Senior Embedded Software Engineer in Brighton

The opportunity to make Unity run everywhere! The Embedded OS Platforms team is focused on delivering stunning interactive experiences across various platforms, including in-car infotainment systems and digital cockpits. We are looking for a senior software engineer to join our growing team, which builds and supports Unity versions that run on Embedded platforms such as Embedded Linux, QNX, and Android Automotive OS.

In your first 3-6 months, you will ramp up on one of our embedded platforms, ship your first integrations and bug fixes, and become a trusted contributor in customer-facing investigations. Within 12 months, you will own a meaningful area of a platform (e.g. AAOS integration) and act as a technical point of contact for one of our customers.

You will be part of a small, senior team with a strong impact. The code you write ships in production vehicles, directly unblocking Unity's embedded and automotive business. You will help define the technical bar across the team and shape how Unity supports the next generation of software-defined vehicles.

What you'll be doing:

• Bringing Unity's Real Time 3D runtime to embedded platforms, developing new features and integrations for industries like the automotive HMI market.
• Building the graphics and windowing layer that powers multi-screen, multi-touch digital cockpits and HMIs.
• Profiling and optimising runtime performance, memory, startup/load time, and iteration speed of Unity for resource-constrained embedded SoCs across platforms.
• Partnering directly with customers like automotive OEMs as a technical point of contact, investigating issues, removing performance bottlenecks, and ensuring production success.
• Raising the engineering bar through design discussions, code reviews, and automated testing.

What we're looking for:

• Proficiency in C/C++/C# and building scalable feature sets in a large multithreaded codebase.
• Experience developing for Embedded Linux, QNX, and hypervised environments.
• Experience developing against Vulkan and OpenGL ES applied to Real Time 3D and UI rendering.
• Profiling and optimisation on resource-constrained hardware using CPU/GPU/IO tooling.
• Working directly with customers on technical issues, with business-level English.
• Becoming an established senior engineer who guides the team on large cross-platform initiatives.

You might also have:

• Experience working with or developing Real Time 3D game engines (Unity, Unreal, Godot).
• Hands-on game development experience.
• Experience developing for embedded and automotive SoC (Qualcomm SA8295/SA8775P, NXP i.MX8/i.MX95, NVIDIA Jetson/DRIVE Orin).
• Experience working on automotive HMI (cluster, infotainment, ADAS, map navigation).
• Hands-on AAOS or AOSP development experience on the platform layer.
