**Minimum Qualifications**
+ Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
+ 7+ years of experience in packet processing (e.g., DPDK, TCP reassembly, high-throughput pipelines).
+ Programming experience in C/C++ and experience with P4 or microcode/U-code development.
+ Experience bringing up platforms or ASICs in Linux-based environments.
+ Hands-on experience building or leveraging hardware acceleration with DPUs or NPUs.
**Preferred Qualifications**
+ Experience working with AMD DPUs, Broadcom, Marvell, or Intel data-path hardware.
