Sr. Staff Engineer, RISC-V Software Workload Enablement

What You Will Learn

• Gain deep expertise in bleeding-edge RISC-V system software across server and AI-accelerated environments.
• Directly influence an upcoming project, a high-visibility initiative shaping the future of our internal compute infrastructure.
• Work at the intersection of AI/ML workloads and hardware/software co-design.
• Shape the technical roadmap for how the industry adopts RISC-V for high-performance compute.

Who You Are

• A Technical Catalyst: You thrive on the challenge of driving AI hardware porting to RISC-V and making complex software stacks run efficiently on new hardware.
• A Systems Expert: You possess deep knowledge of system software, compilers, or low-level OS internals. You are an expert in ARM or x86 environments and are ready to apply those skills to the RISC-V frontier.
• A Project Driver: You have the technical authority to lead the implementation of a compute migration to RISC-V through strategic IT and DevOps enablement.
• Collaborative & Cross-Functional: You enjoy acting as the "technical glue" between IT, DevOps, and AI teams, coordinating complex efforts across boundaries to ensure seamless workload transitions.
• Architecture Agnostic: You are a systems thinker who understands how to bridge the gap between infrastructure and core silicon engineering.

What We Need

• Education: BS/MS/PhD in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• Workload Expertise: Extensive experience in workload porting, DevOps engineering, or application enablement.
• Systems Fluency: Strong familiarity with CPU architectures and systems design, with a proven track record of troubleshooting and optimizing performance across new architectures.
• Leadership Qualities: Ability to coordinate across multiple technical teams and the potential to mentor or grow a small engineering pod.
• Execution Focus: A mindset geared toward technical delivery and methodology development rather than broad community networking.
