Experience Level: 10+ Years

Role Type: Architect / Technical Lead

Location: Pune / Bangalore / Hyderabad

Position Summary

This secure-critical infrastructure specialist focuses on the virtualization layer. They ensure that un-trusted infotainment software (like Android guest OS) can run alongside safety-critical real-time applications (like instrument clusters) on the same SoC without interference.

Key Responsibilities

●Drive the low-level, system-level software design for QNX RTOS and Type-1 Hypervisor architectures.

●Design high-performance, secure Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms between virtualized guest operating systems.

●Architect hardware passthrough, device virtualization, and shared-resource scheduling rules (GPU,

Audio, Peripherals).

●Enforce freedom-from-interference (FFI) to isolate safety-critical clusters from infotainment environments.

●Define secure boot and hardware security module (HSM) integration strategy for the virtualization layer.

●Review low-level designs, mentor engineers, and enforce coding and safety-partitioning standards.

●Collaborate with silicon vendors and hardware teams on BSP and hypervisor bring-up.

Required Technical Skills

●BlackBerry QNX Neutrino RTOS, QNX Hypervisor, or similar embedded virtualization stacks (e.g.,

OpenSynergy, COVESA).

●IPC design (PPS, QNX native messaging), Board Support Packages (BSP), and device driver development.

●Strong grounding in Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, NVIDIA DRIVE Orin/Rubin, or NXP S32G processor architectures.

●Safety isolation expertise: ASIL-B to ASIL-D structural partitioning,



secure boot chains, and hardware security module (HSM) hooks.

Preferred Skills

●Experience architecting hypervisor-based consolidation of safety-critical and infotainment domains on a single SoC.

●Exposure to GPU, audio, or peripheral virtualization and shared-resource scheduling design.

●Familiarity with ISO 26262 functional safety processes applied to virtualization layers.

●Experience working directly with silicon vendors on BSP/hypervisor bring-up.

Education

●B.E. / B.Tech / M.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or related discipline.

Project Experience

●Demonstrated ownership of QNX/hypervisor-based system architecture on at least one production or pre-production vehicle program.

●Experience isolating safety-critical clusters from infotainment guest OS on a shared SoC.

Soft Skills

●Strong low-level systems architecture and safety-partitioning judgment.

●Technical leadership and mentoring ability.

●Clear documentation and communication with hardware, safety, and silicon teams.

Good to Have

●Direct experience with ASIL-D structural partitioning on production programs.

●Familiarity with secure boot chains and HSM-based key management.

●Experience with multiple guest OS combinations (Android, Linux, RTOS) under a single hypervisor.

Expected Deliverables

●QNX/Hypervisor system architecture and IPC design specification.

●Hardware passthrough, device virtualization, and scheduling design documentation.

●Freedom-from-interference and safety-partitioning compliance evidence.
