About the Role

We are looking for a System Performance Architect to develop advanced performance technologies for HarmonyOS across the operating system, hardware, and chipset layers.

You will work on areas such as CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling, kernel optimization, power and thermal management, application responsiveness, and system performance.

Responsibilities

• Design hardware-software-chip co-optimization and system scheduling solutions for HarmonyOS.
• Develop and optimize CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling, frequency scaling, resource allocation, and performance/power/thermal mechanisms.
• Analyze and resolve OS-level application performance bottlenecks affecting responsiveness and animation smoothness.
• Design and optimize high-performance system modules, APIs, runtimes, and application frameworks.
• Track industry and academic developments and translate relevant technologies into future technical roadmaps.
• Drive solutions from architecture and research through implementation and deployment on end devices.

Requirements

Strong expertise in one or more of the following:

• OS or kernel performance optimization
• CPU/GPU/DDR scheduling
• Hardware-software or chipset co-optimization
• Power- and thermal-aware scheduling
• Application/runtime performance
• High-performance system or framework design

You should also have:

• Strong understanding of operating-system architecture and performance fundamentals.
• Hands-on experience identifying and solving complex performance bottlenecks.
• Strong engineering and problem-solving skills with measurable performance results.
• Good written and spoken English and experience working with international technical teams.

Preferred

Experience with Linux, Android, HarmonyOS, kernel scheduling, DVFS, heterogeneous computing, graphics performance, memory systems, or chipset-level optimization is a plus.

The position is based in Amsterdam. Candidates already based in the Netherlands or willing to relocate are welcome to apply.
