  • A strong foundation in software development at the hardware level
  • A passion for ensuring optimal performance from silicon
  • Significant programming ability in C
  • A solid background in device drivers, BSP's, and other aspects of hardware-level system engineering
  • An understanding of operating system kernel fundamentals
  • Ability to communicate effectively in English, both written and verbal
Desirable Skills

The following skills are desirable but not required:

  • Python and Bash scripting ability
  • Prior background with the major SoC families
  • Ubuntu/Debian/Snap packaging
  • Demonstrated experience with Linux kernel patching and debugging
  • Solid understanding of performance optimisation for silicon platforms
Benefits
  • We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide.
