Summary: The Software Architect (Embedded) will research, design, deploy and delegate real-time embedded software architectures in high-performance SoC processors for computer vision. The asymmetric SoC processor cores will be leveraged to implement front-end high-mips computer vision convolutions and transforms and back-end applications to deliver high reliability vision-based in-cabin detection, classification, identification and tracking features. The Software Architect (Embedded) will interface with 3rd party and internally developed computer vision algorithms, requiring a good level of experience in implementing and performance-assessing computer vision algorithm. This individual will lead a team of Software Developers by performing the following duties; Duties/Responsibilities:

• Decompose system requirements and system design elements into software requirements
• Lead a team to develop software that meets ASIL safety standards, implement diagnostics, assure safe states, and follow ISO-26262 engineering processes
• Collaborate with Hardware Engineers to review, improve, implement and test hardware-software interface requirements
• Create and maintain off-target test harnesses for application-layer software, to ensure portability, simulate and maintain a stable environment during development
• Design SoC software architectures to optimally implement computer vision features; pipelining vs. parallelism methods of concurrency; buffering vs. streaming; symmetric vs. asymmetric multiprocessing decisions; defining or implementing interfaces to the algorithm features; considering sensor and processed data rates; clock domains; streaming and buffering
• Communicate software and systems design to a team of Engineers using UML
• Conduct formal process-driven reviews of software requirements, architecture, design and code; provide and respond to peer feedback professionally and judiciously
• Integrate computer vision algorithms into embedded architectures: Define performance vs. precision tradeoffs in the presence of resource constraints; Assess error propagation from linearization, quantization, performance dropouts; Support auto coder configuration like MATLAB coder
• Develop and direct software system testing procedures, programming, and documentation
  Education/Experience:
  • Master's degree in Electrical/Computer Engineering or Computer Science
  • 7+ years of embedded real-time software implementation in C or C++, including review, standards-based static analysis, and integration test harness development
  • 5+ years of embedded software architectural design as part of an engineering process (SPICE, CMMI, V model, Waterfall, Agile)
  • 3+ years on embedded software projects implementing a functional safety level of ISO 26262 ASIL-A or greater
  • 2+ years industry experience as a Lead Software Engineer or Software Architect
  • Practical experience with cybersecurity vulnerabilities and best practices in embedded software
  • Experience setting up and maintaining software projects operating within a high-performance SoC with processor cores interfacing with hard silicon or FPGA cores; emphasis on Visual Studio for SIL, Code Composer Studio, and Xilinx SDK
  • Ability to demonstrate and assess proficiency in concepts of UML modeling, object-oriented design, data encapsulation, abstraction, coding standards, defensive programming, software layering, multi-processing and synchronization
  • Well-rounded experience in tracing, profiling and instrumenting embedded software to debug, measure performance and optimize, both on- and off-target
  • Task automation in at least one scripting language, including Python, PERL, bash, or others
  • Practical experience with communication protocols such as (Q)SPI, I2C, crossbar, AXI, and Ethernet
  • Hands-on experience communicating with high bandwidth sensors such as HiSpi or H/V encoded images; 3D image data streams; radar data streams
