Description

Lead kernel integration and validation for new silicon platforms, from early board bring‑up through full feature enablement. Architect and maintain the Maintenance OS (MOS) kernel, ensuring long‑term stability, security, and compatibility across multiple hardware generations. Own the end‑to‑end lifecycle of GPU drivers (NVIDIA, amdgpu, ROCm), including:Integration of out‑of‑tree (OOT) kernel drivers DKMS packaging, build, and version‑tracking, Compatibility validation against kernel and firmware baselines Define and manage build and release pipelines for kernel RPMs, driver SRPMs, and signing workflows. Collaborate with hardware, platform, and firmware teams to validate kernel features tied to new silicon capabilities (PCIe, CXL, IOMMU, NUMA, etc.). Own spec files, RPM packaging, and associated CI/CD automation for kernel and driver deliverables. Conduct deep‑dive debugging across the full stack — from kernel to device firmware — to resolve performance, stability, or bring‑up issues. Drive engagement with upstream Linux communities to upstream or align kernel changes where feasible.
