• At least 3 years in a technical leadership, architecture, or system‑level decision‑making role

• Ability to reason across hardware–software boundaries, including both digital and analog domains

• Deep proficiency in C/C++, Linux kernel internals, firmware frameworks such as BIOS/UEFI, and bootloaders like U‑Boot, along with board support package development

• Background working with networking platforms, including switch architectures and integration with ASIC or FPGA software stacks

• Hands‑on experience with memory bring‑up (e.g., DDR), high‑speed interfaces such as PCIe, and common peripheral buses including I2C, SPI, MDIO, and GPIO, as well as mixed‑signal subsystems

• Strong sense of ownership and end‑to‑end system accountability

• Demonstrated success leading complex platform or hardware‑software integration programs

• Experience contributing to or developing Linux‑based network operating system platforms

• Experience with SONiC platform development

• Familiarity with large‑scale or data‑center‑class networking environments

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related technical field
