About the role

Senior Systems Software Engineer focused on bringing low-latency real-time streaming to automotive platforms, extending NVIDIA GeForce NOW-like technology with RTOS safety-critical requirements (ISO 26262).

Responsibilities

  • Extend and adapt GFN's low-latency streaming stack to RTOS platforms (e.g., QNX, AUTOSAR Adaptive/Classic) to meet strict determinism, timing, and partitioning requirements
  • Develop QM-classified streaming software with freedom-from-interference awareness, ensuring architectural isolation from ASIL-rated components per ISO 26262 standard
  • Collaborate with functional safety teams to ensure streaming components meet freedom-from-interference and resource-partitioning requirements relative to colocated safety-critical systems
  • Build and evolve test infrastructure and tools to validate real-time performance and fault-tolerance behavior for automotive streaming scenarios
  • Define and monitor performance/safety metrics and drive continuous product improvement
  • Review code and design across the team, and help evolve team engineering and safety processes

Qualifications

  • Proficiency in C/C++, with strong systems software programming and open-box debugging skills
  • Hands-on experience with development, debugging, and performance tuning of real-time, latency-sensitive software in QNX or other RTOS environments for automotive or a similar safety-critical domain
  • Solid understanding of ISO 26262 classification concepts (QM vs. ASIL) and freedom-from-interference/partitioning principles
  • Experience with real-time video/audio pipelines including encoding, decoding, network protocols (RTP/ RTCP/ SRTP), and QoS algorithms (Adaptive streaming, FEC, L4S, ECN)
  • Understanding of deterministic, thread-safe and memory-safe coding practices
  • BS or MS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Engineering (or equivalent experience) with 8+ years of experience in above areas
