Senior Embedded Software Engineer

About Ottawa Infotainment At Ottawa Infotainment, we’re building the next generation of intelligent vehicle platforms: rethinking the digital cockpit through high-performance compute, embedded software, safety-critical systems, and AI-driven experiences. We are not a traditional Tier 1. We move fast, own the stack, and solve hard problems at the intersection of embedded systems, automotive, and product design. If you want to work on foundational technology that ships into vehicles, this is your role. The Opportunity We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help architect and develop the framework technologies underpinning DragonFire OS and next-generation domain controllers. This role is focused less on feature applications and more on core platform engineering. The software foundations others build upon. What You’ll Work On Develop embedded software frameworks for automotive platforms Design middleware, services,drivers, and reusable platform components Build software for multi-OS and safety-critical architectures (QNX, Linux, Android, RTOS) Develop frameworks supporting graphics, connectivity, audio, vehicle I/O, and domain control Optimize performance, memory, startup times, and system resource utilization Support BSP, low-level integration, and hardware bring-up activities Contribute to software architecture for next-generation centralized compute systems Work closely with systems, hardware, and HMI teams on production programs What We’re Looking For Strong C/C++ embedded development skills Experience with RTOS, Linux, QNX or automotive software stacks Understanding of drivers, middleware, IPC, and systems architecture Familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, AUTOSAR, or vehicle communications Experience debugging on real hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG tools Bonus: hypervisor, graphics pipelines, cybersecurity, AI/edge compute Why Join Oi Work on platform technology, not just application layers Help shape products from architecture to production Join a small elite team doing Tier-1 caliber work with startup velocity Build technology that can redefine software-defined vehicles

Architect and develop embedded software frameworks, middleware, and drivers for automotive domain controllers and DragonFire OS. Focus on optimizing system performance, memory, and resource utilization for safety-critical architectures.

Requires strong C/C++ skills and experience with RTOS, Linux, or QNX within automotive software stacks. Candidates should be proficient in vehicle communications like CAN and Ethernet, and experienced in hardware debugging using JTAG and oscilloscopes.
