Job description

A Staff Engineer in Global Automation (GAT) and Software team is responsible for the development and enhancement of sophisticated automation solutions and software tools and frameworks for storage technologies, maintenance of existing software stacks. We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer with strong expertise in low‑level software stack development for memory and storage products. The ideal candidate will have hands‑on experience building and debugging software that interfaces with OS drivers and SSD/UFS devices across Linux, Windows, automotive, and embedded platforms. This role requires strong problem‑solving skills, ownership, and the ability to work closely with cross‑functional teams to deliver high‑quality software for storage solutions.

Key Responsibilities

Design and Development

• Develop and enhance low‑level software components interacting with OS drivers, storage protocols, and SSD/UFS devices.
• Build robust, scalable system‑level modules for Linux, Windows, automotive, and embedded environments.
• Contribute to driver‑level or firmware‑adjacent feature development as required.

Debugging & Analysis

• Perform deep debugging using C/C++, Python, and system‑level tools (kernel logs, traces, crash dumps, protocol analyzers).
• Diagnose issues across the full I/O stack: OS → driver → controller → NAND/UFS media.
• Collaborate with FW, HW, validation, and platform teams for quick triage and root cause analysis.

End‑to‑End Ownership

• Lead requirement collection, technical planning, architectural discussions, and design reviews.
• Drive implementation, integration, testing, and delivery of software components.
• Ensure high‑quality releases aligned with program milestones.

Stakeholder & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with platform, firmware, QA, hardware, and product engineering teams.
• Communicate technical status, risks, and design decisions with stakeholders effectively.
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to technical excellence initiatives.

Qualifications

• Strong proficiency in C and C++ for system‑level software development.
• Hands‑on experience with Python/Pybind for interfacing, tooling.
• Deep understanding of OS internals, storage stack, kernel‑mode interactions, and driver workflows.
• Solid knowledge of NVMe, UFS/SCSI protocols, and platform interfaces.
• Experience on Linux, Windows, and embedded/automotive platforms.
• Strong analytical thinking, debugging capability, and ability to work on complex system‑level issues.
• Good‑to‑Have: Familiarity with PCIe/NVMe, NAND flash fundamentals, UFS, or storage diagnostics.
• Exposure to performance profiling, static analysis, memory tools, and CI/CD environments.

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s/Master's Degree in Electrical and/or Computer Engineering.
• 8+ years of experience in the full stack application development, preferably in Storage area on Windows & Linux OS.
