• Work with kernel-level or near-kernel-level components (e.g., POSIX APIs, threading, memory management, interprocess communication).
• Optimize and debug software for performance, concurrency, and deterministic behavior.
• Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Create and maintain technical documentation for software components.

Who You Are:

You promote high visibility of shared contributions to goals. You quickly and significantly take action in constantly evolving, unexpected situations. You actively seek guidance from pertinent sources to make timely and well-informed decisions. You handle the risk that comes with moving forward when the outcome is not certain.

For This Role, You Will Need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (or equivalent practical experience).
• 2-5 years of experience in software development using C/C++.
• Hands‑on experience with POSIX/Unix/Linux development (user space or system-level).
• Understanding of real‑time programming concepts (RTOS, scheduling, latency constraints).
• Familiarity with multithreading, synchronization primitives, and IPC mechanisms.
• Strong debugging skills using tools such as GDB, Valgrind, perf, or similar.
• Experience with version control systems such as Git.

Preferred Qualifications That Set You Apart

• Experience with Linux kernel modules or real‑time patches (e.g., PREEMPT_RT).
• Knowledge of networking protocols, device drivers, or embedded systems.
• Scripting experience (Python, Bash) for automation or build tooling.
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and build systems (CMake, Make).
• Automotive and/or automation domain know how
• Exposure to agile development or DevOps practices

Benefits

• Competitive benefits plans, including medical insurance options.
