Sr. Staff SoC BSW Engineer - OS, Variant Management, Diagnostics, IPC Stack

We are seeking a Sr. Staff SoC BSW Engineer - OS, Variant Management, Diagnostics, IPC Stack to lead the development, integration, and optimization of configurable base software components for complex automotive SoC platforms. This role focuses on enabling scalable software through robust variant management, cross-domain inter-processor communication (IPC), and advanced diagnostics integration.

As part of the Base Software (BSW) Engineering team at Stellantis, you will play a critical role in developing the platform software infrastructure that supports a range of vehicle ECUs for ADAS, Infotainment, Zonal Control, and Central Compute architectures

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and implementation of variant management strategies for scalable software across multiple SoC-based ECU configurations

• Architect and develop IPC stacks for communication between heterogeneous cores and domains using shared memory, SPI, UART, or VirtIO protocols

• Integrate and configure diagnostic services, supporting UDS, DTC, and DoIP across multiple software partitions

• Collaborate with feature owners, OS teams, and hardware stakeholders to ensure consistent behavior across software variants

• Define and manage feature flags, configuration switches, and integration guidelines to support platform reuse

• Support AUTOSAR and non-AUTOSAR environments, ensuring compatibility and traceability of configuration items

• Debug and optimize IPC and diagnostic modules for performance, latency, and resource usage

• Enable integration of diagnostics and IPC into CI/CD pipelines, test automation, and simulation frameworks

• Ensure software compliance with ISO 26262, ASPICE, and cybersecurity standards (e.g., ISO/SAE 21434)

• Contribute to system design documentation, variant configuration guidelines, and technical training for cross-functional teams

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

• A minimum of 8 years of experience in embedded software development with a focus on platform-level software, configuration, and diagnostics

• Proficient in C/C++, with deep understanding of multicore SoC architectures

• Experience developing IPC mechanisms across cores and OS domains (shared memory, SPI, UART, VirtIO, etc.)

• Strong understanding of diagnostic stacks (UDS ISO-14229, DTC handling, DoIP ISO-13400), and fault management architectures

• Familiarity with variant management tools, software configuration workflows, and embedded build systems

• Knowledge of AUTOSAR Classic or Adaptive and embedded diagnostics standards

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field

• Experience with embedded virtualization, QNX Hypervisor, or Android GVM-based IPC communication

• Exposure to configuration tools like Vector DaVinci, EB tresos, or Yocto

• Knowledge of ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and functional safety diagnostic requirements

• Proficiency in scripting (Python, Shell) for toolchain automation and configuration validation

• Experience with automotive protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet) and network diagnostics
