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. 

The Role
We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Software Engineer (Hypervisor) to lead the development of advanced hypervisor features. This role requires expertise in hypervisors and virtualization technologies across x86 and ARM architectures. As a technical leader, you will play a critical role in enhancing the performance, scalability, and security of our virtualization solutions while mentoring junior engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the design, development, and implementation of advanced hypervisor features.
• Develop and optimize virtualization strategies to enhance system performance and security.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate hypervisor and virtualization technologies.
• Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in virtualization and system-level software.
• Perform code reviews and provide technical guidance to ensure quality and efficiency.
• Analyze and improve the stability, efficiency, and scalability of system resources.
• Mentor and provide technical leadership to junior engineers on the team.
• Perform additional job duties as assigned.

What We’re Looking For

Required Qualifications:

• 8–12+ years of experience developing low-level system software for Linux on x86/ARM, including virtualization and kernel components.
• Proficiency in C/C++ with working knowledge of x86/ARM assembly for low-level tasks.
• In-depth knowledge of x86 and ARM architectures.
• Strong expertise in virtualization technologies and hypervisors, including device emulations.
• Proven experience troubleshooting low-level software issues and differentiating between hardware and software problems.
• Familiarity with modern development workflows (CI/CD, issue tracking, automated testing) as applied to low-level systems software.
• Demonstrated leadership and mentoring skills, with the ability to guide junior engineers effectively.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Experience in developing or extending hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen, VMware, Hyper-V), including device emulation and system-level virtualization features.
• Exposure to safety-critical or certified development processes (e.g., DO-178C) is a plus.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work on complex, multidisciplinary projects.
