Salary: £45,000 - 80,000 per year

Requirements:

• Background in low-level, embedded or systems software, with a sound understanding of hardware and software interaction.
• A track record of guiding technical work across several engineering teams through collaboration and influence.
• Ability to reason across system behaviour, dependencies, integration needs, risk and validation.
• Clear communication skills, including explaining technical choices and trade-offs to different audiences.
• Delivery experience within a product programme involving cross-group deliverable dates and changing priorities.
• Knowledge of GPU architecture, device drivers, firmware, compilers, graphics or compute software.
• Familiarity with Linux, Android, embedded platforms, SoC bring-up or hardware validation.
• Experience working with silicon, platform, product, customer or partner engineering teams.
• Understanding of functional safety, secure development or another regulated development process.
• Involvement in system specifications, validation strategies or technical readiness criteria.

Responsibilities:

• We guide software delivery for a GPU development programme, considering new hardware features, product needs and programme priorities.
