BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Strong background in firmware/embedded development, ideally 5+ years
Hands-on experience with RTOS implementations on ARM, RISC-V, or x86 architectures
Experience in platform bring-up with complex SoCs and interfaces (e.g., PCIe, Ethernet, HBM)
Excellent programming skills in C/C++/Rust
Experience with multi-core optimization in high-bandwidth systems
Passion for learning new architectures and optimizing system performance
Strong communication skills, both written and verbal
Ability to work successfully in a distributed and remote environment
Preferred Qualifications
MS or PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related fields
Familiarity with ML accelerator architectures and dataflow patterns for neural networks
Contributions to open-source firmware projects, particularly in system optimization
Experience implementing security features (secure boot, cryptographic protocols, hardware security modules)
Experience building debug tooling (system monitors, trace analyzers, debug protocol stacks)
