  • 2+ years in a technical leadership or people management role
  • Strong experience in C/C++ and systems-level software development
  • Exposure to Python3 development
  • Proven track record of delivering complex software systems in close collaboration with hardware or firmware teams
  • Experience owning software through hardware bring-up, validation, and production cycles
  • Solid understanding of system-level architecture, hardware/software interfaces, and low-level debugging
  • Strong communication and leadership skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across geographically distributed teams
  • Ability to operate effectively in a Taiwan-based role while working closely with US-based engineering counterparts across time zones

Nice to have:

  • Experience developing system software for accelerators, high-performance computing, or data-center platforms
  • Familiarity with Linux kernel development, device drivers, or other hardware-adjacent software layers
  • Experience with performance optimization, low-level debugging, and profiling of system software
  • Exposure to manufacturing or factory test environments and supporting software bring-up in production settings
