QNXQualcomm SnapdragonADSP/QDSP6
Role Overview
About the Role:
We are seeking an accomplished Staff Embedded Software Engineer to play a key role in the development of next-generation automotive infotainment platforms. As a Staff Engineer, you will provide both technical leadership and hands-on expertise in the design, integration, and optimization of embedded audio software for our QNX-based infotainment HPC, running on Qualcomm Snapdragon SoCs. This role focuses on software below the application layer—encompassing the audio DSP stack, QNX audio resource managers and drivers, and SoC-level audio hardware enablement—to deliver robust, low-latency audio platforms that support multi-zone playback, voice/phone integration, navigation and ADAS chimes, and other advanced in-vehicle audio experiences.
Key Responsibilities:
Lead bring-up and integration of audio subsystems on new SoC platforms and hardware revisions, working closely with Qualcomm FAE/support, QNX/BlackBerry support, and internal hardware teams.
Design and implement low-latency, multi-zone, multi-stream audio routing architectures to support features such as simultaneous navigation prompts, phone calls, media playback, ADAS chimes, and multi-speaker/zone output.
Debug and resolve complex audio issues across the stack — pops/clicks, latency, synchronization, underruns/overruns, power-state transitions, and audio-video sync.
Define and enforce automotive-grade quality practices: functional safety considerations, startup/boot time budgets, resource/power constraints, and long-term serviceability.
Collaborate cross-functionally with application-layer teams (Android Automotive / AAOS or other infotainment frameworks), hardware/EE teams, and Qualcomm partner engineering.
Mentor mid-level and senior engineers, perform design and code reviews, and set technical standards and best practices for the audio domain within base software.
Partner with your manager on technical roadmap planning, estimation, and hiring/growth of the audio competency within the team.
Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of field/production issues related to audio.
Support the architecture and technical roadmap for audio software on our QNX-based infotainment HPC (Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC), spanning audio DSP (ADSP/QDSP6), QNX audio drivers/resource managers, and audio HAL/middleware integration.
