Embedded Architect

Innowhyte is seeking a highly experienced Embedded Architect with deep expertise in designing and developing embedded applications for infotainment, automotive, or healthcare systems. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with SOC platforms such as Qualcomm, MediaTek, and NXP, and strong skills in Linux/Android embedded systems architecture, virtualization, and hardware-software integration.

Key Responsibilities

·       Architect and develop embedded applications across infotainment, automotive, or healthcare systems.

·       Design and integrate Linux/Android operating systems into embedded hardware, including device drivers, kernel modules, system calls, and system-level programming.

·       Implement virtualization technologies for embedded systems, including virtual machines, containers, hypervisors, orchestration, and hardware/device virtualization.

·       Develop and optimize networking stacks, network drivers, and configure network interfaces for embedded platforms.

·       Architect and manage storage systems, including disk partitioning, RAID, distributed file systems, replication, and backup for block and object storage.

·       Implement security best practices, including secure boot, secure firmware updates, encryption, authentication, access control, and secure communication protocols.

·       Optimize software performance for resource-constrained embedded systems, including memory management, process scheduling, and code profiling.

·       Design systems for observability and maintainability, including logging, monitoring, alerting, automation, and testing.

·       Integrate hardware interfaces such as PCIe, I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, USB, Ethernet, FPD, MIPI, CSI, HDMI, and LVDS with software components.

·       Lead system integration, including software design patterns, APIs, and service-oriented architectures.

·       Debug and troubleshoot low-level software issues, including system crashes, device failures, and performance bottlenecks.

·       Evaluate and provide feedback on hardware chipsets and schematics for future products.

·       Organize, lead, and approve design and test plan reviews.

·       Document architectures using industry-standard diagramming models.

·       Collaborate effectively within Agile development teams using tools like Jira, GitLab, Jenkins, and Confluence.

Required Qualifications

·       Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience.

·       10 years programming experience in Linux/Android embedded systems.

·       10 years experience in embedded systems architecture, design, and development in aviation, automotive, or similar industries.

·       Strong understanding of multicore SOC hardware, virtualization, concurrency, virtual memory, caching, interrupts, device drivers, real-time, and assembler programming.

·       5 years experience with Qualcomm, MediaTek, NXP, or similar SOC architectures using Android or Linux.

·       Experience implementing virtualization technologies in embedded systems using LXC, QNX, Docker, Kubernetes, or similar.

·       8 years of experience in architecting complex embedded systems.

Preferred Skills

·       Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills at network and system layers.

·       Experience in leading and mentoring engineering teams.

·       Exceptional verbal, written, and collaboration skills.

·       Familiarity with Agile development processes and CI/CD pipelines.
