• Experience working on automotive HMI such as cluster, infotainment, ADAS, or map navigation.

Responsibilities:

• Bring our Real Time 3D runtime to embedded platforms such as Embedded Linux, QNX, and Android Automotive OS by developing new features and integrations for industries like automotive HMI.
• Integrate Unity into native Android apps, including via Unity Render Service, and build the graphics and windowing layer that powers multi-screen, multi-touch digital cockpits and HMIs.
• Profile and optimize runtime performance, memory, startup/load time, and iteration speed of Unity for resource-constrained embedded SoCs across platforms.
• Partner directly with customers like automotive OEMs as a technical point of contact, investigating issues, removing performance bottlenecks, and supporting production success.
• Raise the engineering bar through design discussions, code reviews, and automated testing.
• Ramp up on an embedded platform, ship integrations and bug fixes, and contribute to customer-facing investigations.
• Own a meaningful area of a platform and its performance on constrained embedded SoCs, while acting as a technical point of contact for a customer.
• Guide team-wide initiatives with your experience and expertise.
• Help define the technical bar across the team and shape how we support the next generation of software-defined vehicles.
