About The Role

A device intended for a new kind of human-machine interface requires a new kind of operating system.

• Design and implement core OS components, including kernel, device drivers, memory management, process scheduling, and inter-process communication.
• Optimize system performance, power efficiency, and real-time responsiveness.
• Work closely with hardware teams to ensure seamless integration with custom silicon and peripherals.
• Define and enforce security, reliability, and scalability best practices within the OS stack.
• Drive OS bring-up on new hardware platforms, debugging low-level system issues.
• Evaluate and integrate open-source or proprietary OS components where applicable.
