Our team brings together founders from Oculus and Ubiquity6, alongside proven leaders from Meta, Google, and Apple, with deep expertise spanning hardware and software. Join us in shaping a future where computers truly come alive. About the Role A device intended for a new kind of human-machine interface requires a new kind of operating system. As an Embedded OS Architect, you will be critical in designing and developing the next-generation operating system for Sesame’s AI-driven computing platform. You will lead architectural decisions, optimize system performance, and ensure seamless integration of hardware and software. Your expertise in building operating systems will help define the foundation for a new class of intelligent, responsive, and real-time computing experiences. Responsibilities: Architect and develop a custom embedded operating system optimized for AI-driven, real-time consumer applications. Design and implement core OS components, including kernel, device drivers, memory management, process scheduling, and inter-process communication. Optimize system performance, power efficiency, and real-time responsiveness. Work closely with hardware teams to ensure seamless integration with custom silicon and peripherals. Define and enforce security, reliability, and scalability best practices within the OS stack. Drive OS bring-up on new hardware platforms, debugging low-level system issues. Evaluate and integrate open-source or proprietary OS components where applicable. Collaborate with application developers to ensure smooth and efficient interaction between the OS and higher-level software stacks.
