About Ottawa Infotainment

At Ottawa Infotainment, we’re building the next generation of intelligent vehicle platforms: rethinking the digital cockpit through high-performance compute, embedded software, safety-critical systems, and AI-driven experiences. We are not a traditional Tier 1. We move fast, own the stack, and solve hard problems at the intersection of embedded systems, automotive, and product design. If you want to work on foundational technology that ships into vehicles, this is your role.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to help architect and develop the framework technologies underpinning DragonFire OS and next-generation domain controllers. This role is focused less on feature applications and more on core platform engineering. The software foundations others build upon.

What You’ll Work On

  • Develop embedded software frameworks for automotive platforms
  • Design middleware, services, drivers, and reusable platform components
  • Build software for multi-OS and safety-critical architectures (QNX, Linux, Android, RTOS)
  • Develop frameworks supporting graphics, connectivity, audio, vehicle I/O, and domain control
  • Optimize performance, memory, startup times, and system resource utilization
  • Support BSP, low-level integration, and hardware bring-up activities
  • Contribute to software architecture for next-generation centralized compute systems
  • Work closely with systems, hardware, and HMI teams on production programs

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong C/C++ embedded development skills
  • Experience with RTOS, Linux, QNX or automotive software stacks
  • Understanding of drivers, middleware, IPC, and systems architecture
  • Familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, AUTOSAR, or vehicle communications
  • Experience debugging on real hardware using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG tools
  • Bonus: hypervisor, graphics pipelines, cybersecurity, AI/edge compute

Why Join Oi

  • Work on platform technology, not just application layers
  • Help shape products from architecture to production
  • Join a small elite team doing Tier-1 caliber work with startup velocity
  • Build technology that can redefine software-defined vehicles
