Position Summary We are looking for a passionate and experienced Embedded Linux Engineer to join our Robotics engineering team. You will be responsible for bringing up custom-designed processor boards, developing Linux device drivers, optimizing kernel performance, and ensuring a stable platform for application development. The ideal candidate has a strong "hacker" mindset, loves working close to the metal, and thrives on solving complex hardware-software integration problems.

Key Responsibilities
• Board Bring-Up: Perform initial board bring-up on new, custom-designed processor boards (custom ARM/RISC-V).
• Linux Kernel/BSP Development: Customize, configure, and maintain the Linux kernel, bootloader (U-Boot), and Board Support Package (BSP) for custom hardware.
• Driver Development: Write, debug, and optimize low-level Linux device drivers for on-chip and off-chip peripherals (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, Ethernet, GPIO).
• Device Tree: Develop and maintain Device Tree Source (DTS/DTB) files to map hardware peripherals to Linux drivers.
• System Optimization: Optimize system boot time, memory usage,



and performance on constrained custom hardware.
• Debugging: Troubleshoot complex system crashes, kernel panics, and hardware-software interaction issues using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Build Systems: Create and maintain custom embedded Linux distributions using Yocto Project or Buildroot. Required Skills & Qualifications
•

Education:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
•

Experience:
3-7+ years of skilled experience in embedded Linux software development.
• Languages: Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming for embedded systems; scripting experience in Python or Bash.
• Kernel Knowledge: Deep understanding of Linux kernel internals, including memory management, interrupts, and concurrency management.
• Hardware Familiarity: Ability to read hardware schematics and component datasheets to derive software solutions. Tools: Proficient with Git, GDB, and JTAG debugging tools.
