System Software Architect

You will design and document low-level software architecture spanning firmware, device drivers, and hardware-software interfaces. You will define integration APIs, collaborate on hardware-software co-design, improve data-path performance, provide technical oversight, develop software roadmaps, and advance system software research.

Responsibilities

• Design and document low-level software architecture for firmware, device drivers, and hardware-software interfaces
• Define APIs between firmware, drivers, and user-space libraries
• Collaborate on hardware-software co-design
• Lead low-latency, high-throughput data-path strategies across DMA, memory management, and interrupts
• Provide technical leadership and architectural oversight to driver and firmware development
• Develop long-term software roadmaps
• Drive research and innovation in system software and accelerator technologies

Requirements

• Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 6–15 years of system-level software development experience, including architecture or technical leadership roles
• Computer architecture, memory hierarchy, and on-chip interconnect knowledge
• C/C++ programming
• Linux kernel driver development, including PCIe, DMA, and IOMMU
• Embedded systems and firmware development in RTOS or bare-metal environments
• Communication and cross-domain collaboration skills
• AI hardware platform architecture experience
• AI/ML framework and runtime interaction knowledge
• Virtualization technology and secure boot familiarity
• Publications or patents in system software or computer architecture
