- At least 12+ years of extensive industry experience crafting system software, embedded firmware, device drivers, or other hardware-related production software.
- Strong programming skills in C, including experience developing, debugging, and maintaining complex low-level software.
- Deep understanding of operating-system fundamentals, device-driver architecture, embedded or real-time software, concurrency, interrupt handling, and hardware programming.
- Experience interpreting hardware specifications and developing software interfaces for registers, telemetry, interrupts, and control mechanisms.
- Strong understanding of computer architecture and hardware-software interactions.
- Proven ability to independently debug complex problems across multiple software and hardware layers.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a track record of working effectively across organizational and geographic boundaries.
Ways to Stand Out From the Crowd
- Hands-on experience with GPU, CPU, accelerator, or SoC power and performance management.
- Background with crafting or implementing P-state selection, DVFS, clock-control, voltage-control, power-capping, thermal-management, throttling, or workload-aware control policies.
- Experience developing real-time feedback controllers, including reasoning about stability, responsiveness, hysteresis, latency, and noisy telemetry.
- Understanding of electrical and platform considerations such as voltage-frequency relationships, transient power, thermal limits, power delivery, and system-level power budgets.
