Job description

Company Name:
ASTEMO AMERICAS, INC.
Job Family:
Engineering
Job Description:
Position Overview and Objective
Astemo's Advanced Development Division is hiring an Senior Engineer to develop embedded software for next-generation AD/ADAS platforms. This role goes beyond integration of vendor-provided BSPs, focusing on the platform capabilities that differentiate automotive-grade systems, including system-level power architecture, firmware design, and platform abstractions that enable advanced applications to run reliably and efficiently. The engineer will work across multiple areas as priorities evolve and is expected to contribute to both current development needs and emerging software infrastructure initiatives.
Job Responsibilities:
  • Lead board bring-up activities for new AD/ADAS high-performance compute hardware.
  • Integrate device drivers for sensors, peripherals, and high-speed interconnects.
  • Develop platform software capabilities that extend beyond vendor-provided baselines to meet the performance, reliability, and efficiency needs of automotive applications.
  • Define and implement system-level strategies for managing platform resources across varying operating conditions and use cases.
  • Develop and enhance firmware and low-level software components that improve platform behavior, responsiveness, and observability.
  • Design and evolve platform abstractions that provide a stable, well-controlled foundation for middleware and application teams across hardware generations.
  • Collaborate with hardware, SoC vendors, safety, and software teams to drive platform-level issues to closure, and mentor junior engineers on platform software topics.

Qualifications:
  • Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ (modern C++ preferred) and Python with experience in low-level systems software and firmware development on embedded platforms.
  • Working knowledge of embedded software development on Linux and/or RTOS environments.
  • Familiarity with AD/ADAS systems and automotive compute platforms.
  • Solid understanding of SoC architectures, memory subsystems, interconnects, and the interaction between hardware and software layers.
  • Practical experience integrating application software with platform-level services on embedded targets.
  • Strong debugging, profiling, and analysis skills.
  • Flexibility and willingness to work across multiple software layers as project needs evolve.
  • Effective communication and presentation skills, with NVIDIA Drive OS and toolchain experience a plus.

Additionally, the ability to work independently with minimal direction is required as are strong verbal and written communication skills. Experience with PCs and application software, such as MS Office tools, is also required.
Education: Master's or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
Experience: Minimum of 5+ years with Masters and 1+ years with Ph.D. or relevant industrial experience is required.
Job level is determined by various factors such as organization size, responsibility, career stage, and capabilities.
Supervisory Responsibilities: n/a
Working conditions:
  • Physical Demands: Required to sit or stand for long periods of time. The employee may occasionally lift and/or move up to 25 pounds.
  • Travel: Domestic and international may be required as needed. The candidate will occasionally need to travel to multiple global locations to support project development.
