Experience Level: 10+ Years
Role Type: Architect / Technical Lead

Location: Pune / Bangalore / Hyderabad

Position Summary

The System Architect defines the end-to-end hardware-software boundaries, allocation of chip resources, and integration topology for the complete digital cockpit. They bridge the gap between high-performance

computing (HPC) hardware and cross-domain software stacks, working across multi-OS platforms to deliver a unified, high-performance cockpit experience.

Key Responsibilities

- Define and review complete system architecture for next-generation multi-OS cockpit platforms (e.g.,

Linux/Android + QNX).

- Manage overall system resource allocation, memory maps, CPU profiling, and boot-time

optimization.

- Drive cross-domain system integration including 3D HMI deployment, AR/VR navigation, and

audio/voice assistant engines.

- Lead technical discussions on vehicle-wide solutions like Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, SOVD (Service-

Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics), and variant coding.

- Own architecture trade-off decisions across compute, memory, and I/O partitioning between guest

operating systems.

- Collaborate with silicon, hardware, and application teams to align system architecture with platform

roadmaps.

- Review designs, mentor senior engineers, and drive architecture governance across the cockpit

program.

Required Technical Skills

- Mixed-OS system design experience (Linux/Android Automotive OS paired with QNX).
- Deep understanding of cockpit domains: 3D HMI engines (Kanzi/Unreal), Advanced Navigation

(AR/VR), Voice Assistant, and ECNR systems.

- Vehicle lifecycle expertise: diagnostic protocols (SOVD, UDS), Variant Coding, and secure end-to-end

FOTA engineering.

- Strong grounding in Functional Safety Concepts (ISO 26262), ASPICE,



and system-level performance

profiling.

- Ability to define and manage system resource allocation, memory maps, and CPU/boot-time

optimization across HPC platforms.

Preferred Skills

- Experience with automotive HPC SoCs (Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, NVIDIA DRIVE/Orin, Renesas R-

Car, or similar).

- Exposure to hypervisor-based cockpit architectures and multi-domain compute consolidation.
- Familiarity with automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, and vehicle network architecture.
- Prior experience presenting system architecture in customer or technical proposal reviews.

Education

- B.E. / B. Tech / M. Tech in Electronics, Computer Science, or related discipline.
- M.E. / M. Tech or equivalent systems architecture experience preferred for this role.

Project Experience

- Demonstrated ownership of system architecture for at least one production digital cockpit or

infotainment platform.

- Experience taking a multi-OS cockpit system from architecture definition through integration and

release.

Soft Skills

- Strong systems-thinking and cross-domain architecture judgment.
- Technical leadership and ability to align hardware, software, and customer stakeholders.
- Transparent architecture documentation and presentation skills.

Good to Have

- Experience with AR/VR navigation or 3D HMI engine architecture.
- Exposure to SOVD-based vehicle diagnostics implementations.
- Familiarity with safety-driven HMI design constraints.

Expected Deliverables

- Complete system architecture specification for the cockpit platform.
- Resource allocation, memory map, and boot-optimization plans.
- Cross-domain integration roadmap covering HMI, navigation, and voice assistant subsystems.
- Technical governance across OTA, diagnostics, and variant coding workstreams.
