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.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide technical leadership across multiple projects, setting engineering direction and influencing architectural decisions for high-assurance embedded and edge platforms.
• Partner with product management and senior leadership to shape technical strategy and ensure alignment with business and mission requirements.
• Lead design and development of complex, safety-critical and performance-critical systems in C/C++ and related technologies.
• Mentor and coach engineers at all levels, raising the technical bar and fostering a culture of high-quality software development.
• Define and enforce best practices for architecture, coding standards, testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to synthesize requirements into scalable, secure, and maintainable technical solutions.
• Serve as an escalation point for critical production and integration challenges, guiding teams through troubleshooting and resolution.
• Drive innovation by evaluating emerging technologies, tools, and approaches that enhance product capabilities and development efficiency.

Education & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related technical field (Master’s preferred).
• 10+ years of professional software development experience, including substantial experience in C/C++.
• Demonstrated expertise in software architecture and systems integration in high-reliability or safety-critical environments (e.g., avionics, defense, automotive, medical).
• Proven track record of leading teams in delivering complex embedded systems and/or distributed platforms.
• Experience with embedded systems, RTOS, and hardware I/O device integration (MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, RS232, discrete, analog).
• Proficiency in Linux and Windows development environments.
• Experience working in CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and DevSecOps practices.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence across teams and functions.
