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 rapid, own the stack, and solve hard problems at the intersection of embedded systems, automotive electronics, and product engineering.

If you want to help design hardware that ships into production vehicles, this is your role.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Hardware Engineer to help architect and develop next-generation automotive compute platforms powering DragonFire OS and future centralized vehicle architectures.

This role is focused on production-quality embedded hardware for automotive and safety-critical applications, from concept through manufacturing launch.

You’ll work on high-performance compute systems based on NXP i.MX and Texas Instruments platforms, helping define the electrical foundations of next-generation software-defined vehicles.

What You’ll Work On

Design automotive-grade embedded hardware platforms and ECUs

Develop production-ready schematics and system architectures using NXP i.MX and Texas Instruments processors

Support high-speed interfaces including Ethernet, PCIe, USB, MIPI, CAN, and display systems

Lead board bring-up, validation, debugging, and hardware integration activities

Collaborate closely with embedded software, systems, mechanical, and HMI teams

Support BSP integration and low-level hardware/software interactions

Develop hardware for multi-OS and safety-critical environments including QNX, Linux, Android, and RTOS platforms

Participate in EMC, thermal, power integrity, signal integrity,



and reliability validation

Contribute to hardware architectures aligned with ISO 26262 and automotive functional safety requirements

Work with manufacturing partners on DFM, DFT, prototype builds, and production readiness

Help define next-generation centralized compute and domain controller platforms

What We’re Looking For

Strong experience designing complex embedded hardware systems

Experience with NXP i.MX, Texas Instruments, or similar automotive SoCs

Deep understanding of automotive electronics development and production processes

Familiarity with functional safety concepts and ISO 26262 development workflows:
Experience with high-speed digital design, power architecture, and board layout reviews

Hands-on lab debugging experience using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, power analyzers, and related tools

Understanding of automotive communication protocols including CAN, Ethernet, LIN, and automotive networking

Experience supporting hardware from prototype through production launch

Comfortable working in fast-moving startup environments with high ownership

Bonus Experience

ASIL development experience

Hypervisor or multi-domain compute architectures

Audio, display, or graphics hardware systems

Automotive cybersecurity architectures

Camera, sensor fusion, or AI edge compute systems

EMC/EMI certification and validation experience

Why Join Oi

Build foundational vehicle technology, not commodity hardware

Help shape products from architecture to production

Join a small elite team doing Tier-1 caliber work with startup velocity

Work directly on software-defined vehicle platforms shipping into real programs

Be part of a company rethinking the future of automotive electronics and intelligent mobility
