## About the Role

* Strong foundation in operating systems, concurrency, memory management, data structures, algorithms, and computer architecture, with proficiency developing production-quality software in C/C++ and working knowledge of Python, Rust, or similar languages.
 * Practical experience with embedded systems, resource-constrained design, hardware/software interaction, debugging tools, root-cause analysis, modern development practices, and cross-functional resolution of software, firmware, or system-level issues.
 * Master's degree in Computer Science or related technical field.

You might also have:

 * Experience with embedded operating systems, device drivers, storage systems, real-time software, low-level platform software, or firmware interfaces.
 * Experience contributing to modular architecture, interface contracts, testable design, build systems, CI/CD, static analysis, or software quality tools.
 * Knowledge of HDD devices, storage protocols, system-level performance analysis, reliability considerations, or storage subsystem topologies.
 * Experience supporting integration, validation, failure analysis, or product bring-up in a hardware-dependent software environment.

## Description

* Design, implement, and maintain targeted embedded software changes in C/C++ to correct defects, improve reliability and performance, and support product stabilization.
 * Apply computer science fundamentals, modular design, clear interfaces, and testable implementation practices to ensure fixes are maintainable, reusable, and aligned with long-term product ownership.
 * Investigate, debug, and resolve product development defects across embedded software, hardware interactions, firmware interfaces, and storage product behavior.
 * Drive defect closure from issue reproduction and technical analysis through root cause, corrective action, validation support, and clear communication of status, risk, and tradeoffs.
 * Contribute to design reviews, code reviews, defect prevention practices, and engineering quality improvements that reduce recurrence and improve product development execution.

About you:

 * You build reliable embedded systems with software that is understandable, testable, extensible, and sustainable.
 * You understand how software interacts with hardware, operating systems, storage architecture, and product behavior, and you use that understanding to make practical engineering decisions.
 * You break down complex or ambiguous technical problems, reason from first principles, and communicate tradeoffs clearly to peers and cross-functional partners.
 * You take ownership of your work, follow through on defects and integration issues, and look for ways to improve software quality and engineering practices.
