About Sojan James

Over 25 years, I\'ve led software teams building production automotive platforms—from Linux-based Infotainment systems deployed across multiple OEM product lines to hypervisor architectures combining QNX, Android, and Linux in safety-critical environments.I\'m a true full-stack system engineer. I bridge hardware and software domains—equally proficient in circuit-level debugging and board bring-up as in designing complex software architectures. This hardware/software fluency means I can bridge the gap between silicon and software, diagnose integration issues across the entire stack, and design solutions that optimize both domains. My Amateur Radio practice and electronics hobby keeps these skills sharp.I specialize in complex embedded platforms where hardware and software must work in perfect harmony- Automotive Digital Cockpits: Hypervisor-based systems integrating multiple operating systems (QNX, Android, Linux) with Yocto-based Linux platform development—deployed in production vehiclesEV Infrastructure: ISO15118-compliant charge management systems with high performance and low-overhead Web services and EV charger hardware and softwareSafety-Critical Systems: TÜV Rheinland certified Functional Safety Engineer (ISO26262)I\'ve taken products from initial requirements through production delivery and field maintenance, working directly with OEM engineering teams on production programs. I\'ve built an automotive platform that powers multiple production programs for multiple OEMs.I build high-performing engineering organizations by combining technical depth with pragmatic leadership. I create integration strategies, establish CI/CD pipelines, and implement Software Product Lines methodologies that scale across both code and teams.I\'m a Rust advocate—I believe modern system languages and tooling should replace legacy approaches where appropriate. I contribute to open source and embrace LLMs as force multipliers for engineering productivity.Core Expertise:Systems Software: Linux, Yocto Project, QNX, FreeRTOS | Languages: Rust, C++, C | Automotive: ISO26262, V2G, communication protocols | Hardware: Circuit design, BSP development, board bring-up | Architecture: ARM, embedded systems | Modern Tooling: CI/CD, automated testing, containerizationGitHub: https://github.com/sjames | https://github.com/sabaton-systemsSee my featured section for talks, articles, and project deep-dives.
