• Implement new feature sets and enhance existing functionality on the platform.
• Support Linux device development and subsystems.
• Contribute to system architecture discussions, especially for Qt-based components when applicable.
• Write, run, and maintain unit tests to identify and resolve bugs.
• Interface software with vehicle communication protocols (e.g., CAN, LIN) and networking layers.
• Focus on high-quality code — with daily time spent 60–80% on software development.
• Work on performance optimization related to clock cycles, data latency, and bus communication.
