Engineering Manager, OS, Robot Software

Engineering management experience (essential): a track record of leading, growing, engaging, and retaining a high-performing software/systems team — including hiring, coaching, feedback, and performance management. People management is your first priority.

Delivery through a team: experience owning a team's roadmap and shipping through others — planning, prioritization, resourcing, and accountability for quality and operational reliability.

Technical credibility: hands-on depth in what takes to architect and deliver embedded software shipped on a product to real customers. Demonstrate knowledge of high-performance, low-latency embedded software (C & C++ preferred) to earn the trust of senior engineers and own the team's technical decisions. You don't need to be the team's top individual contributor.

OS fundamentals: solid understanding of the linux kernel, device trees, board support packages, build & packaging systems for embedded devices, software update and OTA, QNX fundamentals, security and robust testing in SIL and HIL

Peripheral drivers: broad experience authoring highly performant and reliable periperhal drivers with experience across both low & high (e.g. PCIe) speed devices. Bonus points for experience with software/hardware architectures that implement high reliability fault tolerance.

Leadership: Cross functional: the ability to set direction and deliver through influence across many stakeholder teams. Diversity: experience managing direct reports in different time zones and leading projects involving external partners and vendors

Experience with NVIDIA DriveOS

Experience with a micro-kernel and/or real-time OS (e.g. QNX) is a plus.

Experience with NVIDIA Jetson and/or Drive platforms, Qualcomm, AMD, or Renesas compute platforms.
