Andersen is hiring a Software Architect for a global autonomous vehicle leader. The role involves optimizing a real-time Linux-based software stack to enhance system performance and efficiency. 

The customer is a global leader in autonomous vehicle technology. With deep roots in the AV industry, it combines cutting-edge robotics, machine learning, and automotive engineering. The company operates in several locations including Las Vegas, Pittsburgh, and Singapore, and is recognized for its strong safety-first philosophy and innovative leadership. 

The project is focused on conducting an in-depth performance analysis and optimization of a near real-time, Linux-based software stack for autonomous vehicles. The goal is to identify and fix system bottlenecks across CPU, memory, I/O, and network layers. 

Responsibilities:  

• Conducting comprehensive performance analysis of the entire software stack, from the Linux kernel and drivers up to the application layer.

• Analyzing Inter-Process Communication (IPC) mechanisms for opportunities to increase throughput and lower overhead.

• Identifying and remedy architectural pitfalls that can lead to performance degradation, memory fragmentation, or unpredictable timing.

• Collaborating closely with our core engineering teams to implement recommended changes and architectural improvements.

• Developing and document best practices and performance-aware design patterns for our developers to follow.

• Establishing key performance indicators (KPIs) and tooling to monitor and prevent performance regressions.   

Must-haves: 

• Experience in Software Architecture for 6+ years. 

• Prior experience in the autonomous vehicle, robotics, aerospace, or high-frequency trading (HFT) industries.  - Experience with real-time Linux patches (e.g. PREEMPT_RT).  - Familiarity with common robotics middleware (e.g. ROS, DDS) and their performance characteristics.  - Knowledge of hardware-specific acceleration (e.g. CUDA, TensorRT).  

• Deep understanding of Linux OS and Linux kernel internals, particularly in areas of the scheduler, memory management, and networking stack. 

• Experience in developing peripheral devices drivers (usb, spi, i2c etc). - Experience with enterprise architect, Visio, magic dear and other tools. 

• Experience in real time operation systems (FreeRTOs, qnx, linux rt etc). 

• Systems-level performance engineering with a proven track record of optimizing complex, multi-threaded applications in Linux.  

• Deep understanding of inter-process communication on Linux (including dubs, semaphores, pipes etc)- Experience in system level architecture. - Excellent communication skills. 

• Level of English – from Upper-Intermediate.
