About the Warfighter Systems Team: The Warfighter Systems team is at the forefront of developing groundbreaking augmented reality wearable technology, specifically building our EagleEye product; a helmet and glasses system designed to keep soldiers alive during combat situations. Our mission is to create a product that is not just worn, but an integrated extension of the user, operating with the precision and responsiveness a soldier needs. We are deeply focused on minimizing system latency, ensuring every interaction is instantaneous and reliable. Join us on the bleeding edge of intelligent, efficient, and resilient AR wearable devices, and help our service members succeed in any situation! Responsibilities: As a Staff Systems Engineer on the EagleEye team, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the performance and power characteristics of our cutting-edge AR wearable products. Your day-to-day will span from architectural definition through to execution, requiring a hybrid skillset bridging hardware and software. Your key responsibilities will include: Lead the evaluation and selection of next-generation silicon architectures by collaborating closely with Independent Hardware Vendors (IHVs), providing critical technical feedback on their silicon designs. Partner with Platform Software Engineers to drive system-level optimizations for power, performance, and latency across the entire product stack. Conduct in-depth analysis and optimization of battery life and thermal design power tradeoffs to deliver a comfortable, long-lasting, and high-performing wearable experience. Drive continuous improvement initiatives for system power efficiency and performance from initial concept through to final product deployment. Perform deep-dive root cause analysis for complex system performance and power issues, identifying solutions, and independently prioritizing efforts based on customer needs and engineering risk. Develop and implement rigorous profiling methodologies to identify bottlenecks and areas for optimization at various system levels. Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, software, product, and other engineering teams to integrate solutions and ensure holistic system success. Contribute to defining architectural requirements and specifications, translating product vision into technical execution. Required Experiences: 10+ years of experience in system-level power and performance engineering, with a strong focus on System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures. Deep understanding of silicon chip architectures, including CPU, GPU, DSP, and memory subsystems, and how they interact to impact overall system performance and power. Proven expertise in SoC performance tuning, optimization techniques, and power management strategies. Proficiency with industry-standard system profiling tools and methodologies, especially within Android operating environments and on Qualcomm chipsets. Strong command of lower-level software, including kernel and driver analysis, and a solid understanding of operating system concepts. Experience finding and solving complex hardware and software engineering problems independently, while effectively balancing customer needs with technical risks.
