Role Overview: We are looking for a highly motivated engineer with strong system software fundamentals and hands-on experience in Linux device driver development. The ideal candidate should have solid programming skills in C/C++, a strong understanding of Linux kernel internals, and practical experience debugging complex kernel-level or low-level software issues. You should be comfortable working on Linux kernel modules, device-driver interfaces, memory management, synchronization, interrupt handling, and kernel debugging. Experience in RAID software, storage technologies, firmware, UEFI, or device-driver interaction with hardware is a strong plus.

The candidate should be technically strong, detail-oriented, capable of independent problem solving, and able to collaborate effectively with firmware, hardware, validation, platform, and customer-facing teams.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design, develop, debug, and maintain Linux device drivers and kernel-level software. - Work on Linux kernel modules, driver interfaces, memory management, synchronization, interrupt handling, and platform enablement. - Debug and resolve complex issues across Linux kernel drivers, system software, firmware interfaces, and hardware interaction layers. - Contribute to low-level software development using C/C++ in Linux and system software environments. - Support integration, validation, debugging, release, and customer issue resolution for platform software components. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams including firmware, hardware, validation, platform engineering, and customer-facing teams. - Analyze issues, drive root-cause investigation, implement fixes, and support high-quality product delivery. - Work with global teams, vendors, and customers to debug platform-level and driver-level issues. - Contribute to Software RAID, storage, and UEFI-related development activities as needed. - Support development and maintenance of RAID/storage configuration or management components where applicable.

Mandatory Experience / Required Skills:





- Strong hands-on experience in Linux device driver development. - Strong programming skills in C/C++ for system software or low-level software development. - Positive understanding of Linux kernel architecture, kernel modules, device-driver model, memory management, synchronization, interrupt handling, and kernel debugging. - Experience debugging kernel-level issues using Linux debugging tools, logs, traces, crash dumps, or equivalent debugging techniques. - Good understanding of operating systems, data structures, computer architecture, and low-level software concepts. - Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills. - Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and collaborate effectively across geographically distributed teams. - Experience using source control and team-oriented development tools such as Git.

Nice to Have Experience:

- Experience with Software RAID development, RAID management software, or RAID feature enablement. - Experience with storage technologies such as SATA, NVMe, SCSI, PCIe storage, block layer, or storage driver stacks. - Understanding of Linux storage stack, block devices, device mapper, MD RAID, or related storage infrastructure. - Familiarity with firmware, BIOS/UEFI, pre-OS environments, and OS-driver interaction. - Experience with UEFI architecture, UEFI drivers, UEFI applications, and related libraries. - Experience with UEFI HII development for configuration or management interfaces. - Exposure to Windows device driver development or debugging. - Experience with Python, Shell scripting, and Linux system development. - Understanding of x86-64 platform architecture and hardware/software interaction. - Prior experience working on RAID, storage subsystems, platform firmware, or customer issue debugging.

Academic & Professional Credentials:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Electronics, or a related field. - 5+ years of relevant experience in Linux device drivers, system software, kernel-level development, firmware, storage software, or low-level platform software development.
