• Smart Cockpit OS Architecture Drive end-to-end architecture design and evolution of the cockpit OS, from kernel to framework, ensuring industry-leading performance and robustness.

• Multi-Domain Secure Convergence Lead the design of virtualization, secure isolation, and efficient resource sharing architectures to support convergence of cockpit, vehicle control, and autonomous driving domains.

• System-on-Chip Optimization Optimize performance across macro/micro kernel designs, and leverage CPU/GPU/NPU/memory/bandwidth capabilities of automotive SoCs.

• Next-Gen AI-Centric OS Develop key OS technologies to support efficient AI model inference and heterogeneous resource scheduling, enabling a solid foundation for onboard AI applications.

Required Qualifications

• Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

• 7+ years of OS kernel development experience, with notable contributions to the Linux kernel community

• Deep understanding of low-level system performance and reliability optimization

• Expert in kernel scheduling, memory management, device drivers, and system debugging

• Recognized authority in OS architecture with leadership in major system design projects

• Strong publication or patent record in system software

• Excellent cross-cultural communication and strategic thinking

• Fluent in English and confident in public technical discourse

Preferred Qualifications (Plus):

• Maintainer or technical committee member in Linux Foundation or similar open source orgs

• Original contributions in OS kernels, real-time systems, or embedded OS

• Familiarity with automotive OS safety and compliance requirements

• Experience with RISC-V and next-gen computing platforms

• Expertise in OS security, virtualization, and domain isolation

• Publications in top-tier conferences (OSDI, ASPLOS, EuroSys, etc.)

• Proven track record in driving large-scale tech transformations

• Extensive collaboration experience with multinational R&D teams

We offer globally competitive compensation, rich R&D resources, and the rare opportunity to help define the future of automotive computing. Join us to become a driving force in reshaping the vehicle OS landscape.
