programs.**What You’ll Do*** Lead **Linux/QNX platform OS development and integration** for **current production Super Cruise programs**, ensuring BSP, drivers, platform services, middleware, and core OS components operate as a cohesive, production-ready system.* Own **platform BSP bring-up, integration, and debugging** across Linux- and QNX-based environments, including boot flow, startup, board configuration, peripheral enablement, and low-level system initialization.* Design, implement, and maintain **low-level platform services, system daemons, kernel-adjacent components, and resource-managed interfaces** for custom hardware and core platform functionality.* Define and maintain key aspects of **platform OS architecture**, including process and service partitioning, IPC mechanisms, scheduling behavior, interrupt handling, and system resiliency.* Develop software in **Embedded C/C++** for low-level operating system components, board support package layers, hardware abstraction, drivers, and system libraries.* Drive **board and platform bring-up** for current production of Super Cruise hardware, including clocks, memory, storage, networking, PCIe, UART, SPI, I2C, and other platform peripherals.* Debug complex cross-layer issues spanning **bootloaders, kernels, OS services, drivers, middleware, and applications** using logs, traces, dumps, and lab tools.* Use platform debugging and performance tools such as **gdb, core dumps, JTAG, serial consoles, tracing, logging, and bench instrumentation** to isolate and resolve system issues across Linux and QNX environments.* Define and maintain clean interfaces between **OS/BSP, platform middleware, vehicle software layers, and application teams**.* Support and improve platform reliability through **requirements generation, automated testing, CI/CD integration, issue tracking, code reviews, and regression validation**.* Partner closely with silicon vendors, suppliers, security teams, validation teams, and release teams to review designs, close interface gaps, and ensure program execution.* Drive technical direction for **platform OS architecture**, including scalability, performance, fault isolation, maintainability, and debug-ability.* Mentor engineers on **platform OS internals, BSP architecture, bring-up strategy, debugging techniques, and integration best practices**.* Provide

in embedded systems, platform OS, BSP, or low-level systems software development.* Strong hands-on experience with **Linux, QNX, or other embedded/POSIX operating systems** in production or advanced embedded development environments.* Strong proficiency in **Embedded C/C++** development for low-level system software.* Experience with **platform OS debugging**, including analysis of boot issues, process or service failures, IPC or synchronization issues, memory or timing issues, and device bring-up problems.* Experience designing and implementing **low-level platform services, system daemons, or resource-managed interfaces**.* Solid understanding of **embedded OS architecture**, including process isolation, scheduling, interrupts, IPC, services, and system startup flows.* Experience with **board bring-up** and BSP integration on ARM or x86-based SoCs.* Experience with bootloaders, startup flows, hardware initialization, and board configuration for embedded platforms.* Demonstrated experience debugging issues across multiple layers of the stack, including bootloaders, kernels, OS services, drivers, middleware, and applications.* Experience building, testing, and shipping **production-quality embedded/POSIX systems**.* Experience with **CI/CD pipelines**, build systems, and integration of workflows in large multi-team environments.* Familiarity with common hardware interfaces and protocols such as **PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, USB, and storage subsystems**.* Strong collaboration, communication, and technical leadership skills.**Preferred Qualifications*** Experience with **current production Super Cruise programs** or similar high-compute automotive SoC platforms.* Experience integrating **Linux and/or QNX BSPs, platform software drops, supplier deliverables, and internal baselines**.* Experience in **automotive, ADAS, AV, robotics, or other safety-critical systems**.* Familiarity with **ROS or mixed-OS environments** involving Linux, QNX, or RTOS systems.* Experience with **secure boot, signed images, system hardening, HSM integration, and OTA/software update flows**.* Experience with system performance tuning across **CPU, memory, latency, throughput, and I/O**.* Experience with **multi-core, SMP, or AMP** embedded system configurations.* Experience supporting validation on **benches, HIL rigs, and target ECUs**.* Experience influencing supplier technical direction and reviewing low-level architecture and implementation quality.* Experience mentoring senior and mid-level engineers in platform OS and debugging disciplines.**Success Profile**A successful candidate for this role is a strong low-level systems engineer who can move effectively between **architecture, implementation, debugging, integration, and technical leadership**. They bring deep expertise in **Linux and/or QNX platform software**, are comfortable owning difficult platform issues on **current production Super Cruise programs**, and can guide teams through the complexity of building reliable, secure, high-performance vehicle compute software. **Compensation:** The compensation information is a good faith estimate only.
