We are seeking a seasoned Staff Embedded Linux Developer to architect, design, and implement system-level software for our next-generation embedded platforms. This high-impact role requires deep expertise in Linux kernel internals, BSP customization with the Yocto Project, and hands-on experience with hardware interfaces like PCIe, BIOS, and DDR RAM. The ideal candidate will lead complex debugging efforts, collaborate closely with hardware teams during board bring-up, and drive performance optimization across all system components. In this role, you will
- Lead the design, development, customization, and maintenance of Board Support Packages (BSPs) for various hardware platforms using the Yocto Project build system.
- Configure, build, and optimize the Linux kernel, bootloaders (U-Boot), and root file systems for custom hardware, ensuring system stability and performance.
- Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers for a wide range of hardware interfaces, including PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and USB.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers during initial board bring-up, debugging issues at the register and schematic levels using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Implement and enhance functionalities related to the PCIe subsystem, including DMA, memory management, and interrupt handling.
- Work with BIOS/UEFI configurations and integrate them with the embedded Linux environment as required for specific platforms (e.g., x86 architectures).
- Optimize system performance, boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption for embedded devices.
- Develop and maintain robust CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows for the embedded software stack.
- Create Requirements and Design, conduct code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and develop unit test plans.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded Linux development, with a strong background in system-level programming and board bring-up.
- Deep expertise in the Yocto Project, including custom layer development, recipes (BitBake), and image generation.
- Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded and kernel-level development.
- In-depth knowledge of the Linux kernel internals, memory management, scheduling, and device driver architecture.
- Hands-on experience with debugging tools like GDB, JTAG, Lauterbach, and oscilloscopes.
- Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.
- Familiarity with secure boot, OTA updates, and system security hardening.
- Exposure to open-source contributions and community collaboration practices.
- Knowledge of networking protocols (TCP/IP, UDP) and real-time operating system (RTOS) concepts.
- Knowledge of Telecommunication and/or GNSS domain
