Kernel Senior Engineer- embedded software design is a must

Location: Milpitas (Hybrid)

This is a challenging position in BSP/System Software Engineering group. The engineer is responsible for design and development of software at kernel level, platform driver design and porting to new hardware platforms. In addition, during board bring-up phase this position requires tight interaction with Hardware team to understand design, validate hardware functionality and help to isolate hardware problems if any.
This position requires detailed understanding overall system functionality to design hardware abstraction layer to provide transparency and interoperability for the Firmware running on multiple platforms.
High level architectural direction will be provided but the engineer must be able to work well independently, have initiative to identify and solve design problems proactively.
