What do you do at Rimac?
The team is responsible for developing the operating system which is the base of all units that make up the infotainment. My tasks range from digging around the Linux kernel, integration of various pieces of software into our IVI, solving various architectural challenges, and generally ensuring our IVI Apps team doesn’t need to worry about hardware, and everything “just works” for them. Our work creates the link between the infotainment hardware in the vehicle, and the infotainment applications that enable rich user experience we at Rimac pride ourselves on. Currently, I am working on our Bluetooth handsfree solution which will support Aston Martin Valkyrie, Rimac C_Two, and Automobili Pininfarina projects.
