Software Engineer II - Device Drivers

- Design and implement software integrating external sensors (PCIe, DMA, Ethernet, CAN) into the system using C++ , including debugging and performance tuning at the system level.

- Maintain software releases and testing artifacts .

- Optimize real-time behavior, memory usage, and performance of real-time applications running in multi-threaded, multi-core environments.

- Maintain automated build pipelines, test environments, and test tooling using C++/Python/Bash . Partner with DevOps, QA, Hardware, and Networking teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure system security, stability, and scalability.

- Integrate and maintain third-party and open-source software .

- C ontribute to technical design discussions and documentation.

- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers on driver design and debugging approaches.

- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering , Computer Science, or related field, with 3-6+ years of relevant experience.

- Strong C/C++ proficiency and hands-on experience with device drivers/user-space drivers, Linux embedded development, systemd service management, general Linux system administration, and real-time systems (latency analysis via CyclicTest , ftrace ).

- Working knowledge of build systems (Make, CMake , Yocto , Buildstream , or Bazel), containers/namespace isolation, and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Automotive Ethernet, CAN, GPIO).

- Comfort with OS fundamentals (system calls, memory/process management, semaphores, mutexes, message queues, shared memory), networking protocols (TCP/IP, SSH, HTTP), and debugging tools (GDB, strace , Valgrind ).

- Git-based version control, CI/CD practices, and Agile/Scrum team experience.
