Sr. Linux Kernel Developer

As a skilled Linux Kernel Senior/Lead Developer, you will be responsible for designing, developing, debugging, and optimizing Linux kernel components, device drivers, and low-level system software. You will collaborate closely with hardware teams, system architects, and software engineers to create reliable and high-performance solutions. Key Responsibilities: - Design, develop, and maintain Linux kernel modules and device drivers. - Analyze and resolve kernel bugs, performance bottlenecks, and system crashes. - Work with upstream kernel communities for patch submission and reviews. - Optimize system-level performance for latency, throughput, and power efficiency. - Integrate and validate kernel-level changes with hardware platforms. - Collaborate with cross-functional teams on system bring-up and debugging. - Participate in code reviews, design discussions, and documentation. Required Qualifications: - Strong proficiency in C and kernel-space programming. - Deep understanding of Linux internals: process management, memory management, scheduling, filesystems, networking stack, etc. - Hands-on experience developing or modifying Linux device drivers. - Familiarity with kernel debugging tools such as GDB, ftrace, perf, crash, etc. - Experience with version control (e.g., Git) and open-source development workflows. - Solid knowledge of OS concepts and hardware/software interfaces. Preferred Qualifications: - Experience contributing to the mainline Linux kernel or other open-source projects. - Knowledge of U-Boot, Yocto, or Buildroot. - Experience with ARM/x86 architecture, embedded Linux systems, or real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT). - Familiarity with virtualization (KVM, Xen), containers (Docker), or security features (SELinux, AppArmor). - Bachelors or masters degree in computer science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.,
