Skills
About the Role
You will define and implement runtime architecture for hardware initialization, execution, scheduling, synchronization, memory movement, and resource management. You will build low-level components, analyze bottlenecks across the hardware and software stack, and improve latency, throughput, scalability, and reliability through hands-on design, coding, bring-up, and debugging.
Requirements
- Expert C or C++ engineering experience designing performance-critical systems
- Experience working close to hardware in low-level, embedded, bare-metal, or accelerator environments
- Knowledge of command execution, scheduling, synchronization, memory movement, resource management, and parallelism
- Experience debugging and optimizing systems at the hardware and software boundary
- Technical leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and mentoring experience
- Eligibility to access U.S. export-controlled technology
Responsibilities
- Define runtime architecture for execution, scheduling, synchronization, and resource management
- Build low-level runtime components that initialize hardware IP and dispatch work
- Design runtime interfaces and data-movement paths
- Coordinate dependencies and manage resources efficiently
- Analyze hardware and software bottlenecks and improve latency, throughput, scalability, and reliability
- Translate workload needs into runtime improvements
- Perform design, coding, performance analysis, bring-up, and debugging
