Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain infotainment UI applications using modern C++.
• Collaborate with System Engineering, UX, Product, and Validation teams to implement requirements.
• Debug and resolve issues related to rendering, startup performance, power moding, IPC communication, and graphics behavior.
• Integrate vehicle signals and services into UI applications.
• Support feature bring-up on QNX/Linux/Android platforms.
• Contribute to scalable and adaptive UI frameworks across multiple vehicle programs.
• Participate in code reviews, unit testing, static code analysis, and CI/CD workflows.
• Optimize performance, analyze memory usage, and improve startup times.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams during vehicle integration and milestone deliveries.

Requirements

• Strong proficiency in modern C++ (C++11/14/17).
• Good understanding of object-oriented design, multithreading, STL, memory management, IPC mechanisms, and performance optimization.
• Experience debugging complex issues using GDB, Valgrind, and heap/memory analyzers.
• Experience in Qt/QML, Altia, Skia, OpenGL/Vulkan, or embedded graphics/UI frameworks.
• Good understanding of rendering pipelines, frame timing, animation handling, adaptive/responsive layouts, and multi-display architecture.
• Preferred experience with QNX, Embedded Linux, vehicle signal integration, and middleware/service-based architectures.
• Understanding of power moding, startup sequencing, safety/regulatory UI requirements, and the automotive development lifecycle.
• Experience with Git/GitHub, VS Code, CI/CD pipelines, unit testing frameworks, static code analysis tools (Parasoft/Coverity/SonarQube), and Jira/Agile workflows.
• Experience in Android application/UI development, Android Automotive OS (AAOS), Kotlin/Java, Jetpack Compose, Android rendering/performance debugging, Android services and IPC, or Display Manager/Surface handling is a strong plus.
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, milestone-driven environment.
• Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Ability to understand complex system requirements and translate them into scalable implementations.
• Self-driven with an ownership mindset.
• Interest in AI-assisted development workflows and modern developer productivity tools.
• Experience with GoLang services is a plus.
• Knowledge of graphics compositors (Wayland/Weston) is a plus.
• Experience with Android/Linux mixed rendering architectures is a plus.
• Exposure to AI-assisted development tools (GitHub Copilot, AI agents, log analysis tools) is a plus.
• Automotive Cluster/HUD experience is a plus.
• Experience or familiarity with Altia Studio and/or Qt Creator editor workflows is a plus.
• Familiarity with CAN/CAN FD vehicle networks and vehicle signal communication is a plus.
• Understanding of automotive communication protocols and diagnostics concepts is a plus.
• Exposure to SOME/IP, Ethernet-based communication, or middleware/service-oriented architectures is a plus.
