Experience Level: 10+ Years
Role Type: Architect / Technical Lead
Location: Pune / Bangalore / Hyderabad
Position Summary
This safe-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 So C 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
•Black Berry QNX Neutrino RTOS, QNX Hypervisor, or similar embedded virtualization stacks (e.g.,
Open Synergy, COVESA).
•IPC design (PPS, QNX native messaging), Board Support Packages (BSP), and device driver
development.
•Solid grounding in Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, NVIDIA DRIVE Orin/Rubin, or NXP S32 G 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 So C.
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
