• Strong programming proficiency in C/C++ and Python.
• Working knowledge of embedded software development on Linux and/or RTOS environments.
• Familiarity with AD/ADAS systems and automotive compute platforms.
• Understanding of software execution concepts — scheduling, inter-process communication, resource management — in real-time embedded systems.
• Practical experience integrating application software with platform-level services on embedded targets.
• Strong debugging, profiling, and analysis skills.
• Flexibility and willingness to work across multiple software layers as project needs evolve.
• Effective communication and presentation skills, with NVIDIA Drive OS and toolchain experience a plus.

Additionally, the ability to work independently with minimal direction is required as are strong verbal and written communication skills. Experience with PCs and application software, such as MS Office tools, is also required.

Education: Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering
