Embedded Software Engineer - Linux

As an Embedded Software Engineer with expertise in Embedded Linux development, you will play a crucial role in designing and implementing robust firmware for embedded systems. Your key responsibilities will include: - Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules, device drivers, and board-specific configurations for embedded systems. - Customize and manage Yocto-based Linux builds, create recipes, and ensure secure, stable system images. - Debug, test, and optimize embedded Linux platforms using tools like GDB, JTAG, and kernel logs. In order to excel in this role, you must meet the following qualifications: - 8+ years of experience in Embedded Linux software development. - Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Computer Science, Embedded Systems, or a related field. Your top skills should include: - Strong understanding of Linux internals such as process management, system calls, and memory management. - Experience with Linux kernel and driver development, including Device Tree configuration, custom kernel modules, and debugging tools like dmesg, strace, gdb. - Proficiency in Yocto Project and build systems: writing .bb recipes, managing layers, and building minimal Linux distributions. - Hands-on experience with peripheral integration, including I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, and devices like audio drivers and IMUs. - Knowledge of secure boot, U-Boot, rootfs customization, and filesystem security techniques (e.g., squashfs, dm-verity). You will be expected to: - Configure, build, and maintain Embedded Linux distributions using Yocto Project. - Design and develop Linux device drivers and kernel modules. - Interface with hardware peripherals and perform board bring-up activities. - Implement power management, bootloader customization, and secure firmware practices. - Perform system-level debugging using GDB, JTAG, and static analysis tools. - Work with DevOps tools like Git, Jenkins/GitLab CI, and containerized build environments. - Document system architecture, kernel changes, and embedded workflows for internal reference.,
