of hypervisors such as QEMU and Xen is desirable.
• Foundational exposure to lowlevel programming (DMA, interrupts, memory mapping, device driver architecture).
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across hardware, OS, and application teams.
• A passion for experimentation - you love prototyping, testing new ideas, and turning them into productiongrade code.
• Bachelor's (or higher) degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering.

If you are looking to make a real impact, then we'd love to hear from you!
