Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate will have proven experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing embedded frameworks for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) on platforms such as NVIDIA Orin/Thor or Qualcomm 8797
- Familiarity with open-source ADAS stack, ML/AI model optimization, and cross-platform inference engines is highly preferred
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a closely related field
- 7+ years of Linux-based embedded software development experience in automotive or related domains
- Proven experience with ADAS frameworks on NVIDIA Orin/Thor, Qualcomm 8797, or similar high-performance embedded platforms
- Hands-on experience with sensor integration (cameras, radars, LiDARs) and control outputs via CAN/LIN/Ethernet
- Experience in ML/AI model optimization and inference deployment using ONNX(or other deep learning models), CUDA, TensorRT, or SNPE
- Strong programming skills in C/C++ and Python for embedded Linux System development
- Deep knowledge of embedded Linux/RTOS, inter-process communication, scheduling, and memory management
- Experience in OTA updates, diagnostics, and system performance optimization
- Familiarity with diagnostic standards and protocols, such as UDS over IP or CAN
- Solid understanding of log management, data pipelines, and real-time debugging tools
- Strong problem-solving and cross-functional communication skills
Desirable
- Proven experience integrating open-source ADAS/AV stacks, with knowledge of its module architecture (perception, planning, control) and adaptation to proprietary hardware
- Familiarity with simulation tools and HIL testing environments for ADAS validation
- Knowledge of machine learning deployment in ADAS pipelines (e.g., TensorRT for Nvidia, Hexagon DSP for Qualcomm)
- Experience with Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer) for validating ADAS-related features
What the job involves
- We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join our ADAS platform development team
- The engineer will play a key role in developing and integrating ADAS frameworks with vehicle systems, evaluating and enhancing platform capabilities, while also ensuring seamless integration of sensor inputs and vehicle control outputs
- This role will analyze ADAS platform requirements and define technical specifications for system-level framework development
- Evaluate platform-level capabilities such as task scheduling, inter-process communication, log/data management, OTA, and diagnostics to meet safety and performance needs
- Design and implement ADAS framework components on NVIDIA Orin/Thor or Qualcomm-based platforms, such as task scheduling, messaging, logging, OTA, diagnostics and Health
- Develop middleware and integration layers to support sensors (cameras, radars, LiDARs) and control output to vehicle actuators (braking, steering, acceleration) over CAN/LIN/Ethernet
- Integrate open-source ADAS stacks into automotive-grade systems, ensuring compatibility with platform-specific hardware and software ecosystems, and optimize inference on CUDA or SNPE toolchains
- Optimize platform performance for stability, latency, and reliability
- Enhance ADAS frameworks to support scalability, maintainability, and efficient debugging
- Conduct integration testing of ADAS framework components with perception modules, decision-making units, and vehicle actuators
- Perform platform stress testing and ensure compliance with automotive safety and reliability standards
- Work closely with hardware, systems, and vehicle integration/test engineers to ensure robust end-to-end performance
- Engage with external vendors and partners for toolchain, platform, and sensor integration
- Document system architecture, design decisions, and integration procedures
- Maintain configuration management for multi-platform builds and continuous integration process
Our take
The world of transformative vehicle technologies goes far beyond household-named companies like Tesla. Faraday Future is creating user-centric technology first vehicles, establishing new paradigms in human-vehicle interaction by combining mobility with artificial intelligence, the internet, and advanced R&D technology, effectively changing the way we travel.
Electric vehicles offer more flexibility in terms of space utilization, and the design of Faraday Future’s EVs is unmatched. Designed with "TechLuxury" in mind, the vehicles were designed from the inside out, building a vehicle around a truly unique interior. The company is integrating TTS technology from Cerence, bringing a human-like quality to its in-car assistant.
The automotive startup has faced supply chain challenges affecting the entire industry but has received staggering amounts of funding to accelerate growth and the development of this Faraday X (FX) strategy. With its first two FX prototypes set for testing in Los Angeles very soon, the company is poised for exciting progress in its innovations.
