Platform Flex Solution Engineer – BSP Development/Integration (Senior Staff Role)

Responsibilities include driving program-specific custom development for the Flex Platform, leading cross-functional virtual teams across platform, ADAS software, validation, and build organizations, and estimating, modeling, and evaluating Flex Platform system performance for digital cockpit and ADAS workloads, correlating projected performance with actual system implementations. Work hands-on with OEM engineering teams to understand vehicle E/E architecture, backend systems, functional requirements, performance targets, and real-world constraints. Act as a senior hands-on technical leader, directly involved in system design decisions, integration trade-offs, issue triage, and root-cause analysis across Digital Cockpit and ADAS domains. Perform Flex-based Digital Cockpit system integration using Android, QNX RTOS and AUTOSAR Classic and Adaptive stacks, including configuration, integration, and validation. Lead BSP and driver bring-up on customer hardware, debug low-level boot and runtime issues, and configure vehicle communication and diagnostics protocols such as SOME/IP, DoIP, and UDS. Integrate ADAS software stacks (Perception and Drive Policy), analyze end-to-end data flows and latency, and actively profile, assess, and tune system performance to meet Flex platform characterization and workload targets. Drive Continuous integration of software components for digital cockpit/ADAS subsystems and triage regressions Flex Platform Solution integration on Reference and Customer Hardware Tier 1/OEM support for integration of Flex Platform BSP and ADAS stack on the customers' hardware Flex Characterization for mixed criticality Systems Perform system characterization by executing envelope and stress use-case tests that simulate worst-case workload conditions, validating that the Flex Platform solution provides sufficient performance headroom to support OEM-specific extensions and future scalability. Program Execution & Delivery Provide overarching technical leadership for identified the OEM, across all phases (concept, development, validation, SOP, and maintenance). Support design reviews, technical workshops, joint debugging sessions, and on-site integration activities as needed. Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 6+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 5+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 3+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. Act as a technical role model: hands-on, detail-oriented, and able to deep-dive into complex system issues when required. Contribute to internal best practices for customer engagement and ADAS solution definition. Act as the chief technical counterpart to the OEM's engineering leadership for all ADAS and related programs. Serve as the main technical point of contact covering SoC, platform software, algorithms, tools, and system integration topics. Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with the customer's engineering executives, architects, and program leads. Customer Roadmap & System Architecture Develop and maintain a detailed understanding of the customer's: o E/E and compute architecture (in-vehicle and backend/cloud) o ADAS/AD roadmap and feature roadmap 15+ years of experience in senior engineering roles in the Digital Cockpit/ADAS / AD domain at an OEM, Tier-1, semiconductor, or relevant technology supplier. Strong background in Tier 1 automotive systems engineering with focus on: o BSP Integration, Performance analysis, KPI (multi virtual machine) o Vehicle Interface Processor and CAN integration o Compute platform architecture (SoC, GPU/DSP, accelerators) o Embedded SW stacks (OS such as QNX/Linux/Android, middleware, frameworks, toolchains, AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive)) o Desirable: ADAS/AD functions and perception / sensor fusion / planning & control Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams without direct authority in a complex matrix organization. Solid understanding of automotive safety and quality frameworks (e.g., ISO 26262, ASPICE, cybersecurity standards) and their impact on architecture and execution. Excellent communication and presentation skills in English (German strongly preferred), capable of engaging both engineering and executive audiences. Strong problem-solving skills, data-driven and structured, with ability to remain calm and decisive under pressure. Experience working directly with major global OEMs on large-scale Digital Cockpit platform programs. Deep familiarity with one or more of the following domains: o BSP Integration, Hardware Bringup, Performance Analysis o HW/SW co-design and performance optimization on SoC-based ADAS ECUs o System Performance Analysis o System level triaging of issues during integration and stabilization Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Robotics, or related field. Personal Attributes Technically curious and hands-on; able to deep dive into logs, traces, and system behavior when needed. Outspoken and confident, yet collaborative and respectful; able to challenge and be challenged by both customer and internal teams. Strong ownership mindset, acting as “CEO of the account” from a technical perspective. Able to balance strategic, long-term roadmap thinking with tactical, day-to-day execution.
