Embedded Linux Engineer

As an experienced Embedded Linux Developer, your role will involve validating and quality-assuring Yocto based Linux BSP across diverse SoCs such as QCS6490, QRB5165, QCS8550. Your responsibilities will include: - Designing and executing comprehensive test plans - Driving the development of test infrastructure - Collaborating with firmware/kernel teams for robust SoC platform support You will be expected to develop test plans and test cases for system, integration, and regression testing on mobile and IoT-class SoCs, including camera, multimedia, networking, and connectivity. Additionally, you will need to: - Flash and boot Yocto-generated images on hardware evaluation kits - Validate key subsystems such as bootloader, kernel, drivers (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera, display), power management, and real-time functionality Building and maintaining automation frameworks will be crucial, including tasks such as kernel image deployment, logging, instrumentation, hardware reset, and network interfaces. You will also: - Track and report software/hardware defects - Work with cross-functional engineering teams to triage and resolve issues - Analyze system logs, trace output, measure boot/latency, resource utilization, and performance metrics Furthermore, maintaining test infrastructure and CI pipelines for reproducibility and efficiency will be essential. Contribution to documentation, including test reports, acceptance criteria, qualification artifacts, and release skills, is also expected. In terms of technical skills, you should have a strong background in: - C/C++, scripting languages (Python, Bash) - ARM toolchain, cross-compilation, Yocto & BitBake workflows - Building BSPs, flashing images on development boards - Linux kernel internals, drivers, real-time patches - Experience with Qualcomm SoCs or similar ARM platforms Hands-on knowledge of QCS/QRB platforms, multimedia pipelines, GPIO/I2C/SPI interface, multimedia, hardware bring-up, serial consoles, bootloader debugging (U-Boot), Secure boot, OP-TEE/QSEE, root filesystem, GitLab/Jenkins/Buildbot, and hardware-triggered automation is also essential. Additionally, experience with performance analysis and profiling tools, the ability to measure boot time, trace latency, and optimize kernel subsystems would be beneficial. Nice-to-have skills include experience in debugging multimedia subsystems, familiarity with Debian/Ubuntu-based host build environments, knowledge of Qualcomm-specific test tools, and manifest workflows, as well as prior work in IoT/robotics, real-time or safety-critical embedded platforms, and exposure to certification/regulatory testing.,
