Job description

The R&D Center of a global leading ICT company, based in Amsterdam.

We are looking for a senior architect to drive the design and development of advanced OS-level system performance technologies and Hardware-software-chip co-optimization for next-generation computing devices.

The role focuses on system scheduling and performance optimization across CPU, GPU, memory, operating system, and chipset layers, balancing performance, power consumption, and thermal constraints. You will work across operating system, Hardware, chipset, runtime, and application layers, driving technologies from architecture and research through implementation and deployment on end devices.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop Hardware-software-chip co-optimization and integrated system scheduling technologies, including CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling, priority management, task grouping, core selection, frequency scaling, resource allocation, and performance/power/thermal-aware scheduling.
• Research and optimize application performance at the OS level, improving application interaction, responsiveness, animation smoothness, and overall system performance.
• Design and optimize high-performance core system modules and resolve critical system performance bottlenecks.
• Research and develop high-performance APIs, runtimes, application frameworks, and performance-oriented system technologies.
• Track advanced industry technologies and academic research and contribute to future technical roadmaps for system performance, scheduling, and Hardware-software co-optimization.
• Drive technical solutions from architecture and research through implementation, validation, and deployment on end devices.
