Software Engineer, Networking & Linux Systems

Austin, TexasmidAdded yesterday

About this role

Join us as a Senior Systems & Networking Engineer to design and optimize the communication infrastructure for autonomous vehicles and delivery robots. You'll own everything from internal multi-gigabit Automotive Ethernet networks with microsecond time synchronization to external 5G connectivity, debugging across the entire Linux stack and hardware layers.

What you'll do

  • Architect and optimize fault-tolerant internal networks connecting sensors, compute nodes, and controllers with deterministic latency
  • Design and implement vehicle-wide PTP/gPTP clock synchronization for safety-critical data paths
  • Configure automotive/industrial managed switches (Marvell, Broadcom) with VLAN segmentation and Automotive Ethernet protocols
  • Engineer multi-carrier cellular bonding and failover mechanisms for robust external connectivity and zero-drop links
  • Debug and tune low-level Linux networking parameters (NIC buffers, hardware offloads, NAPI) for high-throughput, low-latency performance
  • Develop system-level software and daemons in Go and Python for x86_64 and ARM64 platforms; build observability and monitoring for fleet connectivity health

What they're looking for

  • Linux systems and networking fundamentals
  • IP routing, VLANs, firewalling (nftables/iptables)
  • Packet analysis and troubleshooting (tcpdump, Wireshark)
  • Go and Python programming
  • PTP/IEEE 802.1AS (gPTP) time synchronization
  • Automotive Ethernet and TSN standards
  • Hardware debugging across kernel drivers and physical interfaces
  • C/C++ reading and kernel-level debugging

Likely interview questions

  • Walk us through a complex networking issue you debugged that spanned user-space code, kernel drivers, and hardware—what was your approach?
  • Describe your experience with PTP or IEEE 802.1AS synchronization; how have you ensured microsecond-level timing accuracy in a real system?
