About the Role

Sightforge is looking for a junior programmer with a strong interest in Linux internals, embedded systems, hardware interfaces, and low-level programming.

The ideal candidate must have completed at least a couple of substantial Linux-based projects, either in college or independently as a hobbyist. These could include Linux device drivers, kernel modules, bootloaders, BIOS experiments, custom Linux builds, embedded Linux systems, board bring-up, or hardware-interface projects.

We are looking for someone who has demonstrated technical curiosity through actual projects, technical articles, open-source contributions, hackathons, or programming competitions.

Responsibilities
- Work on embedded Linux platform development and board bring-up.
- Configure and debug Linux kernels, device trees, bootloaders, and system services.
- Develop or modify Linux device drivers and kernel modules.
- Interface with cameras, sensors, autopilots, and communication peripherals.
- Work with UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, Ethernet, GPIO, CSI, PCIe, and MAVLink.
- Debug boot failures,



kernel issues, communication faults, and hardware-software integration problems.
- Work with Yocto, Buildroot, U-Boot, or similar embedded Linux tools.

Required Profile
- Solid programming fundamentals in C++.
- Good working knowledge of Linux.
- At least two meaningful Linux internals, embedded Linux, firmware, or hardware-related projects.
- Understanding of pointers, memory, processes, threads, interrupts, and computer architecture.
- Basic ability to read hardware block diagrams and schematics.
- Familiarity with shell scripting, Git, Makefiles, and command-line debugging.
- Evidence of self-learning through technical articles, project documentation, GitHub repositories, or open-source work.
- Participation in hackathons, programming contests, systems-programming challenges, or technical build competitions is preferred.

Preferred Exposure
- Linux kernel modules or device drivers.
- BIOS, bo
