Key Responsibilities:
- Designing and evolving schemas for ECAD data
- Reverse-engineering and parsing binary and proprietary file formats
- Analyzing performance tradeoffs of algorithms and data structures
- Profiling and optimizing for speed, memory, and parallelism
- Testing from raw file input through to rendered SVG output
- Driving improvements across the parsing stack
- Extending support for new ECAD file formats
- Building backend APIs for design data processing

Required Skills:
- 2+ years in systems-level software development
- Experience with Rust or similar low-level/system languages
- Strong understanding of lexical analysis and parsing
- Proficiency with CI/CD pipelines and automated testing
- Algorithm and data structure design expertise
- Hex editors and binary debugging tools experience
