Job Overview
We are seeking a highly skilled Senior Linux Kernel Engineer to join the Systems Software team, focusing on next-generation AI and data center platforms. This role involves deep kernel development, memory management innovation, and close collaboration with hardware teams to enable high-performance SoC and storage solutions.
Key Responsibilities
  • Design and optimize Linux kernel memory management (paging, allocation, HugePages, page cache, LRU).
  • Develop and maintain Linux device drivers for high-speed interfaces such as PCIe (Gen5/6), NVMe, and accelerator hardware.
  • Work on heterogeneous memory systems, including UVM, memory tiering, and CXL-based memory expansion.
  • Enable and optimize virtualization environments using KVM and QEMU (IOMMU, interrupt handling, memory virtualization).
  • Collaborate with hardware teams on SoC bring-up, register definitions, and memory architecture (ARMv9 / RISC-V).
  • Perform low-level debugging and performance tuning using kernel tracing tools, hardware debuggers (TRACE32), and emulation platforms.
  • Contribute to system-level architecture and resolve complex performance and memory-related issues.
Required Skills & Qualifications
  • Strong expertise in Linux Kernel Development, especially Memory Management (MM subsystem).
  • Hands-on experience with device driver development (PCIe, NVMe, or similar high-speed interfaces).
  • Deep understanding of low-level programming in C/C++ (Assembly is a strong plus).
  • Solid knowledge of hardware-software interaction, including DMA, cache coherency, and memory subsystems.
  • Experience with virtualization technologies (KVM, QEMU, IOMMU).
  • Strong debugging skills in complex, low-level environments.
Preferred Skills
  • Experience with CXL (Compute Express Link) or next-gen memory architectures.
  • Exposure to Python, gRPC, or REST APIs for tooling, automation, or integration.
  • Familiarity with ARM or RISC-V architectures.
  • Contributions to mainline Linux kernel or open-source projects.
  • Knowledge of AI/ML or data center workloads at the system level.
Education
  • MS/BS in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related field.
