Embedded Software Engineer Linux Kernel & Device Drivers (C/C++)

As an Embedded Software Engineer with 3-8 years of experience, you will have the opportunity to work on cutting-edge technologies and contribute to the development of next-generation platforms. Your responsibilities will include: - **Embedded Software Development** - 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. - **Linux Kernel & Device Driver Development** - Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules and device drivers for various peripherals (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 when required. - Collaborate with hardware engineers for bring-up, debugging, and validation of new boards. - **System Integration & Debugging** - 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. - **Collaboration & Documentation** - Work with multidisciplinary teams (hardware, firmware, QA) 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. **Qualifications 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. If you possess exposure to Yocto Project, U-Boot, and bootloader customization, knowledge of network stack, USB, or multimedia subsystem development, experience with embedded Linux distributions or open-source contributions, or understanding of hardware schematics and signal analysis (oscilloscope, logic analyzer), it would be considered a plus.
