## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in engineering related field (i.e. Computer Science or related technical field) and 5+ years of experience or master's degree in the same and 3+ years' experience or PhD and 0+ years' experience or equivalent experience and education.
 * Strong foundation in operating systems, concurrency, memory management, data structures, algorithms, and computer architecture, with proficiency developing embedded software in C/C++.
 * Experience debugging embedded, firmware, or system-level issues using structured root-cause analysis, instrumentation, logs, lab tools, and cross-functional collaboration.
 * Experience contributing to design, implementation, integration, validation support, and release readiness in a hardware-dependent software environment.

You might also have:

 * Experience with embedded operating systems, device drivers, storage systems, real-time software, low-level platform software, firmware interfaces, or hardware bring-up.
 * Experience contributing to modular design, interface definition, test strategy, build systems, CI/CD, static analysis, or software quality tools.
 * Knowledge of HDD devices, storage protocols, system-level performance analysis, reliability considerations, failure modes, or storage subsystem behavior.
 * Experience sharing technical knowledge, supporting debug efforts, collaborating across teams, or improving local engineering practices.

## Description

* Design, implement, and integrate embedded software changes in C/C++ that improve reliability, performance, manufacturability, and product readiness for assigned storage platform features or components.
 * Apply strong computer science fundamentals, modular design, clear interfaces, and testable implementation practices to deliver maintainable software across products and releases.
 * Investigate and resolve product development issues involving embedded software, hardware interactions, firmware interfaces, operating environments, and storage system behavior.
 * Support technical closure of defects and integration issues from reproduction and root cause analysis through corrective action, validation support, risk awareness, and stakeholder communication.
 * Contribute to design reviews, code reviews, debug strategy, and defect prevention practices to improve software quality and team execution.
 * Share domain knowledge, provide informal guidance to less experienced engineers, and collaborate with cross-functional partners to reach practical, high-quality technical decisions.

About you:

 * You build reliable, embedded software that is understandable, testable, extensible, and maintainable over multiple product releases.
 * You understand how software interacts with hardware, operating systems, storage architecture, and product behavior, and you use that understanding to make sound engineering tradeoffs.
 * You are comfortable working through technical ambiguity, breaking down problems, and communicating clear analysis, options, and execution plans.
 * You take ownership of assigned work, recognize related product and quality risks, and look for practical ways to improve software practices, tools, and team effectiveness.
