Requirements

• Hands-On Linux Expertise: Deep understanding of Linux OS internals (kernel subsystems, module programming, system services, packaging DEB-based applications).
• C++ Proficiency: 34 years of professional experience in modern C++ (11/14/17), including STL, concurrency, memory management, and performance tuning.
• Computer Architecture: Strong grasp of CPU architecture, caching, memory hierarchy, and their impact on real-time performance.
• Real-Time Systems: Proven experience building or optimizing hard/soft real-time or near-real-time systems; knowledge of RT patches or real-time scheduling a plus.
• Signal Processing Foundations: Solid understanding of digital signal processing techniques, filter design, sampling theory, and noise reduction.
• Software Fundamentals: Expertise in data structures, algorithms, multithreading, interprocess communication, and design patterns.
• Agile Practices: Familiarity with Scrum/Kanban, user stories, continuous integration, and test-driven development.

Preferred Skills

• Designs and builds scalable, maintainable systems with a strong focus on reliability and performance.
• Writes clean, modular code and leads code reviews to uphold engineering standards across the team.
• Thinks like a product owner, aligning technical decisions with user impact and business outcomes.
