Job DescriptionRole: Linux Device Driver Development Engineer
nRole Overview
nAs a Ubuntu/Yocto Kernel Engineer, you will act as a technical authority for Linux kernel drivers and virtualization enablement on Ubuntu-based platforms. You will shape architecture, solve the hardest system-level problems, and guide platform decisions spanning kernel, firmware, and hardware.
nThis role emphasizes deep technical knowledge rather than people management. You are expected to operate independently across complex problem spaces, unblock multiple teams, and ensure solutions scale from early silicon bring-up through production deployment.
