Job Title:

Principal Systems Engineer:

Position Overview

The Principal Systems Engineer is a senior individual contributor who owns system‑level architecture and technical direction for complex platforms. This role works across software, AI systems, cloud platforms, and hardware‑aware architectures, with a strong focus on performance, scalability, and memory‑centric systems.

The engineer operates with a high degree of independence, solves highly complex problems, and influences technical direction across multiple teams. This role remains hands‑on, while also setting standards and mentoring senior engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and define end‑to‑end system architecture across frontend, backend, Linux‑based systems, and cloud infrastructure
• Design and build full‑stack platforms, including services, APIs, data pipelines, and user interfaces
• Architect and integrate AI and agent‑based workflows, including orchestration, memory, and data handling
• Apply hardware and memory knowledge to optimize system performance, scalability, and efficiency
• Develop and review Linux system software and device‑level components using C and C++, when required
• Lead performance analysis, debugging, and optimization across software and hardware layers
• Build and maintain web‑based tools, dashboards, and visualizations to expose system behavior, metrics, and operational insights
• Collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, and platform teams within the semiconductor ecosystem
• Mentor senior and staff engineers; help define engineering standards and best practices
• Serve as a technical authority, influencing design decisions and architectural direction beyond a single team

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related technical discipline
• 12+ years of experience demonstrating expert‑level knowledge in systems engineering, software engineering, or platform development
• Recognized technical authority in one or more areas, with extensive knowledge across multiple technical sub‑functions
• Strong hands‑on expertise in C, C++, and Linux systems programming, including performance‑critical components
• Proven ability to define solutions and lead large, highly complex technical projects with impact beyond a single team
• Demonstrated experience designing and delivering large‑scale, distributed, full‑stack systems
• Deep hands‑on experience with data platforms, including SQL and NoSQL databases, for data‑intensive workloads
• Experience building web‑based tooling, dashboards, or visualization layers that surface system, performance, or operational data
• Ability to work with a high degree of independence, guided by functional objectives rather than detailed instructions
• Strong track record of solving highly complex problems, driving innovation, and defining standards that others follow
• Demonstrated influence across teams through architecture ownership, technical reviews, and mentoring

Preferred Qualifications (Hardware / Memory / Accelerator Focus)

• Strong knowledge of advanced memory technologies, including HBM, LPDDR, and emerging DRAM architectures, and their system‑level implications
• Experience working with or around AI accelerators (GPUs, NPUs, or custom silicon), with emphasis on memory bandwidth and data movement
• Understanding of AI/ML inference‑centric and memory‑intensive workloads
• Experience with data‑intensive or datacenter‑scale systems
• Familiarity with performance profiling, analysis, and optimization tools across CPU, memory, I/O, and interconnects
• Experience using system‑level models, analytical frameworks, or memory simulation tools to guide architectural decisions
• Background in semiconductor companies, hardware‑focused organizations, or close collaboration with silicon and firmware teams is strongly preferred
