Location: New YorkREQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

8+ years of professional experience in Linux kernel, device driver, or firmware engineering.
Deep, hands-on experience with kernel-level debugging (crash-dump analysis, KASAN/KGDB-class tooling) and board bring-up.
A track record of upstream or large-scale kernel contribution, patch review, or CVE / security backporting.
Experience owning release-candidate sign-off or go/no-go decisions for a shipping hardware or platform product.
Comfortable being the final technical escalation point under SLA pressure.
Able to work onsite in the US, core hours 09:00–18:00 EST.
Experience evaluating AI-assisted classification or drafting tools for correctness rather than accepting output at face value.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

Direct ChromeOS / Chromium OS experience (source tree, board/overlay structure, public issue trackerconventions).
Prior experience leading a distributed, follow-the-sun delivery team.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Own root cause and fix authorship for P0/P1 and other escalated ChromeOS platform defects — kernel, drivers, firmware, and peripheral/hardware integration.
Sign off release candidates against the agreed blocking criteria; target is 98% on-time RC sign-off.
Own escalation for anything the Bug Triage & Diagnostics or Release & Sustaining engineers cannot close alone— the final technical decision-maker in the pod.
Direct lab execution and hardware validation: physical device benches, flashing, peripheral compatibility, and multi-day stability runs.
Independently verify any AI-assisted triage output that reaches platform-level severity — confirm the classifiers component assignment where relevant, and never treat an automatically drafted root-cause hypothesis as final without checking it against the cited evidence.
Serve as the onsite technical point of contact for the client during core US hours — design reviews, escalationcalls, and decisions that need deep architectural context.
Mentor and direct the nearshore engineers on complex, cross-cutting cases.
Participate in the daily triage stand-up, weekly release-readiness review, and quarterly efficiency verification.
