Your Skills and Abilities (Required Qualifications)
- This is a networking role, so you should know networking fundamentals like TCP/IP and how the whole network stack works - from drivers through applications.
- You should also understand application-level protocols like HTTP (and how application developers use those protocols).
- You know how to triage complicated system-wide issues in a team.
- Our operating systems are Linux, Android, and QNX - you should know how networking operates on at least one of these platforms.
- Most of our code is written in C, C++, and Java, so we expect you know at least one of these languages well.
- BS/MS/PhD in computer science or electrical engineering (or equivalent experience)
- 5+ years software development experience
What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
- Knowing WiFi, LTE, 5G, Bluetooth and/or UWB is great. (If you don't know those things, you will if you work here!)
- Vehicles are "data centers on wheels," so physical connectivity is important.
- If you've used a packet sniffer or protocol analyzer, you're a great fit for us.
- Demonstrated experience with methods for shipping highly-reliable software (such as telemetry/observability) is useful
- We value writing and collaboration skills - they're key to good system design
