About the role

Staff Software Engineer focusing on Linux kernel and camera pipeline development for General Motors. Collaborating on advanced driver assistance and autonomous features for software-defined vehicles.

Responsibilities

Develop and enhance camera drivers on high ended SOC platforms like QCOM chipsets or Nvidia.
Develop and enhance Linux kernel and device drivers for camera sensors, deserializers/serializers, and video interfaces (e.g., MIPI-CSI, GMSL, I²C, PCIe).
Lead camera and video pipeline bring-up, including sensor initialization either through proprietary chip provider frameworks or V4L2 integration, image processing path validation, and synchronization with SoC ISPs.
Optimize end-to-end camera data flow, ensuring low-latency and high-throughput streaming across multiple sensors and ECUs.
Integrate and debug hardware components such as CSI receivers, deserializers.
Good understanding of GMSL and FPDLink technologies.
Implement and validate diagnostics and health monitoring mechanisms for camera subsystems, enabling predictive fault detection and reporting through UDS/DTC frameworks.
Support manufacturing and production readiness, including camera calibration, firmware flashing, and functional validation on production lines.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, perception, and system validation) to identify and resolve hardware-software interaction issues.
Optimize Linux stack video stack to achieve camera boot KPI requirements.
Writing YOCTO recipes to integrate new components within build system.
Define and execute OKRs focused on improving camera stack reliability, boot time, and video pipeline stability.

Bachelor’s degree in electrical, Computer Engineering, or related field
7+ years of experience in embedded Linux kernel and driver development, including camera/video subsystems.
Deep understanding of QCOM video frameworks and Nvidia video frameworks.
Deep understanding of Linux kernel internals, V4L2, media controller frameworks, and memory management for video streaming.
Strong hands-on experience with camera bring-up — MIPI-CSI, deserializers, I²C-based control, and ISP interfacing.
Experience with BSP and bootloader development (U-Boot) for embedded SoCs.
Proficiency with hardware communication protocols (I²C, SPI, PCIe, USB, MIPI).
Knowledge of networked video streaming, Ethernet, and synchronization mechanisms (PTP/gPTP, FSYNC).
Strong debugging skills using JTAG, GDB, ftrace, perf, kdump, and logic analyzers.
Familiarity with hardware validation, firmware flashing, and end-of-line testing processes.
Experience with diagnostics frameworks, DTC reporting, and system health monitoring.
Proven problem-solving ability to isolate and resolve issues across hardware, firmware, and software boundaries.
Excellent communication and teamwork skills across hardware and software disciplines.

Bonus Potential: An incentive pay program offers payouts based on company performance, job level, and individual performance.
Company Vehicle: Upon successful completion of a motor vehicle report review, you will be eligible to participate in a company vehicle evaluation program, through which you will be assigned a General Motors vehicle to drive and evaluate.
