Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Dice, a recruiter, is advertising a contract Lead Hardware Engineer role; the hiring client is not identified. The role focuses on optimizing hardware offloading and systems performance, integrating and benchmarking NVLink support, and improving platform throughput on ARM systems.

Responsibilities

• Implement and optimize hardware-based network offloading (SR-IOV, NFV) for ARM bare-metal compute hosts
• Investigate, integrate, and benchmark NVLink support for CPU-to-CPU interconnect performance improvements
• Profile hardware bus bottlenecks, PCIe throughput, and latency characteristics on ARM superchip platforms
• Deliver technical recommendations and kernel/user-space code enhancements to maximize platform throughput

Skills

• Heavy experience in hardware offloading and systems performance tuning
• Deep background in SR-IOV, NFV (Network Functions Virtualization), and PCIe device pass-through
• Mastery of C and C++ for bare-metal performance engineering
• Experience investigating or implementing hardware interconnect acceleration (such as NVLink CPU-to-CPU performance optimizations)
• Knowledge of DPDK, eBPF, or direct memory access (DMA) drivers
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer or Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field

Benefits

• Remote work
