SoC BSW Engineer – OS & Hypervisor, Cybersecurity

We are seeking a SoC BSW Engineer – OS & Hypervisor, Cybersecurity to lead the secure design, development, and integration of operating system and hypervisor software components for next-generation automotive SoC platforms.

This role combines deep OS and virtualization knowledge with a strong focus on cybersecurity compliance, enabling secure and high-performance execution across multicore domains.

You will be part of the Base Software (BSW) Engineering team at a major OEM, working across critical automotive platforms including Autonomous Driving, Infotainment, and Connected Vehicle Systems, while ensuring security compliance with ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29.

• Working model: Hybrid

Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and integration of OS and hypervisor platforms (e.g., QNX, QNX Hypervisor, Linux, Android GVM) for automotive SoCs
• Architect and implement cybersecurity features at the OS and virtualization layers, including secure boot, runtime isolation, access control, and memory protection
• Collaborate with platform security teams to define and implement threat mitigations, attack surface reduction, and secure software lifecycle practices
• Develop and configure drivers for UART, SPI, PCIe, Ethernet, I2C, and LVDS
• Contribute to BSP integration, system bring-up, and OS/Hypervisor initialization on new SoC platforms
• Debug and troubleshoot system-level issues using industry-standard tools such as JTAG, logic analyzers, and trace probes
• Write and maintain scripts (Python, Shell, CLI tools) to automate diagnostics, configuration, and security validation
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity and functional safety standards including ISO/SAE 21434, ISO 26262, and ASPICE
• Support CI/CD pipelines, automated test environments, and participate in Agile/Scrum-based development workflows
• Act as a technical mentor and provide architecture reviews and guidance on secure system software design

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• 10+ years of experience in embedded software development, including OS/hypervisor integration and security architecture
• Strong programming skills in C/C++, and familiarity with secure coding practices and static analysis
• Deep expertise in at least one OS/hypervisor platform such as QNX, Linux, or Android GVM, and virtualization technologies
• Hands‑on experience with secure boot, access control mechanisms, MMU/MPU configuration, and cryptographic libraries
• Proven experience with BSP development, device drivers, and SoC bring‑up

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Experience with security threat modeling, penetration testing, and risk assessment
• Familiarity with hardware security features (TPM, TrustZone, HSM) and secure firmware
• Deep understanding of ISO/SAE 21434, UNECE WP.29, and automotive cybersecurity requirements
• Experience working on ASIL-B/D safety‑rated systems
• Proficiency in Python, Shell scripting, and test automation for embedded platforms
• Exposure to vehicle networks (CAN, Ethernet, LIN) and network security protocols
