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.

All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or veteran status.

The ideal candidate should be passionate about software engineering and possess leadership skills to drive sophisticated issues to resolution. They are required to communicate effectively and work optimally with geographically and culturally diverse teams across CoreAVI, such as Architecture, Implementation, Product Management, Quality Assurance, Verification and Certification teams. Our products are focused on graphics processor technologies, and successful candidates will require solid experience in graphics driver development and integration.

• Develop, integrate, debug, and certify graphics drivers that implement Vulkan SC across a compliment of GPUs in the CoreAVI portfolio.
• Develop, integrate, debug, and certify products that are based on Vulkan SC.
• Ensure compliance to Khronos based conformance test suites for all open standard interfaces.
• Develop internal, robust test suites for both Vulkan SC drivers and derived products in support of quality assurance.
• Develop baseline drivers and product compliment on Windows/Linux that will ultimately be deployed on safety critical operating systems and targets.
• Adhere to regulatory guidelines and generate pertinent artifacts in support of certification activities.
• Comply with defined coding standards and execute in alignment with defined end-to-end development lifecycle: proof of concept, in addition to the formal design and review of all software components (architecture capture, high / low Level requirement creation and code implementation)
