Job Description 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
- Solid systems-thinking and cross-domain architecture judgment.
- Technical leadership and ability to align hardware, software, and customer stakeholders.
- Clear 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.
