System architect – infotainment & cockpit
Iravan Technologies · Maharashtra, India
Job Description
Experience Level: 10+ Years
Role Type: Architect / Technical Lead
Location: Pune / Bangalore / Hyderabad
Position Summary
The System Architect defines the end-to-end hardware-software boundaries, allocation of chip resources, and integration topology for the complete digital cockpit. They bridge the gap between high-performance
computing (HPC) hardware and cross-domain software stacks, working across multi-OS platforms to deliver a unified, high-performance cockpit experience.
Key Responsibilities
•Define and review complete system architecture for next-generation multi-OS cockpit platforms (e.g.,
Linux/Android + QNX).
•Manage overall system resource allocation, memory maps, CPU profiling, and boot-time
optimization.
•Drive cross-domain system integration including 3 D HMI deployment, AR/VR navigation, and
audio/voice assistant engines.
•Lead technical discussions on vehicle-wide solutions like Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, SOVD (Service-
Oriented Vehicle Diagnostics), and variant coding.
•Own architecture trade-off decisions across compute, memory, and I/O partitioning between guest
operating systems.
•Collaborate with silicon, hardware, and application teams to align system architecture with platform
roadmaps.
•Review designs, mentor senior engineers, and drive architecture governance across the cockpit
program.
Required Technical Skills
Mixed-OS system design experience (Linux/Android Automotive OS paired with QNX). Deep understanding of cockpit domains: 3 D HMI engines (Kanzi/Unreal), Advanced Navigation(AR/VR), Voice Assistant, and ECNR systems.
•Vehicle lifecycle expertise: diagnostic protocols (SOVD, UDS), Variant Coding, and secure end-to-end
FOTA engineering.
•Strong grounding in Functional Safety Concepts (ISO 26262), ASPICE, and system-level performance
profiling.
•Ability to define and manage system resource allocation, memory maps, and CPU/boot-time
optimization across HPC platforms.
Preferred Skills
•Experience with automotive HPC So Cs (Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride, NVIDIA DRIVE/Orin, Renesas R-
Car, or similar).
Exposure to hypervisor-based cockpit architectures and multi-domain compute consolidation. Familiarity with automotive Ethernet, SOME/IP, and vehicle network architecture. Prior experience presenting system architecture in customer or technical proposal reviews.Education
B. E. / B. Tech / M. Tech in Electronics, Computer Science, or related discipline. M. E. / M. Tech or equivalent systems architecture experience preferred for this role.Project Experience
•Demonstrated ownership of system architecture for at least one production digital cockpit or
infotainment platform.
•Experience taking a multi-OS cockpit system from architecture definition through integration and
release.
Soft Skills
Strong systems-thinking and cross-domain architecture judgment. Technical leadership and ability to align hardware, software, and customer stakeholders. Clear architecture documentation and presentation skills.Good to Have
Experience with AR/VR navigation or 3 D HMI engine architecture. Exposure to SOVD-based vehicle diagnostics implementations. Familiarity with safety-driven HMI design constraints.Expected Deliverables
Complete system architecture specification for the cockpit platform. Resource allocation, memory map, and boot-optimization plans. Cross-domain integration roadmap covering HMI, navigation, and voice assistant subsystems. Technical governance across OTA, diagnostics, and variant coding workstreams.Details
