Description

  • Own the complete storage platform software stack, including custom Linux kernel drivers, OpenZFS pool design, NFS data serving, and automated fault recovery.
  • Design and implement Linux kernel drivers for NVMe fault recovery and GPIO overcurrent protection.
  • Work across PCI/PCIe, block layer, and interrupt subsystems to detect and recover from radiation-induced upsets without data loss.
  • Lead ZFS pool topology decisions by building quantitative reliability models and validating them through fault injection testing.
  • Develop the integration between NVMe controller reset behavior and ZFS so recovered drives rejoin the storage pool cleanly.
  • Rapidly prototype the architecture on commodity hardware and demonstrate sustained 10 Gbps writes with automated fault recovery.
  • De-risk the platform before committing to the target hardware and carry the design through integration and launch.

Requirements

  • 3+ years writing Linux kernel code with actual driver development involving PCI/PCIe devices, block storage, or interrupt-driven hardware.
  • Experience with storage systems such as ZFS or other copy-on-write filesystems, RAID, NVMe internals, or high-throughput network storage such as NFS.
  • Depth in one or more of the following areas: filesystem internals, block layer/device management, or storage protocol implementation.
  • Strong working knowledge of OS internals, including virtual memory, interrupt context constraints, synchronization primitives, and I/O stack behavior.
  • Hands-on experience at the driver hardware/software boundary, including DMA coherency, MMIO semantics, PCIe enumeration, and cache behavior.
  • Strong working knowledge of storage data structures and systems reasoning, such as Merkle trees, NVMe submission/completion queue ring buffers, hash tables, or radix trees.
  • Experience testing storage systems with fault injection, low-level tracing tools such as ftrace, perf, or bpftrace, and crash dump analysis with kdump or vmcore.
  • Experience designing software recovery around storage hardware fault cases in environments such as storage firmware, autonomous vehicles, large-scale distributed infrastructure, or embedded platforms.
  • Familiarity with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot and cross-compilation.
  • Comfort working in a hardware lab with serial consoles and logic analyzers, including debugging PCIe enumeration failures on prototype boards.

Benefits

  • Competitive salary with a hiring range of $154,000 to $211,000 USD.
  • Equity as part of the total rewards package.
  • Generous PTO and sick leave policy.
  • Parental leave.
  • Annual learning and development stipend.
  • Additional benefits and perks available through Relativity Space’s total rewards package.
