- Collaborate with runtime, compiler, application, validation, customer, and external partner teams to translate workload and platform requirements into software capabilities.
- Provide technical leadership, establish engineering practices, mentor engineers, and guide cross-functional delivery.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
- 10+ years of hands-on experience developing maintainable, production-grade systems software in C/C++, with Python experience for tooling, automation, and validation.
- 5+ years of experience developing and shipping production device drivers, device firmware, or comparable low-level systems software for accelerators, GPUs, or complex hardware devices.
- 5+ years of experience leading driver or firmware subsystem architecture and design, including technical direction and implementation guidance.
- 5+ years of experience defining hardware/software interfaces and leading bring-up from pre-silicon platforms through post-silicon validation and tuning.
- 5+ years of experience designing production-ready driver or firmware systems covering security, reliability, recovery, tracing, telemetry, and diagnostics.
- 5+ years of experience mentoring engineers and leading delivery across hardware, firmware, systems software, and validation teams.
- 1+ years of hands-on experience using agentic software engineering with AI agents to design, implement, test, and review production code.
- Preferred experience includes Linux device drivers, embedded or real-time Linux, RTOS firmware, accelerator runtimes and programming models, platform security, multi-chip accelerators, unconventional AI hardware, hardware/software co-design, performance modeling, robotics software ecosystems such as ROS 2, and open-source contributions.
Benefits
