• BS or MS degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering or related field (or equivalent experience)

• Strong C programming skills

• Minimum of 10+ years of related development experience

• Experience working with large codebases

• Background with operating system interfaces for threads, process control, and virtual memory

• Experience writing and debugging multithreaded programs

• Good written communication
