About the Role:
As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for designing and developing complex infotainment systems with a focus on high-performance HMI. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration of software and hardware components. Our ideal candidate is an enthusiastic, detailed-oriented self-starter who demands developer-friendly APIs, bulletproof code, and adheres to SOLID principles and TDD. You will be responsible for participating in the design and development of services, frameworks, and APIs to enable the development of services and applications to allow users to interact with features such as navigation, media, entertainment, phone, voice, and vehicle settings.
Responsibilities:
- Design and develop Rust services in support of infotainment systems and any supporting frameworks.
- Develop reusable modules using SOLID design principles.
- Prepare and maintain comprehensive documentation on software design, architecture, and API usage.
- Create proof of concepts for next-generation infotainment systems.
- Optimize performance by profiling, analyzing, and improving the application code and system integration to enhance overall efficiency.
- Participate in system design, documentation, and testing.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration of software components.
- Work in an agile team of software developers, test engineers, technical product managers, and leads.
Qualifications:
- Bachelors degree in engineering or computer science.
- 3+ years of software development experience.
- 1+ year experience with the Rust programming language.
- 1+ year experience in designing simple, elegant APIs with a strong emphasis on clarity, scalability, flexibility, versioning, and error handling.
- Emphasis on Rust experience: Candidates with less experience or only hobby projects will not meet the needs. Even C++ developers may find it challenging to adapt quickly due to paradigm differences. At least one year of professional Rust experience is required.
Even Better If You Have:
- Masters degree in engineering or computer science.
- 1+ year experience with C++17 programming language.
- Proficiency with scripting languages (Python, Bash).
- Experience profiling and improving embedded software performance.
- Demonstrated expertise and proficiency in pair programming.
- Proficient working in Linux and macOS environments.
- Proficient with version control systems, such as Git, and Agile development methodologies.
- Proven experience in designing simple, elegant APIs with a strong emphasis on clarity, scalability, flexibility, versioning, and error handling.
Client Insights:
- The client will check whether candidates have done 100% Rust development in a company or if their main language was something else and they only ported or moved projects to Rust. They emphasize understanding the depth of professional Rust experience, not just side projects.
- Client recommends asking candidates about their past job experience with Rust within the company to gauge depth.
- Client suggests asking candidates about their biggest challenge with Rust and how they overcame it to assess understanding and engagement.
- Client states that being passionate about Rust is important, as people who do not like the language typically do not reach the required level of expertise. They look for candidates who truly embrace Rust.
- Client values understanding whether candidates appreciate the purpose and benefits of Rust, especially in safety-critical environments.
Target Companies:
- The client mentioned targeting companies like Microsoft, Amazon, Dropbox, and Cloudflare for potential candidates, as they are known to use Rust.
