SoC BSW Engineer – OS & Hypervisor, Cybersecurity

We are seeking a highly experienced SoC BSW Engineer with deep expertise in OS and hypervisor integration, embedded security architecture, and automotive cybersecurity. The ideal candidate will lead the design and implementation of secure, safety-critical software platforms for automotive SoCs.

Required Technical/Functional Skills

• 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 code analysis.
• Deep expertise in at least one OS/hypervisor platform (e.g., QNX, QNX Hypervisor, Linux, 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.
• Knowledge of security threat modeling, penetration testing, and risk assessment.
• Familiarity with hardware security features (TPM, TrustZone, HSM) and secure firmware development.
• Strong understanding of automotive cybersecurity standards, including ISO/SAE 21434 and UNECE WP.29 regulations.
• Experience with 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.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Lead the design, integration, and deployment of OS and hypervisor platforms 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 interfaces.
• 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) for 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 Agile/Scrum-based development workflows.
• Act as a technical mentor and provide architecture reviews and guidance on secure system software design.
