Deine Rolle im Team
- The future of AI computing is light, not electrons.
- At Q.ANT, we are building photonic processing systems that compute with light-delivering a scalable, energy-efficient alternative to transistor-based architectures for next-generation AI and high-performance computing.
- As Senior Embedded Linux Engineer, you take technical ownership of our embedded Linux stack: from custom Linux images and kernel/device drivers to production-ready field deployments.
- You'll work with technologies such as Yocto, PetaLinux, and Zephyr RTOS, actively shaping the interface between photonic hardware and software.
- Define and own the in-house embedded Linux stack and embedded software for our photonic AI accelerators.
- Develop and maintain custom Linux images (Yocto/PetaLinux) as well as kernel and device drivers.
- Interface on-chip and off-chip components via MMIO, AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C, and UART under real-time requirements.
- Define and develop host-Linux-based components, including Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability (RAS) tasks in the Linux host system.
- Establish best practices, tools, and methods for building custom Linux and embedded software solutions.
- Coach and develop junior and mid-level engineers.
- Collaborate closely with R&D software engineers, processor architects, and digital design engineers.
- Ensure successful bring-ups and field deployments.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- Deep understanding of the Linux build system.
- Understanding of services design in a Linux environment.
Erfahrung
- M.Sc./M.Eng. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field; equivalent industry experience also considered.
- 3+ years of hands-on experience building custom Linux images and device drivers.
- 3+ years of experience in low-level software development and RTOS.
- Hands-on experience interfacing on-chip and off-chip components via MMIO, AXI, PCIe, SPI, I2C, UART.
- Solid command of C/C++ and Python; experience with Yocto and/or PetaLinux.
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and agile development methodology.
Unser Angebot
- Work on the leading edge: Photonic AI acceleration technologies that will define the next decade of computing - already validated in production HPC environments.
- Make impact at scale: Help solve one of computing's biggest challenges-making growing demand in compute and sustainability go hand in hand.
- Own your work from day one: Broad autonomy and decision authority with direct impact on product success and the future of AI infrastructure.
- Fast-track your growth: Work on challenges with few industry precedents-every problem you solve becomes new institutional knowledge and potentially industry-defining IP.
- World-class team: Collaborate alongside a passionate, international, cross-functional team of experts in photonics, processor design, and AI systems.
- Direct access to leadership: Work closely with the company's founders, including CEO Dr. Michael Förtsch, and advisory board members who shaped the semiconductor industry (ARM, Intel, Infineon).
- Collaborative culture: Innovative work environment that values technical excellence, open communication, and pragmatic problem-solving.
- Be part of history: Join at the inflection point where photonic computing transitions from research to mainstream-your contributions will shape this transformation.
