Senior Embedded Systems / RTOS Troubleshooter

$45 - $50 per hour

TheCorporate LLC

Job Title: Senior Embedded Systems / RTOS Troubleshooter

Duration: 6 months initially, likely extendable

Interview Mode: Phone then Video 

Most Important Requirements

The most important point is that this is NOT a general IT support/help-desk position .

They need a senior embedded systems/RTOS troubleshooting engineer with deep hands-on experience in:

  • VxWorks / RTOS
  • C/C++
  • Wind River Linux
  • Linux kernel / device drivers
  • BSPs (Board Support Packages)
  • Debugging kernel, driver, and hardware issues
  • Stack traces, disassembly, and root-cause analysis
  • GCC / Clang / Diab toolchains
  • Simics / QEMU
  • Reproducing customer environments
  • Troubleshooting complex OS + hardware + networking + virtualization issues

Job Description

This is a Tier-3 / escalation-level technical support engineering role . The engineer will reproduce customer environments, investigate complex embedded/real-time system problems, identify root causes, develop workarounds, and document potential product defects.

The candidate will work heavily with VxWorks and Wind River Linux , debugging at the kernel, driver, BSP, and hardware level . Strong C/C++ programming and debugging knowledge is essential because many issues require reading, analyzing, instrumenting, or modifying C/C++ code.

The engineer will also handle critical customer escalations, communicate directly with customers, create knowledge-base documentation, mentor junior engineers, and coordinate with Support, Product Management, and Engineering .

Nice to Have

  • Wind River product experience
  • Aerospace / defense / telecom / industrial background
  • Kubernetes
  • OpenStack
  • DevOps / cloud / containers
  • Knowledge-base writing
  • Escalation leadership
