Job description

Job Summary

The Senior Edge Computing Engineer is a hands‑on developer role responsible for the core performance of our fielded systems. You will own critical subsystems, utilizing advanced GPGPU techniques to process high‑velocity data streams in real time. You will work with minimal supervision to architect and implement solutions that run on diverse hardware targets, from multi‑GPU rackmount servers to power‑constrained embedded modules.

Responsibilities

• High-Performance Computing: Design and implement high-throughput processing pipelines using Modern C++ and GPU-accelerated frameworks (e.g., CUDA, Holoscan, ROCm).
• Kernel Optimization: Write and optimize custom GPU kernels for signal processing operations, managing memory coalescing and host-to-device data transfers to minimize latency.
• System Profiling: Profile full-stack software performance to identify CPU/GPU bottlenecks, optimizing memory usage and PCIe bandwidth utilization.
• Hardware Abstraction: Design software interfaces that abstract specific hardware peripherals, ensuring our GPU-based algorithms can run on a variety of radio and sensor platforms.
• Edge Infrastructure: Manage the build and deployment pipelines for embedded Linux operating systems, ensuring fielded systems correctly expose accelerator resources to containerized applications.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science or Engineering from an accredited college/university.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a DoD clearance; active clearance preferred.
• Proven ability to lead engineering teams in a structured software product development environment.
• Strong organizational and technical communication skills, including presenting to internal and government stakeholders.
• Four (4) to seven (7) years of software engineering design experience.
• Proven experience leading software engineering teams through the full development lifecycle.

Preferences

• Current DoD Top Secret SCI Security Clearance.
• Master’s Degree in Computer Science or Engineering from an accredited college/university.
• Background in Digital Signal Processing (DSP) or RF systems.
• Experience with kernel-bypass networking (DPDK, RDMA) or GPUDirect technologies.

Skills

• Languages: Expert proficiency in Modern C++. Willingness to work with or learn Rust for safety‑critical components.
• GPU Frameworks: Proven experience with CUDA or similar parallel computing standards. Ability to reason about heterogeneous memory architectures (Unified Memory, Zero‑Copy).
• Infrastructure: Solid experience with Linux system administration, container orchestration (Kubernetes/Docker), and networking configuration.
• Architecture: Experience designing decoupled, modular software components using standard protocols (e.g., gRPC, Protobuf).
