Project Description:

The objective of this project is to design and develop a comprehensive In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system for automobiles, focusing on UI/UX design, IVI system architecture, and software development. The goal is to enhance the in-car user experience, provide seamless connectivity, and deliver a feature-rich entertainment and information platform. Development and integration of components for vehicle's 360 VR video monitoring as part of the comprehensive OEM In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system.

Key Components:

360 VR monitoring system — a central component that collects video frames from all vehicle's external cameras and composes into a final 360 VR video stream for displaying on a vehicle's display.

Upon request from HMI the 360 VR monitoring system changes viewing angles, rotation, zooming, etc.

Integration with Vehicle Systems

The third-party 360 VR monitoring system must be integrated into a vehicle's system which requires a strong collaboration with automotive engineers from different domains to ensure seamless integration.

Integration includes rendering of video stream on a display utilizing Qualcomm graphics HW and QNX resources and

implementation of a communication between HMI and 360 VR monitoring system.

Maintenance and improvements

The third-party 360 VR system requires a further feature development and improvements to fit customer's requirements to deliver new experiences.

Skills required:

• Excellent knowledge and practical experience in:

o 2D graphics rendering (blitting, h/w acceleration, compositing, alpha blending, etc.)

o image processing (pixel formats, color spaces, brightness, saturation, gamma, etc.)

o development for *nix systems (QNX in particular).

o C++14 and above

• Experience in image acquisition from cameras.

• Experience in engineering RPCs between systems (channels, messaging, etc.).

• Experience in programming graphics hardware (DMA, shaders, pipelines, v-sync, etc.)

• Familiarity with device programming in nix systems.

• Familiarity with ProtoBuf.

• Familiarity with OpenGL ES.

• Familiarity with OpenWF Display API.

Nice To Have:

Software Architecture, AUTOSAR, Digital Cockpit

• Embedded systems programming with Java.

• Understanding of vehicle integration and CAN-based communication

Responsibilities:

• Taking ownership of sources for a third-party 360 VR video monitoring component.

• Integration of 360 VR video monitoring component into the vehicle's system and infrastructure.

• Developing new and improving existing video monitoring/rendering features.

• Developing new and improving existing features for the vehicle's camera control system (image control and acquisition).

• Implementation of a communication between HMI and 360 VR monitoring system.

• Integration of the component into customer's CI/CD workflows.

• Requirements analysis.

• Authoring and maintaining documentation for component's maintainers and integrators.

• Testing on a hardware customer's prototypes.
