Role Description Collaborate directly with customers (e.g., automotive OEMs, Tier-1s, embedded product teams) to understand their system architecture and audio use cases, analyze hardware and software requirements, propose and help implement QNX audio solutions that fit their system design. - Integrate silicon provider audio drivers into the QNX audio framework, aligning vendor-supplied hardware drivers with the QNX Sound Architecture. - Design and implement new features inside the QNX audio framework, including security policy-driven audio features to meet automotive safety requirements. - Manage audio concurrency to meet UX requirements. - Design, integrate, and optimize audio processing algorithms and audio latency performance within the QNX Sound Architecture. - Ensure compatibility with UI frameworks like Qt, Android components (e.g., Audio HAL), and 3rd-party audio stacks or middleware. - Work with various internal groups such as Bluetooth, BSP, Multimedia, and Acoustics to enhance, extend, and evolve the QNX audio framework for broader functionality and better performance. - Telecommuting permissible from any location within the US. Qualifications - Bachelor’s degree or foreign degree equivalent in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field. - Seven (7) years of experience in a related role or job offered. Requirements - Design and implement scalable audio features within the QNX Sound Architecture, including low-level system integration and feature expansion. - Align vendor-supplied hardware drivers with embedded sound architectures across diverse platforms and chipsets. - Implement safety-compliant audio features and manage concurrent audio streams to meet automotive-grade UX and regulatory requirements. - Tune audio processing pipelines and minimize latency across heterogeneous hardware environments. - Ensure seamless integration with Qt, Android Audio HAL, and third-party audio stacks for UI and system interoperability. - Develop audio features governed by security policies, aligned with automotive safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262). - Use C and C++ to implement stateful, scalable audio components within QNX, including memory-safe and performance-critical code. - Utilize JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and profilers to diagnose and optimize embedded audio systems. - Use GDB to triage, reproduce, and resolve complex audio-related software issues in real-time environments. - Work directly with OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers, and embedded product teams to analyze system designs and deliver tailored QNX audio solutions. Benefits - The BlackBerry Employee Benefits programs offer a wide range of benefits that support your physical, financial, and personal well-being. - Coverage for medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. - Retirement and employee share purchase program. - Paid time off for those that meet the eligibility requirements.
