Software Development Engineer

Salary : $90,000 - 150,000 per year

Requirements :

• I am looking for candidates who possess over 3 years of industry experience in high-performance or embedded systems development.
• Strong programming abilities in Python are essential, along with a mindset geared towards producing clean, production-quality code.
• Familiarity with fault isolation, exception handling, and resilient system design is important.
• Proficiency in Linux environments, shell scripting, and system-level debugging is necessary.
• Knowledge of system availability concepts, such as watchdog timers, health checks, and safe fallbacks, will be considered an advantage.

Responsibilities :

I expect you to analyze, refactor, and enhance existing numerical algorithms and system components to boost efficiency, robustness, and fault tolerance.

You'll design and implement internal tools and production software primarily in Python, with optional expertise in C / Matlab, ensuring they adhere to no-outage software principles, including graceful failure handling, state integrity, and long-term stability.

You will be responsible for crafting modular, fault-tolerant code suitable for deployment across various platforms, including on-device, edge, and server environments.

Independently, you will design and implement complete features or functional modules from concept to deployment.

You will ensure the code you write is robust, isolated, and able to handle failures gracefully, aligning with no-outage software principles.

Performing thorough debugging and root cause analysis for edge cases and runtime issues will be part of your duties.

You will develop diagnostic tools and logging pipelines to enhance observability and facilitate rapid recovery.

I also expect you to lead testing and discovery efforts for evaluating new hardware platforms (for example, Nvidia Jetson), ensuring reliable operation under different loads and physical conditions.

You will collaborate with QA and hardware teams to validate system-level fault responses and software recovery pathways.
