Job description

Job Description
Job Summary
We are seeking a Level 8 Staff Software Engineer to lead complex Android Automotive and 3D visualization software for ADAS HMI experiences. This role backfills a senior technical leadership scope covering signal-driven ADAS visualization, Android services, rendering performance, and cross-team architecture execution.
The ideal candidate is a recognized technical expert who can operate with broad latitude in a complex environment: defining system architecture, decomposing ambiguous product requirements, driving multi-team execution, and holding the team accountable for high-quality delivery across vehicle programs.
Job Responsibilities
  • Lead architecture, design, and delivery of Android Automotive software for ADAS HMI, camera/recording controls, and signal-driven visualization features.
  • Define end-to-end system designs spanning Android Automotive UI, Android services, SoC middleware, ADAS data services, perception interfaces, platform integration, and vehicle signal inputs.
  • Design and evolve 3D rendering capabilities for real-time ADAS visualization, including scene composition, rendering pipelines, asset/data integration, performance optimization, and stability under vehicle resource constraints.
  • Own complex multi-team workstreams from concept through production release, including architecture reviews, technical decomposition, milestone planning, risk management, validation, and launch support.
  • Translate ambiguous product, design, safety, and system requirements into practical software designs with clear interfaces, failure modes, test strategy, and operational ownership.
  • Drive cross-functional alignment with ADAS algorithm, perception, infotainment, cluster, data recording, safety, product, and vehicle integration partners.
  • Establish engineering practices that raise quality across Android Automotive and rendering codebases, including performance benchmarks, release gates, automated validation, and field-issue triage.
  • Debug and resolve complex issues across the signal-to-pixel path, including Android lifecycle/service behavior, IPC, concurrency, rendering latency, memory pressure, GPU/CPU contention, and vehicle integration defects.
  • Mentor senior and mid-level engineers on Android Automotive architecture, 3D rendering trade-offs, system design, execution discipline, and cross-team technical leadership.
  • Communicate technical direction, risks, trade-offs, and delivery status clearly to engineering leadership and cross-functional stakeholders.

Education / Experience Requirement
  • Bachelor's degree or Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field, with 6-9 years of relevant software engineering experience; or equivalent practical experience with 10-12 years delivering production software.

Required Qualifications
  • Staff-level experience designing and shipping complex software systems with multi-team scope, broad technical ambiguity, and production accountability.
  • Strong Android Automotive or Android platform development experience, including services, lifecycle, IPC, threading/concurrency, system integration, performance analysis, and production debugging.
  • Hands-on experience building vehicle, embedded, infotainment, ADAS, robotics, simulation, gaming, or other real-time visualization software.
  • Strong 3D rendering experience using technologies such as OpenGL, Vulkan, Filament, Unity, Unreal, Android graphics stack, scene graphs, shaders, GPU profiling, or similar rendering frameworks.
  • Demonstrated system design skill across application, middleware, data, and platform boundaries, with the ability to define interfaces, sequence diagrams, data flows, state machines, and validation strategies.
  • Proven execution accountability: ability to own roadmaps, commitments, risks, dependencies, and release quality without day-to-day direction.
  • Experience diagnosing complex performance and reliability issues involving memory, CPU/GPU utilization, latency, frame drops, race conditions, service lifecycle, or cross-process communication.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to influence architecture decisions across teams without direct authority.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with Android Automotive OS, embedded Android, infotainment, cluster, ADAS HMI, camera systems, navigation, or vehicle visualization.
  • Experience with ADAS or autonomous driving concepts such as perception objects, lane-level navigation, localization, path planning, camera recording, sensor data, or driver assistance alerts.
  • Experience with vehicle signal interfaces, CAN, SOME/IP, DDS, AIDL, gRPC, protobuf, vehicle data services, or equivalent middleware/data transport.
  • Experience defining rendering performance budgets, GPU memory strategies, frame pacing, asset pipelines, texture management, level-of-detail strategies, or fallback rendering behavior.
  • Experience leading architecture reviews, technical readiness reviews, release planning, and production issue triage for safety-relevant or vehicle-integrated software.
  • Familiarity with automotive software practices such as ASPICE, ISO 26262 concepts, CI/CD, HIL/SIL validation, test automation, and structured release governance.
