HyperSpace dramatically simplifies and improves the mobile experience by allowing users to instantly launch important web-based applications (before Windows(R) even boots), automatically connect to the best available network, extend battery life, and achieve new levels of uptime and security protection.

Position Summary

Reporting to the Senior Director of Platform Engineering, the Linux Kernel - Senior Architect will participate in the architecture, design and implementation of the Hyperspace linux kernel. As one of the key elements of Hyperspace, the Hypercore linux kernel needs to boot instantly, be compact, very power efficient, extremely robust and interoperate with a very wide range of x86 based computers.

Major Responsibilities


 *
Hands on contributor towards building a robust, commercial quality linux kernel

 *
Improve the boot time and power efficiency of the current Hypercore kernel

 *
Plan and maintain a roadmap for kernel upgrades

 *
Driver development and back porting as required

Experience & Skill Set

The ideal candidate will have recent, demonstrated, development expertise delivering a commercial grade linux kernel on a 'mass market product' preferably on a mobile device such as media player, cell phone or notebook-netbook computer.


8-10 years of  Development experience in most the following areas is required;



 *   Linux kernels 2.6.18 thru 2.6.29 on x86 processors
 *   Linux based power management for battery powered devices
 *   High resolution - 3D graphics on linux
 *   Linux kernel drivers for common peripheral components
 *   Experience with ARM processors is considered a plus



Solid c programming and kernel debugging skills are required. Familiarity with svn and bugzilla is a plus.
