System Software Architect – Edge & ECU Systems

Job Title: System Software Architect Edge & ECU Systems

Role Overview

We are seeking a seasoned System Software Architect with 20+ years of experience in architecting and delivering edge computing platforms and Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software systems. This role is highly hands-on and spans the complete software stackfrom Firmware, BSP, OS, Virtualization, Middleware, to Applications.

As a thought leader, you will bridge embedded/automotive ECU platforms with next-generation edge systems, ensuring scalable, reliable, and high-performance software for AI-driven edge, automotive, industrial automation, and real-time computing.

You will influence silicon and hardware design, shape pre-silicon methodologies, and drive full-stack enablement with a strong focus on I/O subsystems, interconnects, memory, and power efficiency.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and own end-to-end system software architecture across Edge and ECU platforms, aligned with product vision and roadmap.
• Architect scalable, modular, and reusable software frameworks spanning Firmware ? BSP ? OS ? Middleware ? Virtualization ? Applications.
• Drive hardware-software co-design, collaborating closely with silicon, hardware, and system engineering teams.
• Hands-on experience with ARM CPU Architecture for edge computing platforms, covering low-level software, multicore bring-up, and system performance optimization
• Lead the definition and development of pre-silicon/emulation-based enablement environments for complete software stack validation.
• Anticipate and solve system-level challenges involving I/O performance, latency, memory hierarchy, and power optimization.
• Architect and integrate automotive-grade ECU software frameworks, including AUTOSAR (Classic & Adaptive), functional safety, and in-vehicle communication stacks.
• Define debug methodologies and system-level KPIs for silicon bring-up, ECU validation, and I/O subsystem tuning.
• Provide architectural leadership on PCIe, Ethernet (including TSN), CAN, and high-speed interconnects.
• Partner with cross-functional teamsnetworking, storage, I/O subsystems, memory, and power validationto deliver robust solutions.
• Serve as a technical mentor and leader, guiding teams across multiple domains.

Required Skills & Expertise

• System Software & OS: Deep expertise in Linux internals, kernel, drivers, real-time OS (RTOS), containers, and virtualization.
• ECU / Automotive Software: Strong knowledge of ECU architecture, AUTOSAR (Classic & Adaptive),
• I/O Subsystems: Proven experience in architecting and validating PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, USB, I2C, SPI, SMBus, and storage interfaces.
• Memory & Power Analysis: Strong background in memory subsystems (DDR, LPDDR, persistent memory), bandwidth/latency tuning, and power-performance tradeoff analysis.
• Hardware/Firmware Co-Design: Hands-on experience with silicon bring-up, BSP, low-level debugging, and cross-domain HW/SW validation.
• Performance & Reliability: Expertise in system tuning, power optimization, latency reduction, and ensuring high-reliability real-time performance.
• Programming Skills: Expert in C, C++, Python, with ability to set coding standards and perform system-level reviews.
• Leadership & Mentorship: Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional technical teams and resolve complex I/O and system-level issues.

Education & Experience

• B.Tech/M.Tech in Computer Engineering, Electronics, or related field.
• 20+ years of experience in system software architecture spanning ECU, embedded, and Edge platforms.
• Proven track record of delivering production-grade, safety-critical, and high-performance platforms in automotive and Edge ecosystems
