The Data Engineering organization at General Motors Canada is developing a unified, scalable Vehicle Logging Architecture to enable consistent, secure, and high‑fidelity logging from vehicle ECUs to the cloud. We’re seeking a Staff Embedded Logging Software Developer to design and integrate embedded logging pipelines across diverse in‑vehicle platforms, ensuring cohesive interaction between the control plane (configuration, arbitration, lifecycle) and the data plane (streaming telemetry and file‑based transfer).
The ideal candidate brings deep embedded expertise in C/C++ and Android, a track record of delivering solutions across Android Automotive, Linux, and QNX, and hands‑on experience scaling log data flows from ECU to cloud while meeting strict reliability, performance, and security requirements.
Define and implement Platform Log Client behaviors across Android, Linux, and QNX.
