Middleware Developer

As a Middleware Developer for Linux-based IVI Development with 3-5+ years of experience, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and integrating middleware components for our In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system based on Linux. Your role will involve building and maintaining communication services, multimedia frameworks, and other platform services that connect the Board Support Package (BSP) with the Human-Machine Interface (HMI) layers. Your key responsibilities will include developing and maintaining middleware components such as multimedia frameworks (GStreamer, PulseAudio), communication services (Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS), and vehicle data interfaces. You will collaborate with BSP teams to ensure seamless integration of middleware with hardware and low-level software. Working with HMI developers, you will efficiently expose middleware services for UI consumption. Implementing inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms and service discovery protocols will also be part of your tasks. Additionally, optimizing middleware performance and resource utilization on embedded Linux platforms, debugging and troubleshooting middleware issues, and participating in architectural discussions, code reviews, and documentation are essential aspects of your role. You will be responsible for ensuring that middleware complies with automotive standards and security best practices. To qualify for this position, you should hold a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field, and have at least 3 years of experience in middleware development for embedded Linux systems. Strong knowledge of multimedia frameworks (GStreamer, PulseAudio) and networking protocols is required, along with experience in Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, and CAN bus communication protocols. Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting languages like Python or Bash is essential. Familiarity with Linux IPC mechanisms (DBus, sockets), a good understanding of embedded Linux architecture and cross-layer integration, and strong problem-solving and collaborative skills are also necessary. Preferred skills for this role include experience in automotive IVI or embedded systems development, knowledge of Yocto Project or Buildroot build systems, familiarity with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines, understanding of automotive safety (ISO 26262) and cybersecurity requirements, and exposure to Agile development methodologies.,
