From Ottawa’s QNX Garage, we sit down with Karen Xiong (Vector) and Andy Gryc (QNX) to talk about the talent behind software-defined vehicles. We cover career paths into automotive software, what companies actually look for in engineers today (CI/CD, systems thinking, reliability), and why “vibe coding” isn’t replacing safety-critical development anytime soon. Plus: practical tools and skills students can start learning now—from QNX Everywhere to ROS and in-vehicle Ethernet.
