Building these devices requires close collaboration between hardware engineers, software engineers, designers, and manufacturing partners, all with a shared focus on creating industry-defining, secure solutions. Design, implement, and ship Windows drivers in Rust, both kernel-mode and user-mode, using and advancing the windows-drivers-rs (WDR) framework, WDF/KMDF/UMDF interop, and safe abstractions over native Windows APIs, applying and extrapolating best practices to reliably build code, following well-established methods while applying best practices for new code development. Apply AI-native development practices by independently using appropriate AI tools and practices across the software development lifecycle in a disciplined manner, taking responsibility for the content of AI-generated designs, code, and other assets, and helping other engineers do the same. Lead discussions for, and own, driver architecture and design decisions with minimal technical oversight, creating proposals and complex design specifications for Rust driver architecture, developing design documents, defining memory-safety boundaries and FFI/interop with existing C/C++ drivers, and ensuring the architecture meets security, performance, and compliance requirements. Drive quality and test automation by independently creating clear plans for testing and assuring quality, adding new tests, removing antiquated tests, and aggregating tests to improve the test suite, continually integrating automation into testing, and applying metrics to drive the quality and stability of code. Own complex debugging and retrospective root-cause analysis: kernel debugging, crash / memory-dump analysis (WinDbg), and ETW/tracing across driver, firmware, and hardware boundaries to identify root causes of problems. Uphold security-as-code, privacy, safety, and accessibility by applying security practices and establishing code invariants so each layer is independently secure, partnering with security stakeholders on threat models and security invariants, and driving the correct processes to achieve a high degree of security, privacy, safety, and accessibility across the driver and services stack. Organize work into an actionable roadmap by breaking work into smaller sets of tasks as part of an overall roadmap, and alerting stakeholders as to status, initiating actions to restore system/product/service for simple and complex problems as appropriate. Partner on hardware/software co-design by collaborating with electrical, system, firmware, and architecture teams (and IHV/OEM partners) to determine requirements and define features for high-volume consumer products.
