Safety-certified RTOS, hypervisors and middleware for embedded systems
QNX supplies real-time operating systems, hypervisors and development tools for safety-critical embedded devices, with a stack anchored in C++, Rust, CMake and Bazel plus Qualcomm and NXP silicon. ONNX Runtime, PyTorch and ExecuTorch alongside ROS 2 point to on-device AI and robotics workloads. Senior-heavy hiring, security roles, and projects around fuzzing and exploit validation show offensive security testing becoming core to the product.
QNX builds operating systems, hypervisors, middleware and development tools for embedded systems that must run safely and predictably. Its software serves automotive, medical devices, industrial controls, robotics, commercial vehicles, rail, and aerospace and defense. The company is publicly traded, headquartered in Ottawa, Ontario, founded in 1980, and employs 201–500 people. It hires across Canada, the United States, China and Japan, and pairs its products with support and engineering services.
QNX works in C++, Rust, Python and Embedded C, builds with CMake, Bazel, Meson and Cargo, uses SOME/IP, MQTT and ROS 2, and targets Qualcomm and NXP hardware. Requirements are tracked in Jama Connect and IBM DOORS.
Yes. Engineering is QNX's largest hiring area, skewed toward senior and principal roles, with additional openings in security, marketing, product and sales across Canada, the US, China and Japan.
QNX is running fuzzing campaigns, building exploit validation pipelines and security testing frameworks, developing board support packages for a Tier 1 automotive customer, and assembling integrated solution stacks.
