Embedded Systems / Kernel Engineer

What You'll Do7

• Spot gaps in how models handle embedded and kernel topics, then point research and engineering teams toward fixes.
• Write domain tasks on memory management, concurrency, device drivers, RTOS behavior and hardware description languages, and pair each one with a correct, well-structured solution.
• Review submitted tasks and solutions, then give clear written technical feedback the submitter can act on.
• Build grading rubrics that judge correctness, safety and performance of systems-level and hardware design answers.
• Check hardware design and verification work, including RTL, for accuracy.
• Compare notes with other subject matter experts so training data stays consistent and correct.
• Explain tricky technical tradeoffs in plain written prose for an audience of researchers.

Requirements6

• 4+ years of dedicated professional work in embedded systems, firmware, OS kernel or chip design at a top-tier semiconductor, OS, device, automotive or aerospace organization.
• Production-level C and/or C++ for resource-constrained or performance-critical code.
• Hands-on depth in at least one of: Linux kernel or driver work, RTOS and firmware, or RTL design and verification with Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL or UVM.
• A career track that shows steady progression.
• Availability of 20+ hours on weekdays.
• Strong written communication and the ability to lay out complex technical decisions in clear prose.

Who Should Apply

Senior embedded, kernel, firmware or RTL engineers who have shipped production C or C++ at a top-tier org and want their systems knowledge to shape AI training data. Expect part-time hours, written technical review, and close work with researchers.
