I / O Devices, IPC Software Architect

Job Title : I / O Devices, IPC Software Architect

We are seeking a Principal Engineer in I / O Device Drivers and System Software with 12–15 years of hands-on experience in developing, debugging, and optimizing low-level drivers, high-performance inter-processor communication (IPC) frameworks, and storage / networking subsystems. This role requires deep knowledge of Linux kernel internals, IPC mechanisms, PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, SR-IOV virtualization, and storage interfaces, with strong expertise in automotive-grade and edge system software. The ideal candidate will provide technical leadership, work closely with cross-functional teams including silicon and hardware architects, and mentor junior engineers while driving end-to-end system solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Architect, design, and implement Linux kernel drivers and BSP components for I / O subsystems including PCIe, Ethernet, CAN, USB, and storage (NVMe, SAS / SATA, eMMC, UFS).
• Design, implement, and optimize high-throughput, low-latency IPC mechanisms (shared memory, mailbox, RPMsg, virtio, sockets) across heterogeneous compute subsystems (CPU, DSP, accelerators).
• Enable SR-IOV, virtualization, and multi-function device drivers for scalable and secure I / O virtualization.
• Architect cross-processor communication frameworks for real-time and safety-critical automotive / edge applications.
• Design and optimize I / O and storage drivers for deterministic performance, QoS, and real-time guarantees.
• Perform Linux kernel debugging (crash dumps, ftrace, perf, kgdb, stack traces) to resolve complex issues spanning firmware, kernel, and hardware.
• Drive silicon bring-up, IPC framework validation, and driver–firmware integration for I / O and compute subsystems.
• Work across silicon design, hardware, architecture, and system software teams to define IPC / I / O requirements, architect solutions, and ensure timely deliverables.
• Collaborate with automotive system architects, hardware, and silicon teams to ensure compliance with functional safety and reliability requirements.
• Mentor and guide junior engineers, conduct design / code reviews, and lead critical debug and system integration task forces.
• Contribute to Linux kernel community discussions and open-source integration in IPC, networking, storage, or PCIe domains.
