You will also prototype and research new technologies that can shape future hardware and software features.

Responsibilities

• Work across the system software stack (firmware/kernel through application layers) to create new experiences leveraging hardware in new ways.
• Define software needs for future hardware by modeling and projecting memory demand over a new SoC’s lifetime.
• Lead investigative, research-like projects to explore and prototype solutions for complex, open-ended problems.
• Diagnose and address functional and performance issues across language, runtime, kernel, application layers, and system daemons.
• Implement new software components, frameworks, and applications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.

Requirements

• 8+ years of industry experience.
• Deep technical understanding and hands-on experience with software development and lifecycle management.
• Experience with low-level OS systems (kernel, Darwin, or drivers).
• Deep experience with power and performance measurement and investigation techniques.
• Solid computer science fundamentals.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for collaboration.
