Embedded Software Engineer - Linux Kernel & Device Driver

Role Overview: You will be responsible for designing, developing, and debugging embedded software in C and C++ for Linux-based systems. Your role will involve working closely with hardware and firmware teams to optimize drivers, kernel modules, and board support packages (BSPs) for next-generation platforms. Additionally, you will be expected to perform system integration, debugging, and collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust embedded solutions. Key Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and debug embedded software in C and C++ for Linux-based systems. - Develop and maintain board support packages (BSPs), bootloaders, and low-level firmware. - Work on real-time performance optimization, memory management, and inter-process communication. - Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules and device drivers for peripherals like I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, USB, PCIe, etc. - Integrate and test drivers on custom hardware platforms. - Analyze kernel crashes, debug hardware/software interactions, and contribute kernel patches. - Perform kernel configuration, cross-compilation, and root filesystem customization. - Use debugging tools such as GDB, JTAG, Lauterbach, ftrace, and perf to diagnose complex issues. - Develop test plans and perform validation of embedded software modules. - Work with multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust embedded solutions. - Write clear and maintainable documentation, including design specs, API guides, and debug notes. - Participate in code reviews and continuous integration activities to ensure software quality. Qualification Required: - Bachelors or Masters degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or related field. - 3-8 years of hands-on experience in embedded software development. - Strong proficiency in Embedded C and C++ (C++11/14/17 preferred). - Deep understanding of Linux Kernel internals, device driver architecture, and hardware-software interaction. - Experience with cross-compilation, build systems (Make, CMake, Yocto, Buildroot), and source control (Git). - Familiarity with ARM architecture, SoC bring-up, and RTOS environments is a plus. - Strong debugging and analytical skills, with the ability to work independently in fast-paced environments. Additional Details of the Company: The company values collaboration and encourages working with hardware engineers for bring-up, debugging, and validation of new boards. You will also be expected to participate in code reviews and continuous integration activities to ensure software quality.,
