About this role

Software Engineer for the DPU Platform, responsible for developing and integrating system software components spanning processor firmware, boot-loaders, kernel drivers/modules, and user-space libraries. You will work with hardware and product teams to address performance, scalability, and resource utilization challenges.

Key Responsibilities

Develop system software components (processor firmware, boot-loaders, kernel drivers/modules, user space applications and libraries)
Collaborate with hardware and product design teams on SOC platform software
Support global teams with DPU projects
Address complex system-level optimization and resource utilization challenges
Engage across the product development lifecycle with a focus on requirements, quality, and performance

Technical Overview

This role is focused on embedded platform software engineering for sophisticated SoC designs, with heavy interaction across Linux kernel and device drivers plus user-space performance. The environment includes modern build tooling (gcc, git, github, make, bitbake, shell scripts, gerrit, jenkins) and optional familiarity with ARMv8, ATF, UEFI, secure boot, and trusted computing environments.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a software engineer with 2+ years building embedded systems software using C and Python, with strong familiarity across the system software stack including Linux kernel, platform firmware, and device drivers. They are comfortable with processor architecture concepts such as CPU and cache coherency and have hands-on experience using build tools like gcc, git, github, make, bitbake, shell scripts, gerrit, and jenkins.
