What you'll do
- Design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux systems and distributions using the Yocto Project (including build systems, recipes, and layers).
- Develop, debug, and optimize Linux kernel drivers for new hardware components and devices; perform kernel-level integration and device bring-up.
- Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and application teams to define requirements and integrate Linux-based solutions into products.
- Troubleshoot complex system issues (boot, performance, memory, and reliability) using tools like JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and network sniffers.
- Manage and optimize the build process using Yocto; maintain custom layers, recipes, and documentation for reproducible builds.
- Participate in code reviews and design reviews, and contribute to an Agile development process with continuous integration and automated testing.
- Mentor junior engineers and share best practices in embedded Linux development.
What they're looking for
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven experience (2+ years) in embedded Linux development, with extensive hands-on use of the Yocto Project to build and customize Linux distributions.
- Strong proficiency in C (and C++) programming, especially for low-level and kernel-space code.
- Demonstrated experience writing and maintaining Linux kernel drivers and modules.
- Solid understanding of hardware-software integration, device trees, and board support packages (BSP).
- Experience with cross-compilation toolchains, version control (Git), and automated build systems.
- Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills on embedded platforms.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
Nice to have
- Experience with ARM (e.g., Cortex-A/R) or other embedded architectures.
- Familiarity with additional open-source tools and frameworks (e.g., Buildroot, Jenkins, Docker, Robot Framework).
- Contributions to open-source projects or community engagement (e.g., patches to Yocto or the Linux kernel).
- Experience with real-time operating system concepts or virtualization on embedded devices.
- Knowledge of networking, security, or other specialized domains relevant to embedded products.
