System Software Architect

Responsibilities and Opportunities

• Design and document low-level software architecture, including firmware, device drivers (user- and kernel-mode), and hardware–software interfaces
• Define APIs between firmware, drivers, and user-space libraries to ensure cohesive system integration
• Collaborate with hardware teams on HW–SW co-design to maximize performance and efficiency
• Lead strategies for achieving low-latency, high-throughput data paths across DMA, memory management, and interrupt systems
• Provide technical leadership and architectural oversight to driver and firmware development teams
• Develop long-term software roadmaps aligned with evolving hardware and AI frameworks
• Drive research and innovation in next-generation system software and accelerator technologies

Key Qualifications

• Ph.D. or equivalent experience in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field
• 6 – 15 years of related experience in system-level software development, including architecture or technical leadership roles
• Deep understanding of computer architecture, memory hierarchies, and on-chip interconnects
• Strong programming skills in C/C++ and experience developing Linux kernel drivers (e.g., PCIe, DMA, IOMMU)
• Hands-on experience with embedded systems and firmware in RTOS or bare-metal environments
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate effectively across software and hardware domains

Ideal Qualifications

• Experience architecting AI hardware platforms (GPU, NPU, TPU, etc.)
• Knowledge of AI/ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and their runtime-level interactions
• Familiarity with virtualization technologies (e.g., KVM, SR-IOV) and secure boot processes
• Record of publications or patents in system software or computer architecture
