The Team The Device Drivers team builds and maintains the software that configures and interfaces with our sensors, moving data from sensors to the systems that consume it primarily using C++.
What You'll Do - Design and implement software integrating external sensors (PCIe, DMA, Ethernet, CAN) into the system using C++, including debugging and performance tuning at the system level.
- Maintain software releases and testing artifacts.
- Optimize real-time behavior, memory usage, and performance of real-time applications running in multi-threaded, multi-core environments.
- Maintain automated build pipelines, test environments, and test tooling using C++/Python/Bash. Partner with DevOps, QA, Hardware, and Networking teams to troubleshoot issues and ensure system security, stability, and scalability.
- Integrate and maintain third-party and open-source software.
- Contribute to technical design discussions and documentation.
- Provide technical guidance to junior engineers on driver design and debugging approaches.
What You'll Need - Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field, with 3-6+ years of relevant experience.
- Strong C/C++ proficiency and hands-on experience with device drivers/user-space drivers, Linux embedded development, systemd service management, general Linux system administration, and real-time systems (latency analysis via CyclicTest, ftrace).
- Working knowledge of build systems (Make, CMake, Yocto, Buildstream, or Bazel), containers/namespace isolation, and hardware interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART, Automotive Ethernet, CAN, GPIO).
- Comfort with OS fundamentals (system calls, memory/process management, semaphores, mutexes, message queues, shared memory), networking protocols (TCP/IP, SSH, HTTP), and debugging tools (GDB, strace, Valgrind).
- Git-based version control, CI/CD practices, and Agile/Scrum team experience.
- Nice to have: Nvidia DriveOS exposure, ISO 26262/61508 familiarity, and Automotive ASPICE (V-Cycle) knowledge.
