The Lead HPC Platform System Debug Engineer plays a critical role in troubleshooting and debugging issues across HPC and Cabin ZCU platforms within a multi-domain, cross-functional team focused on vehicle software validation and quality assurance.

Main Responsibilities:

To ensure the stability and functionality of systems through rigorous validation processes.

• Reproduce and debug software issues during bench, HIL/ViL, vehicle, and program-validation activities; perform initial root cause analysis and triage.

• Integrate software components from internal teams and external vendors; conduct sanity and smoke tests to ensure build stability.

• Reflash builds, execute updates, and assist FOTA investigations; implement small configuration changes to verify hypotheses and fixes.

• Identify issue ownership with specialists and domain teams; facilitate agreement on corrective actions and release strategies.

• Document root causes, workarounds, and next steps; communicate findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

• Maintain and adapt validation setups, including minor bench wiring or hardware modifications to isolate issues.

Key Requirements:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Embedded Systems, Automotive Engineering, or a comparable field.

• 5+ years of experience in embedded software debugging, platform integration, system validation, or root cause analysis.

• Strong understanding of automotive E&E architecture, vehicle subsystem interactions, and HPC software architectures.

• Hands-on experience with system-level debugging, issue reproduction, root cause analysis, and technical triage.

• Practical experience with hypervisor-based platforms and proficiency in QNX and Linux/Android; familiarity with bootloaders (U-Boot, ABL) and debugging tools (JTAG, Lauterbach, GDB, etc.).

• Knowledge of software flashing, updates, and FOTA concepts; familiarity with diagnostics and communication protocols (UDS, DoIP, OBD-II, CAN, etc.).

• Strong communication skills for articulating technical findings and preparing technical reports.

• Experience with benches, HIL/VHIL environments, and/or vehicle testing.

• Willingness to work on-site in Turin and travel occasionally (10-20%).

Nice to Have:

• Experience with Qualcomm 7255/8255 or equivalent HPC-class SoCs (NVIDIA, Intel, etc.).

• Previous work in cross-functional issue-resolution teams or vehicle-integration projects.

• Familiarity with infotainment domains such as displays, cameras, or vehicle networking.

• Exposure to issue-tracking, software release, and quality management processes.

• Understanding of AUTOSAR BSW / Adaptive AUTOSAR and ASPICE-compliant workflows.
