  • Develop and maintain a holistic architectural view of the middleware stack, including dependencies, interfaces and potential failure paths, for various compute platforms.
  • Help evolve and strengthen the middleware and diagnostics architecture by identifying improvement opportunities such as decoupling interdependent components, designing appropriate fault reactions, etc.
  • Define and implement component and system level diagnostics strategy, including fault detection, reporting, logging and traceability.
  • Analyze fault propagation scenarios across components and help design mitigations that improve system availability and safety.
  • Generate and track fault metrics on a regular cadence.
Qualifications:
  • B.S./M.S./PhD in Engineering, Physics or relevant field and 7+ years of experience
  • Strong experience in middleware, ideally in embedded or distributed systems
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to translate architectural and safety considerations into actionable engineering requirements
  • Demonstrated ability to apply software engineering best practices
  • Experience working in cross-functional environments involving platform, safety and software teams
Bonus Qualifications:
  • Hands on experience with design and implementation of diagnostic systems such as health monitoring, fault reduction or logging frameworks
  • C++, MATLAB, Python
  • Experience on Safety-Critical Systems

$192,000 - $275,000 a year
