Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Architect

About the role
We are looking for an SDV Architect with strong hands-on expertise in at least one core area of the SDV stack, along with a good system-level understanding of vehicle software architecture.
You will contribute to designing scalable, service-oriented vehicle platforms and work closely with platform, middleware, and integration teams.

What you will do

• Contribute to end-to-end SDV architecture across compute, network, OS, and middleware
• Own and drive design decisions within your area of specialization
• Break down system designs into components, interfaces, and APIs
• Contribute to service-oriented architecture and vehicle data layer design
• Work on virtualization or container-based platforms as relevant
• Support integration and validation activities (SIL / HIL / CI/CD)
• Follow defined architecture governance and design practices
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, BSP, middleware, applications)
• Participate in design reviews and technical discussions

What we are looking for

• Strong hands-on experience in at least one of the following areas:
• Embedded platform development (Linux/Yocto, BSP, RTOS, bring-up)
• Middleware / service-oriented architecture (SOME/IP, DDS, APIs, data layer)

Good understanding of:

• SDV concepts (HPC, zonal architectures, software-defined systems)
• Networking (CAN, Ethernet, SOME/IP, DoIP)
• Embedded Linux (Yocto) including BSP, system bring-up, and middleware integration
• C++ coding and understanding of advanced C++ concepts
• Containerization (Docker or similar)
• CI/CD and DevOps concepts
• Exposure to AUTOSAR Adaptive
• Architecture tools (Enterprise Architect, Rhapsody)

Good to have

• Experience with virtualization (Xen, QNX, L4Re)
• Exposure to middleware stacks (Vector, EB CORBOS)
• Prior OEM / Tier-1 project experience
