Core Responsibilities

- C++ Systems Development: Design, write, and maintain low-level C++ code for ChromeOS system daemons (Chromium/ChromeOS userspace), hardware abstraction layers (HALs), and enterprise management services.
- Linux Kernel Engineering: Debug, patch, and up-stream Linux kernel drivers (USB, display, audio, V4L2, power management, PCI) for next-generation ChromeOS and CfM hardware platforms.
- Root-Cause Diagnostics: Utilize advanced system debugging tools (gdb, perf, ftrace, ebpf, strace, crashdump analysis) to troubleshoot panics, memory leaks, high latency, and hardware edge cases.
- Chrome for Meetings (CfM) Integration: Solve real-time video/audio hardware integration issues, ensuring zero-latency media delivery, seamless USB-peripheral hotplugging, and high system reliability for enterprise conference room environments.
- Upstream & Open-Source Collaboration: Work within the Chromium OS open-source codebase, submitting clean, well-tested code patches, conducting peer code reviews, and maintaining build scripts (Gentoo/Portage, ebuilds).
- Performance & Stability Optimization: Profile system boots, optimize resource utilization (RAM/CPU/Power), and prevent platform-level regressions across diverse hardware configurations.





Requirements & Qualifications
- Advanced C++: 5+ years of hands-on experience in modern C++ (C++14/17/20) systems programming, including smart pointers, asynchronous execution (Mojo, libchrome), memory safety, and multi-threading primitives.
- Linux Kernel Expertise: Proven track record writing, patching, and debugging Linux kernel drivers, module development, and working with device trees (DTS).
- Debugging Expertise: Mastery of diagnostic tools like gdb, perf, ftrace, valgrind, strace, and reading kernel ring buffers (dmesg).
- ChromeOS / Chromium Stack: Hands-on experience with the ChromeOS platform architecture, Chromium builds, Portage/ebuild systems, DBus, Mojo, or shill/cros_healthd/powerd.
- CfM & Media Peripherals: Prior experience with enterprise conference hardware (Chrome for Meetings), V4L2 (Video4Linux), ALSA/PipeWire, USB UVC/UAC, and HDMI-CEC display pipelines.
- Hardware Bring-up: Experience bringing up new x86 or ARM SoC boards, modifying bootloaders (Coreboot/Depthcharge), or tuning power states.
- Chromium Code Contribution: Active code contributions to the upstream Chromium OS or Linux Kernel projects.
