Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Motorola Mobility, a Lenovo Company, is seeking an Advisory Software Engineer with a strong Rust background to join their AI Technology Center. The role involves building reusable AI components and collaborating with senior engineering leadership on architecture and technical decisions in a high-ownership engineering culture.
Responsibilities
- Runtime Collaboration: Partner closely with model and runtime engineers to align dataset design with inference pipelines, orchestration frameworks, and execution environments across device and backend systems
- Reusable Systems Design (Rust): Design and build modular, reusable Rust components (crates, libraries, services) using strong typing, trait-based abstractions, and clear interface boundaries to support on-device AI runtimes and hybrid agent orchestration
- High-Performance Runtime Development: Implement low-latency, memory-efficient runtime components leveraging idiomatic Rust patterns (ownership, borrowing, async/await with tokio), ensuring safe concurrency and predictable execution in constrained environments
- API & Interface Design: Define clean, strongly-typed APIs and contracts (avoiding unsafe patterns like void pointers or untyped interfaces), enabling composability and long-term maintainability across runtime and backend systems
- Cross-Platform & Edge Optimization: Build portable Rust applications that run efficiently across edge devices and backend systems, optimizing for binary size, startup time, and resource utilization
- Observability & Reliability: Integrate structured logging, metrics, and tracing (e.g., tracing crate) into runtime components to ensure visibility into system behavior and support debugging and performance tuning
- Runtime Integration & Orchestration: Develop integration layers for hybrid agent orchestration, including async task coordination, plugin-like extensibility, and safe interaction across system boundaries (e.g., FFI, IPC, or service interfaces)
- Cross Functional Collaboration: Work closely with other teams including developers, product teams and business leaders to understand their data requirements, and roadmap engineering tasks in project management software
- Documentation: Create and maintain clear and concise documentation for data pipelines, data quality checks, and data governance procedures
- On Device Edge AI Deployment: Running on device machine learning models for applications using common runtimes (ONNX, LiteRT, Etc)
Skills
- Education: Bachelor's in Computer Science, or a related field
- Experience: 8+ years of experience in a software engineering roles
- Programming Skills: Mastery in Rust with proficiency in other languages as require ( e.g. C++, Python, Kotlin, Java, terraform, SQL, etc)
- Communication Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences
- Leadership Experience: Strong prior experience leading teams of cross functional engineers in an Agile environment
- Located near Morrisville North Carolina in the RTP. Open to fully remote candidates
- Experience with developing cross platform applications for Android & Windows
- Experience with AWS & cloud native application development
- Platform engineering expertise developing production platforms at scale
- Experience implementing OpenTelemetry and observability tools
