Flight Software - Operating System

Associate - Embedded OS Developer

Agnikul Cosmos is a space-tech startup based at IIT Madras, focused on building small satellite launch vehicles. We specialize in fully 3D-printed rocket engines and modular launch systems. Our flagship vehicle, Agnibaan, is designed for flexible, on-demand access to space. In 2024, we achieved a milestone by launching the world’s first single piece 3D-printed rocket engine from India’s only private launchpad. Join us to build the future of global space launch technology from India.

What to expect?

• If you think a kernel crash is just your system’s way of asking for attention, this is for you.
• If you believe writing device drivers is way cooler than building one more app that tells you the weather, this is for you.
• If you find comfort in staring at core dumps and decoding stack traces like it’s a Sunday puzzle, this is definitely for you.

What would you be doing?

• Designing, developing, and maintaining Linux kernel components — including device drivers, subsystems, and kernel modules.
• Optimizing Linux kernel performance and improving overall system efficiency.
• Bringing up support for new hardware platforms within the Linux kernel.
• Debugging and resolving kernel crashes, memory leaks, and performance bottlenecks.
• Collaborating with hardware and system teams to ensure seamless software-hardware integration.

What You Need To Have:

• Deep understanding of Linux kernel internals — memory management, process scheduling, inter-process communication.
• Strong proficiency in C programming, with solid hands-on experience in the Linux environment.
• Practical experience with device driver development (PCI, UART, I2C, SPI, Ethernet, etc.).
• Familiarity with debugging and performance profiling tools (GDB, ftrace, perf).
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, especially in debugging low-level kernel issues.
• Working knowledge of ARM and x86 hardware architectures.
• Excellent communication and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to work independently in a high-paced startup environment

What You Get:

• A front-row seat to India’s space revolution.
• Competitive salary and benefits.
• A workplace where innovation is encouraged and mistakes are seen as learning opportunities.
• A passionate, mission-driven team that loves what they do.
