Rust Software Engineer

Location: Mountain View Role: Senior Engineer / Tech Lead / Architect Project Duration: 6 Months (Oct 2026 - Mar 2027), with a possibility of extension Technical Lead - Rust (Safety-Critical Real-Time Systems) Position Summary We are seeking an experienced Rust Software Engineer to develop next-generation safety-critical embedded software for automotive real-time systems. The ideal candidate will combine deep expertise in Rust , real-time operating systems , and functional safety standards to build secure, deterministic, and highly reliable software platforms. The role involves designing and implementing low-level platform components, middleware, device drivers, communication stacks, and safety-critical applications running on MCU, MPU, or heterogeneous multi-core platforms. Key Responsibilities Software Architecture & Development Design and develop safety-critical embedded software using Rust. Develop low-level platform software, middleware, drivers, and system services. Build high-performance real-time applications with deterministic behavior. Define software architecture and interface specifications. Optimize memory footprint, startup time, and CPU utilization. Perform code reviews and ensure compliance with safety guidelines. Functional Safety Contribute to safety concept implementation and software safety requirements. Develop software compliant with ISO 26262 Support safety analysis activities: FMEA
