Job Description:

The QNX Sensor Framework team is developing a high-performance, scalable framework enabling applications to access cameras and other sensors on QNX-based systems. The framework provides simple, robust C/C++ APIs to interface with sensors such as cameras, LiDAR, radar, and GPS/IMU.

This technology powers advanced applications including Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), robotics, and medical devices. We are seeking talented embedded software developers who are passionate about cutting-edge systems and sensor-driven platforms.

What you'll do:

• Bring new sensors to life-integrating cutting-edge cameras, LiDAR, radar, and GPS/IMU into a high-performance sensor framework powering next-gen systems
• Act as a hands-on Technical/Team Lead, driving architecture and technical direction while remaining deeply involved in development, mentoring engineers, and guiding the delivery of high-performance embedded solutions.
• Enable advanced silicon and connectivity by supporting modern Image Signal Processors (ISPs) and high-speed SerDes technologies across diverse platforms
• Build and optimize deeply embedded systems in C/C++, delivering low-latency, high-throughput performance at scale
• Take software to new hardware-porting and tuning the framework across SoCs and platforms, unlocking new capabilities
• Shape the developer experience by designing clean, scalable APIs and extending core framework features
• Accelerate adoption through robust sample apps and reference implementations that showcase real-world use cases
• Solve complex system-level challenges by debugging across the full stack-from drivers to application layers
• Collaborate with industry leaders including hardware vendors and cross-functional teams to deliver seamless, production-ready integrations

You will have:

• Proven experience building embedded systems software in production environments
• Strong grasp of low-level programming (memory management, interrupts, DMA, concurrency)
• Hands-on experience with device driver development
• Proficiency in C and C++
• Experience with static analysis, testing, and code quality practices
• A passion for debugging complex systems and solving hard technical problems
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative, team-first mindset

If you have any of these then that would be great:

• Experience working with QNX, Linux, or Android systems
• Experience in a Technical Lead or Team Lead capacity, with a track record of mentoring engineers, influencing technical direction, and driving delivery in hands-on, embedded software environments.
• Exposure to computer vision, imaging pipelines, or graphics systems
• Familiarity with functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262)
• Experience with virtualization or hypervisor-based environments
