Are you the person we're looking for?

Are you passionate about building the tools that power the world's most advanced embedded systems? Join a team of highly skilled engineers developing the compilers, libraries, utilities, and command-line tools that help developers create mission-critical software used in automotive, robotics, industrial automation, and beyond.

This is an opportunity to work close to the operating system, solve complex technical challenges, and influence the evolution of a world-class development platform.

What You'll Do:

Design, develop, and enhance system-level software including compilers, command-line utilities, runtime libraries, and developer tooling. This involves a combination of in-house tools and the GNU or LLVM toolchains.
Build innovative solutions that enable customers to deliver high-performance, reliable, and secure embedded applications.
Investigate and solve complex technical problems across the software stack, from low-level system components to developer-facing tools.
Collaborate with experienced engineers to define product requirements, architecture, and long-term technical strategy.
Participate in design and code reviews, contributing to a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.
Continuously expand your expertise in compiler technologies, operating systems, embedded development, and software engineering best practices.

What You Bring:

Strong software development experience in C and/or C++.
Understanding of embedded software development concepts and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to tackle challenging technical issues.
Excellent collaboration and communication skills, with a passion for technical discussions and architecture design.
Curiosity, creativity, and a desire to build technology that other developers rely on every day.

Nice to Have:

Experience developing, maintaining, or optimizing compilers, toolchains, or language runtimes.
Interest in programming language implementation, code generation, optimization, or compiler internals.
Experience with Linux and/or Windows-based development environments.
Background in systems programming, including operating systems, debuggers, profilers, interpreters, linkers, or performance analysis tools.
Familiarity with low-level software, performance optimization, or developer productivity tools.

Why You'll Love This Role:

Work on technology that sits at the heart of embedded and real-time systems.
Solve technically challenging problems that require deep systems knowledge.
Collaborate with experts in operating systems, compilers, and systems software.
Influence products used by developers worldwide.
Grow your expertise in a highly specialized and impactful engineering domain.

If you are ready to use your expertise to drive real innovation, we would love to hear from you!
