About the Role

We design, build, and support two generations of in-vehicle infotainment and digital cockpit platforms, evolving our current production platform while creating its successor, both aligned with the latest best practices. As a Staff Software Architect, you are a senior individual contributor who sets direction for core operating-environment and system services, working closely with other platform and vehicle teams.

This is a high-scope staff-level role: you lead architecture and cross-team technical decisions, influence managers and suppliers, and dive into design reviews, hard bugs, and prototypes when needed. You are not a people manager, but you are expected to be a visible technical leader across teams.

Key Responsibilities

Own and evolve architecture for key system-level software and services in the infotainment stack, with clear interfaces and long-term platform health in mind.
Lead by example as a “player–architect”: shape requirements, drive designs, review code, and contribute to high-impact implementations.
Coordinate technical decisions and roadmaps across internal teams and suppliers; ensure designs align with safety, performance, and program goals.
Work with hardware and release teams on new central compute platforms and software releases; lead resolution of complex system-level issues in benches and vehicles.
Influence the organization through effective use of AI, agents, and agent skills in development and operations.
Use logs, crashes, and dashboards to drive priorities and measure improvement; ensure the system is observable in development and in fleet.
Mentor engineers across teams (including supplier teams) and act as a senior escalation point for issues that cross OS, services, and hardware.
Collaborate with mechatronics and vehicle integration teams wherever the infotainment stack touches vehicle functions (propulsion, chassis, body, thermal, etc.).

Qualifications

Minimum

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer/Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.
8+ years in automotive or embedded software, with substantial system-level or platform work (infotainment/IVI, digital cockpit, OS/platform).
Strong modern C++ for embedded or real-time systems; Python for tooling/automation/test is a plus.
Hands-on experience with at least one in-vehicle platform (Android-based, Linux-based, or RTOS), including hardware and vehicle network integration.
Solid understanding of vehicle integration (for example, CAN or Automotive Ethernet, diagnostics, ECU interaction).
2+ years leading teams as a tech lead (or equivalent): driving planning, design, and delivery through others, including suppliers.
Proven ability to debug and drive resolution of cross-layer issues using logs, crash data, and metrics.
Effective communication and collaboration skills to influence across teams and organizations.

Nice to Have

Master’s degree in a relevant field.
End-to-end experience on infotainment or digital cockpit programs from bring-up through launch.
Experience with mechatronics, ADAS/HMI interfaces, or connectivity/media stacks (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, cellular, projection).
Exposure to OTA, automotive cybersecurity, or broader software-defined vehicle architectures.
Prior impact at staff+ scope (or equivalent) across multiple teams or suppliers.
