Nice to Have Skills and Experience

• Experience designing and deploying RAS strategies for Arm‑based architectures
• Familiarity with reliability modeling, stress and aging analysis, and silicon health monitoring
• Understanding of firmware and software roles in RAS implementations
• Exposure to industry standards and specifications such as RAS for PCIe, CXL, or JEDEC memory
• Hands‑on experience with failure analysis and silicon debug workflows
• Background in safety‑critical or high‑availability systems (e.g., automotive, aerospace, cloud infrastructure)

Benefits

• Competitive compensation structure
• PTO, benefits, sabbaticals and parental bonding leave
