- Build scalable tooling, APIs, and cloud integration frameworks to facilitate hardware testing and data analysis.
- Lead technical design reviews to evaluate system architecture, communication protocols, and simulation fidelity.
- Debug and optimize low-level system performance issues involving latency, jitter, and synchronization across hardware components.
- Mentor junior engineers through code reviews, architectural guidance, and knowledge sharing.
Requirements
- Five (5) years of professional software development experience building complex, low-latency systems or high-scale infrastructure products.
- Expert-level proficiency in Modern C++ (C++14, C++17, C++20).
- Deep understanding of memory management, multi-threading, and performance optimization.
- Strong experience with Python or Golang for building automation pipelines, CLI tools, or data processing services.
- Proven track record of developing software that interacts with physical devices, hardware peripherals, or complex networking protocols.
- Expert knowledge of the Linux environment, including kernel-space and user-space communication, drivers, and system-level troubleshooting.
- Experience managing cloud infrastructure and observability tools, with familiarity in cloud services such as AWS or GCP.
- Experience with systems integration involving physical devices, hardware peripherals, or complex networking protocols.
