Who we are: Lynx delivers modular, open standards-based software solutions that redefine the economics of developing, deploying, and maintaining high assurance, mission critical edge platforms. These secure edge computing solutions are designed to drive innovation and operational excellence in today’s most demanding environments. From advancing aerospace and defense capabilities to transforming commercial and industrial systems, Lynx collaborates across a wide range of industries, including automotive, medical, and critical infrastructure, to deliver tailored, high assurance solutions aligned with specific mission and operational requirements. Our key products and services are:

• LYNX Mosaic: A software platform that can include a LYNX safety-critical real-time operating system. MOSAI.ic’s modular design provides robust support for multicore processing. It allows different operating systems and applications of different criticality levels to be run on separate cores for improved performance, reliability, and security.
• CoreSuite 2.0: A suite of graphics libraries and tools that enable GPU hardware acceleration for both graphics and “GPU Compute”, supporting applications such as machine learning and AI processing in edge devices.
• MOSA.ic.SCA and Vigiles, tools that provide Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) and Common Vulnerabilities Exposure (CVE) management for embedded Linux-based and other applications.
• Software development services for high-reliability applications that can include initial setup of a “DevSecOps” development environment, software application development, and long-term product lifecycle management.

SUMMARY:

As an R&D Innovation Engineer, you’ll work on prototyping and validating emerging technology initiatives, bridging the gap between early-stage experimentation and production readiness. You’ll focus on extending our core operating system, virtualization, and graphical and GPGPU capabilities into adjacent markets, driving product feasibility, and de-risking product concept to market transition process.

EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE:

• 5-8+ years of experience in software/hardware/embedded engineering
• Proficiency in prototyping, rapid iteration, and exploratory development
• Programming Language Experience – C (preferred), Python, RUST, OpenGL, Vulcan
• Solution Integration Experience – Linux, Container, Virtualization, Kubernetes, IPSec
• Strong communication skills to present technical risk, feasibility, and tradeoffs
• Bonus: experience with safety-critical systems, real-time constraints, or low-level kernel and network stack development
