Linux Kernel Engineer

Client of MBR Partners

We re looking for a talented Linux Kernel Engineer to help build the foundation of our next-generation AI accelerator platform. In this role, you ll design and optimise PCIe drivers, DMA engines, memory subsystems, and kernel firmware communication paths that power high-performance AI and ML workloads. You ll work closely with firmware, silicon, runtime, and datacenter software teams to deliver a robust, scalable kernel architecture built for modern AI infrastructure.

What You ll Do

• Develop PCIe kernel drivers, DMA pipelines, interrupts (MSI/MSI-X), and memory management for AI accelerators

• Build kernel interfaces (sysfs/debugfs) for telemetry, configuration, and observability

• Support multi-die/chiplet topologies, power/thermal management, and RAS mechanisms

• Optimize kernel performance for low-latency, high-throughput AI workloads

• Collaborate with runtime teams on kernel userspace APIs and device orchestration

What We re Looking For

• 5+ years developing Linux kernel drivers and subsystems in C

• Strong experience with PCIe, DMA, interrupts, and Linux memory management

• Hands-on with kernel debugging tools (ftrace, perf, kprobes, crash)

• Ability to work with hardware/RTL teams and interpret hardware specs

• Experience with accelerators, GPUs, RDMA, or distributed timing is a plus

• Familiarity with kernel upstream processes and secure, reliable driver design
