Who we are: Lynx delivers modular, open standards‑based software solutions that redefine the economics of developing, deploying, and maintaining high assurance, mission critical edge platforms. These secure edge computing solutions are designed to drive innovation and operational excellence in today’s most demanding environments. From advancing aerospace and defense capabilities to transforming commercial and industrial systems, Lynx collaborates across a wide range of industries, including automotive, medical, and critical infrastructure, to deliver tailored, high assurance solutions aligned with specific mission and operational requirements.

Our key products and services are:

• LYNX MOSA.ic: A software platform that can include a LYNX safety‑critical real‑time operating system. MOSA.ic's modular design provides robust support for multicore processing. It allows different operating systems and applications of different criticality levels to be run on separate cores for improved performance, reliability, and security.
• Core Suite 2.0: A suite of graphics libraries and tools that enable GPU hardware acceleration for both graphics and "GPU Compute", supporting applications such as machine learning and AI processing in edge devices.
• MOSA.ic.
  
  SCA and Vigiles, tools that provide Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Common Vulnerabilities Exposure (CVE) management for embedded Linux‑based and other applications.
• Software development services for high‑reliability applications that can include initial setup of a "Dev Sec Ops " development environment, software application development, and long‑term product lifecycle management.

We are seeking a Staff Software Engineer – Hypervisor to drive the technical direction, architecture, and implementation of advanced hypervisor features for our Mosaic platform. This role requires deep expertise in virtualization across x86 and ARM architectures, as well as the ability to influence product roadmaps, guide cross‑functional teams, and tackle the most complex technical challenges. As a Staff Engineer, you’ll not only deliver innovative hypervisor solutions but also serve as a technical leader and mentor—elevating the engineering bar across Lynx.

You will be instrumental in ensuring our hypervisor solutions meet the demanding performance, scalability, and safety‑critical requirements of aerospace, defense, industrial, and edge markets.

• Technical Leadership & Architecture
  • Define and drive the technical vision for Lynx’s hypervisor architecture across x86 and ARM platforms.
  • Lead design and development of new virtualization strategies, including device emulation and secure partitioning.
  • Provide technical guidance to senior and junior engineers, influencing best practices and coding standards.
• Hands‑On Engineering
  • Architect, develop, and optimize core hypervisor components with a focus on performance, scalability, and security.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex system‑level issues, including differentiating hardware vs. software challenges.
  • Ensure integration with RTOS, Linux, and mixed‑criticality applications within Mosaic.
• Cross‑Functional Impact
  • Partner with Product, Delivery, and Customer Success teams to align hypervisor features with strategic goals.
  • Collaborate with safety‑certification teams on DO‑178C, ISO 26262, or similar compliance initiatives.
  • Act as an internal SME and external technical representative for hypervisor technologies.
  • Explore emerging technologies in virtualization, isolation, and mixed‑criticality systems.
  • Mentor engineers across teams, developing future technical leaders within Lynx.
  • Contribute to shaping the long‑term technical roadmap for Mosaic.

• 10–15+ years of experience developing systems‑level software, including virtualization, OS kernels, or hypervisors for x86/ARM.
• Expert proficiency in C/C++ with working knowledge of x86/ARM assembly for low‑level tasks.
• Deep understanding of x86 and ARM architectures, including virtualization extensions.
• Proven track record…
