We are seeking an experienced and technically strong SoC Infrastructure Software Development Lead to architect and drive the development of foundational software for next-generation System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. This is a hands-on leadership role that focuses on Linux kernel, bootloaders, board support packages (BSPs), and low-level firmware development. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams to enable silicon bring-up and production readiness across a range of embedded products.

Required Qualifications:

• 10+ years of professional experience in embedded Linux development for SoC-based platforms.
• Expertise in:
• Linux kernel internals and driver development
• Bootloader development (U-Boot, Coreboot)
• Device Tree configuration and BSP architecture
• Proficient in C/C++, with scripting skills in Python, Bash, or similar.
• Deep understanding of ARM, RISC-V, or similar SoC architectures; familiarity with Qualcomm, Intel, etc.
• Experience with hardware bring-up, silicon validation, and lab debugging tools.
• Strong understanding of power management frameworks, secure boot, and trusted execution environments (OP-TEE, TrustZone).
• Proven leadership in solving complex HW/SW issues.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with multimedia subsystems: GPU, ISP, camera pipelines.
• Knowledge of virtualization technologies in embedded systems (KVM, Xen).
• Familiarity with RTOS alongside Linux environments.
• Contributions to upstream Linux kernel or open-source projects.
• Experience with Yocto Project, Buildroot, or Qualcomm's build system.
