We are looking for a highly motivated Senior System Software Engineer to develop and improve system software for next-generation O-RAN infrastructure. You will work at the intersection of SoC architecture, cellular systems, firmware, operating systems, and radio-access-network workloads, helping deliver industry-leading performance and energy efficiency. This role focuses on software for 5G and emerging 6G infrastructure, including Radio Units (RUs), Distributed Units (DUs), and the interfaces connecting them. You will collaborate with hardware, architecture, platform, networking, and cellular-software teams throughout pre-silicon development, silicon bring-up, productization, and deployment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Design, develop, test, and optimize system software and firmware for SoCs used in O-RAN and cellular infrastructure.
• Develop power-management policies and performance optimizations across CPU, GPU, accelerator, memory, interconnect, I/O, and networking subsystems.
• Analyze representative RU and DU workloads to identify architectural and system-level bottlenecks, including compute, memory bandwidth, latency, synchronization, and data-movement constraints.
• Develop and tune power-management capabilities such as dynamic voltage and frequency scaling, clock and pow...
