Description
Windows Driver Development Engineer / Systems Engineer
Position Summary
Sapphire Stream Technology is seeking a skilled Windows Driver Development Engineer / Systems Engineer with strong systems-level debugging and problem-solving capabilities.
This role will focus on resolving issues within Neural Processing Unit (NPU) software programs, enabling new platform-level features, and developing scalable engineering solutions using AI-assisted tools and automation.
Key Responsibilities
Develop, maintain, debug, and optimize Windows device drivers and systems-level software.Investigate and resolve bugs affecting NPU programs, drivers, firmware interfaces, and platform components.Support the enablement, integration, and validation of new platform-level features.Perform root-cause analysis of complex issues involving hardware, drivers, operating systems, and applications.Analyze crash dumps, logs, traces, performance data, and system behavior to identify software defects and integration issues.Work closely with hardware, firmware, operating-system, validation, and application teams to resolve cross-functional technical problems.Develop scalable debugging, testing, and issue-triage solutions using AI, automation, and data-analysis tools.Improve diagnostic utilities, test frameworks, scripts, and engineering workflows.Create technical documentation covering design decisions, debugging findings, resolutions, and feature-enablement procedures.Participate in code reviews, design reviews, defect triage, and release-readiness activities.Required Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.Experience developing or debugging Windows device drivers or systems-level software.Strong programming skills in C and C++.Strong understanding of Windows architecture, kernel-mode development, memory management, interrupts, synchronization, and hardware/software interfaces.Experience with Windows Driver Kit, Visual Studio, WinDbg, crash-dump analysis, ETW, or similar diagnostic tools.Demonstrated ability to perform complex system debugging and root-cause analysis.Experience troubleshooting issues across drivers, firmware, hardware, operating systems, and applications.Ability to design scalable solutions instead of applying only issue-specific fixes.Familiarity with scripting or automation using Python, PowerShell, or similar languages.Strong written and verbal communication skills.Preferred Qualifications
Experience working with NPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators, machine-learning platforms, or other specialized computing hardware.Experience enabling new features on Windows-based hardware platforms.Knowledge of PCIe, ACPI, power management, DMA, memory-mapped I/O, or related platform technologies.Experience with Windows Hardware Lab Kit testing, driver certification, or release validation.Familiarity with AI-assisted debugging, log analysis, defect classification, code generation, or automated root-cause analysis.Experience in semiconductor, embedded-systems, automotive, or high-performance computing environments.Success in This Role
The successful candidate will be able to independently investigate complex platform issues, identify their root causes, implement reliable fixes, and develop reusable AI-assisted solutions that improve debugging and feature-enablement efficiency across multiple programs and platforms.
