Overview
Our Toronto-based client is building the next generation of high-performance energy-efficient computing platforms. This role sits at the intersection of silicon firmware and operating systems ideal for senior engineers who thrive in complex performance-critical environments. Youll design and optimize custom kernel-level solutions create powerful telemetry and debugging tools and collaborate with world-class teams to ensure that no performance is left untapped.Key Responsibilities
- Build and optimize custom Linux kernel drivers that integrate with low-level firmware to expose and control advanced CPU features.
- Develop performance and telemetry tooling to capture analyze and visualize CPU behavior enabling deep insights into system efficiency and scalability.
- Debug and profile across the siliconfirmwareOS boundary working directly with performance counters schedulers and power management subsystems.
- Collaborate with leading hardware and software engineers to push the boundaries of efficiency performance and innovation in next-generation datacenter and edge platforms.
- Contribute to system bring-up kernel porting and board support packages for new CPU architectures.
- Leverage open-source tools and communities (perf ftrace eBPF etc.) and contribute improvements upstream.
- Investigate and resolve the most challenging performance bottlenecks spanning compiler output kernel scheduling cache/memory and interconnect.
- Drive performance benchmarking methodology and automation for large-scale workloads from microbenchmarks to real application scenarios.
- Provide technical leadership mentoring and guidance for cross-functional teams working on hardware bring-up firmware integration and OS performance tuning.
Preferred Qualifications
- Expertise in Linux kernel internals including schedulers memory management interrupts and boot flows.
- Strong background in device driver development (custom drivers PCIe I/O networking storage or accelerators).
- Hands-on experience with performance counters and profiling tools (perf ftrace eBPF VTune oprofile or custom frameworks).
- Familiarity with power and performance management concepts such as DVFS CPU idle states clock/power domains and thermal throttling.
- Ability to debug at multiple layers: firmware kernel virtualization and user space applications.
- Exposure to SoC bring-up BSP development and low-level board initialization.
- Proficiency in systems programming languages (C C Python assembly) with emphasis on writing performant maintainable and low-level code.
- Knowledge of CPU microarchitecture concepts (pipelines caches MMU/virtual memory coherency interconnects).
- Experience working with or contributing to open-source kernel communities.
- Comfort navigating ambiguous performance issues using telemetry and measurement to drive root-cause analysis.
