Job description

• Be responsible for the design and development of hardware-software-chip co-optimization and integrated scheduling for HarmonyOS, building industry-leading system performance competitiveness. Key technical areas include CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling (such as priority management, task grouping, and core selection), frequency scaling mechanisms, kernel-chip hardware/software co-optimization mechanisms, and scheduling mechanisms that balance performance, power consumption, and thermal constraints. Drive the designed solutions through implementation on end devices to improve product performance and user experience.
• Research and optimize application performance at the OS level, build key technical competitiveness for HarmonyOS applications, and improve application interaction and animation experience. Design and optimize high-performance core modules and resolve critical performance issues.
• Research and analyze application technologies used in leading operating systems, including but not limited to high-performance APIs and application development paradigms. Build high-performance application development frameworks for HarmonyOS, enabling simpler development and smoother user experiences.
• Research and investigate advanced industry technologies and the latest academic developments, and plan the technology roadmap and evolution of hardware-software-chip co-optimization and integrated scheduling for HarmonyOS.

Requirements:

• Hands-on experience in operating system performance optimization, system scheduling, kernel development, or hardware-software-chip co-optimization. Experience with CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling, priority management, task grouping, core selection strategies, frequency scaling mechanisms, or performance/power/thermal-aware scheduling is preferred.
• Deep understanding of OS-level application performance optimization, with the ability to identify and resolve critical performance bottlenecks in core system modules and improve application interaction efficiency, animation smoothness, and overall user experience.
• Familiarity with technologies related to high-performance application development, including but not limited to high-performance APIs, application development paradigms, runtime optimization, and performance-oriented framework design.
• Ability to track and analyze advanced industry technologies and the latest academic research, and translate relevant developments into technical roadmaps and evolution directions for HarmonyOS hardware-software-chip co-optimization and integrated scheduling.
• Strong problem-solving and engineering execution capabilities, with the ability to drive technical solutions from design through deployment on end devices and deliver measurable improvements in product performance and user experience.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in English, with the ability to collaborate effectively with research, engineering, product, and cross-regional teams.
• The position is based in Amsterdam. Candidates should be currently based in Amsterdam or willing to relocate to Amsterdam.
