  • Develop hypervisor on ARM/RISC-v to finish cross-domain virtualization/partition isolation
  • Perform deep analysis and do optimization across kernel scheduling, memory, bandwidth, and inter‐core communication

Requirements:

  • Master’s degree or above in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields
  • 3+ years of experience in Operating System kernel design and development (Linux or equivalent)
  • Proficient in kernel subsystems such as scheduling, memory management, device drivers, and IPC mechanisms
  • Strong capability in performance analysis, real‐time optimization, and troubleshooting complex system issues
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills
  • fluent in English for technical discussions and documentation

Nice to have:

  • Familiarity with automotive functional safety standards (ISO 26262, ASIL levels)
  • Experience on safety qualification of autonomous driving applications
  • Understanding of virtualization (KVM, Xen, VirtIO), with hands‐on experience in GPU virtualization
  • Understanding of new architectures such as RISC‐V, ARMv9, or other embedded CPUs
  • Experience collaborating with academia or industry R&D partners
  • Understanding of Android graphics architecture (e.g., Gralloc, EGL, Vulkan) and MESA internals
