Sr. Staff SoC BSW Core Engineer

We are seeking a Sr. Staff SoC  BSW Core Engineer – Middleware, IPC Stacks to join the Base Software (BSW) Engineering team at Stellantis, where you will drive the design, development, and integration of scalable Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) frameworks for complex automotive SoC platforms.

In this role, you will work at the intersection of core platform software and multicore architecture, enabling efficient communication across heterogeneous processing domains. Your work will directly support critical vehicle systems including ADAS, central compute, and Infotainment, while ensuring performance, scalability, and compliance with safety and security standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development and integration of IPC stacks for high-performance automotive SoC platforms
• Define IPC architectures and protocols to support communication between heterogeneous cores, domains, and virtual machines
• Collaborate with OS, hypervisor, and middleware teams to enable robust inter-domain communication
• Optimize IPC mechanisms for latency, throughput, resource usage, and determinism
• Support integration of IPC into real-time and virtualized environments (e.g., QNX, Linux, Android GVM)
• Debug and troubleshoot IPC-related issues across hardware and software layers using tools like JTAG, tracing frameworks, and logic analyzers
• Contribute to platform bring-up, BSP integration, and driver-level IPC components
• Implement safety- and security-aware IPC features aligned with ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434
• Support CI/CD pipelines and test automation frameworks in Agile software development processes

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• A minimum of 8 years of experience in embedded software development, with a focus on SoC platforms or communication frameworks
• Strong proficiency in Advanced C++ (14/17+), with a solid understanding of multicore and embedded systems
• Experience with IPC protocols over SPI, UART, VirtIO, or shared memory messaging
• Familiarity with QNX, Linux, or RTOS environments
• Experience in board bring-up, BSPs, or driver integration for SoCs
• Understanding of performance optimization and system profiling techniques
• Strong analytical, debugging, and documentation skills

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field 
• Experience with virtualization and domain communication in hypervisor-based systems (e.g., QNX Hypervisor, Android GVM)
• Knowledge of secure boot, trusted execution environments, and memory protection
• Familiarity with Yocto, Device Trees, and system configuration for embedded Linux
• Understanding of functional safety and cybersecurity standards (ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434)
• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Shell) for automation and validation
• Exposure to automotive communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, LIN)
