  • 10 days ago
We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Architect with deep expertise in multicore processor platforms, real-time operating systems (RTOS), and embedded software architecture. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with partitioned operating systems, AMP/BMP multiprocessing models, embedded Linux, and containerized application environments. This role will lead the architectural design, evaluation, and optimization of multicore embedded systems, ensuring robust real-time performance and system reliability. The architect will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to define system architecture, develop evaluation strategies, and guide implementation best practices.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Architect and lead the design of multicore embedded software systems using Wind River Helix Virtualization Platform (HVP) with AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
  • Lead the evaluation and performance analysis of multicore processor platforms running real-time and containerized applications.
  • Develop and implement architectural strategies for embedded hybrid Linux and containerized environments alongside safety-certifiable environments.
  • Design and oversee test plans and benchmarks to evaluate multicore performance, real-time behavior, and system reliability.
  • Analyze software and hardware interactions, identify bottlenecks, and recommend architectural and implementation optimizations.
  • Utilize profiling, simulation, and debugging tools tailored for multicore RTOS with partitioned and containerized platforms.
  • Collaborate with hardware engineers, software developers, and system architects to ensure alignment on system design and evaluation goals.
  • Automate evaluation workflows and support continuous integration processes.
  • Prepare and deliver architectural documentation, technical reports, and presentations to stakeholders.
  • Mentor and guide engineering teams on best practices for multicore software architecture, RTOS usage, partitioning, and containerization.
  • Stay current with emerging technologies in multicore processing, real-time systems, Wind River HVP, and container orchestration.
RequirementsQualifications/Required Experience:
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
  • Extensive experience (7+ years) as a software architect or senior engineer in embedded multicore systems.
  • Deep expertise (7+ years) with partitioned operating systems, including those that implement type 1 hypervisors, using AMP/BMP multiprocessing models.
  • Strong knowledge (7+ years) of embedded Linux and containerized application environments (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Proven experience (7+ years) designing and evaluating multicore real-time systems with strict timing and reliability requirements.
  • Proficiency (7+ years) with profiling, simulation, and debugging tools for RTOS and containerized platforms.
  • Experience (7+ years) developing architectural strategies for mixed-criticality and partitioned systems.
  • Skilled in scripting and automation (Python, Bash, etc.) to support evaluation and CI/CD workflows.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
  • Demonstrated leadership in guiding cross-functional teams and mentoring engineers.
  • Familiarity (7+ years) with safety-critical systems with high Levels of Rigor or Design Assurance Levels and industry standards
Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 9 or more years'
related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. PhD+4 years' related work experience, Master+7 years' related work experience). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.CTS Pays For Referrals!
