Staff Embedded Logging Software Developer

Role Overview

• Define and implement Platform Log Client behaviors across Android, Linux, and QNX.
• Manage volatile buffers and persistent storage (log files and packages), including rotation, compression, retention, and quotas.
• Support vehicle‑local data access mechanisms (e.g., USB‑based retrieval) when connectivity is limited.
• Build/extend a Log Control Interface Library to handle configuration retrieval, validation, arbitration (including TTL for local overrides), and persistence/fallback to last‑known‑good.
• Implement interactions between vehicle log control logic, platform clients, and configuration providers.
• Define API contracts for configuration updates, log control, and create/upload package triggers; align with in‑vehicle UX/HMI flows.
• Design and operate reliable egress paths for: Log Streaming File‑based transfer of high‑fidelity artifacts (binary logs, crash dumps, multi‑file log packages).
• Specify behaviors to ensure dependable delivery under varying connectivity and resource conditions.
• Implement runtime controls to enable/disable logging subsystems locally and remotely.
• Establish startup sequencing and resource budgets (CPU, memory, flash) that safeguard real‑time and safety‑critical workloads.
• Ensure compliance with cybersecurity and data‑protection requirements for both local and remote access to log settings and log data.
• Champion consistent logging schemas, naming, and formatting across platforms; drive structured logging best practices.
• Produce clear design documents, configuration guides, and support operational runbooks.
• Collaborate closely with embedded platform teams, observability/data engineering, product, and validation to deliver end‑to‑end data flows from ECU to cloud.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 8+ years in embedded software development or systems engineering across Android, Linux, and/or QNX.
• Strong coding proficiency in C/C++ and Android Java with experience in platform‑level integrations.
• Demonstrated experience integrating with control plane services (configuration retrieval, arbitration, persistence/fallback) and data plane pipelines (streaming and file‑based transfer).
• Hands‑on experience with: o File management workflows; file rotation/compression, retention, and storage quotas. o Logger ecosystems (e.g., Android logs, QNX slogger2, Linux journal/syslog) and buffer/file management at scale.
• Deep understanding of ECU constraints: startup sequencing, CPU/memory/flash budgets, and contention mitigation.
• Familiarity with structured logging guidelines and driving cross‑team compliance.
• Experience designing metrics/telemetry for operational visibility and remote control at fleet scale.
• Clear, concise technical communication; strong cross‑team collaboration and design documentation skills.
