Job Description

Job Summary

/n

Stenograph is seeking an experienced Embedded Linux Platform & Qt Engineer to join the team building our next-generation embedded writer platform. The selected candidate will own the full device software stack on a Linux-based embedded platform — from board support and kernel-level platform bring-up through the touchscreen application UI built on top of it.

This role requires strong expertise in embedded Linux platform engineering, power management, and shipped Qt Quick/QML application development.

/n

/n

Key Responsibilities

/n

- Own board support package and kernel-level platform work for a Linux-based embedded device:

/n

bootloader, kernel configuration, device tree, driver integration, and build-system authorship.

/n

- Implement and debug power-management behavior including suspend/resume, wireless connectivity

/n

coexistence, and correct interaction with an always-on companion low-power domain.

/n

- Implement secure boot and an A/B (fail-safe, rollback-capable) over-the-air update mechanism for the full software image, coordinated with a companion firmware update path.

/n

- Instrument and support platform power-consumption measurement work feeding a system-level power

/n

budget.

/n

- Design and implement a touchscreen application user interface using a modern declarative UI framework

/n

(Qt Quick/QML), built against a visual design system and interaction specification provided by product

/n

design, including secondary/always-on display behavior and detach/failover states.

/n

- Integrate C++ backend/business logic with the QML UI layer.

/n

- Collaborate with firmware, application, QA,



and program leadership on platform-level integration,

/n

timing/latency budgets, and update/rollback behavior.

/n

- Participate in design and code review across both platform and application layers.

/n

- Utilize contemporary AI-assisted development tools to accelerate platform bring-up, driver integration, and UI

/n

implementation work, while applying independent engineering judgment to verify correctness rather than

/n

trusting generated output at face value.

/n

- Support the product from early architecture through production release.

/n

/n

Required Qualifications

/n

- Bachelor's Degree in Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or

/n

equivalent experience).

/n

- 5+ years of professional embedded Linux development experience.

/n

- Hands-on experience authoring and maintaining embedded Linux build-system layers (e.g., Yocto/Open Embedded or equivalent).

/n

- Experience with a specific SoC family at the board-support level: device tree, bootloader, kernel driver

/n

integration.

/n

- Demonstrated experience debugging kernel-level power management (suspend/resume, low-power states, wireless coexistence).

/n

- Shipped experience building touchscreen or embedded application UIs with Qt Quick/QML on embedded Linux.

/n





- Solid C++ skills and experience integrating C++ logic with a declarative UI layer.

/n

- Demonstrated, hands-on effectiveness with AI-assisted software engineering tools (agentic coding

/n

assistants, AI-based code review), with clear judgment about when to trust generated output and when it

/n

requires independent verification.

/n

- Excellent troubleshooting and debugging skills, including hardware/software boundary issues.

/n

- Experience using Git for version control and standard issue-tracking tools for project/task management.

/n

Preferred Qualifications

/n

- Experience with over-the-air update frameworks (A/B image update systems).

/n

- Experience with heterogeneous multi-processor SoCs (application processor plus a low-power co-processor domain).

/n

- Experience with embedded NPU/AI-accelerator toolchains.

/n

- Prior experience specifically deploying a commercial embedded-Linux/Qt device platform.

/n

- Touch UX craft and familiarity with UI test-automation frameworks.

/n

- Experience working directly from a UX/visual design specification produced by a product designer, with an eye toward minimizing implementation round-trips.

/n

- Experience working in Agile development environments.

/n

/n

Required Skills

/n

- AI-Assisted Software Development

/n

- Embedded Linux (BSP, kernel, device tree)

/n

- Yocto/Open Embedded (or equivalent build system)

/n

- Qt Quick / QML

/n

- C++ (modern standards)

/n

- Power Management & Low-Power Design

/n

- Secure Boot & OTA Update Systems

/n

- Git

/n

- Debugging & Troubleshooting

/n

- Software Design & Architecture
