Embedded Linux Firmware Engineer

Role Summary

We are looking for an Embedded Linux Firmware Engineer to support the development of next-generation embedded computing platforms used in high-performance edge and AI-driven environments. The ideal candidate will work on low-level software components including Linux kernel modules, firmware, bootloaders, BIOS/UEFI, and Board Support Packages (BSP), enabling reliable hardware initialization and operating system integration across multiple processor architectures.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, port, and maintain Linux device drivers and kernel modules.
• Configure and optimize Linux kernel components for embedded hardware platforms.
• Support GMSL3 driver integration and related software utilities.
• Customize BIOS/UEFI and bootloader components to meet platform requirements.
• Develop and maintain Board Support Packages (BSP) for embedded x86 and ARM-based systems.
• Perform board bring-up, hardware validation, and platform debugging during product development.
• Configure kernel, device tree, and boot process for new hardware platforms.
• Support Linux operating system integration on custom embedded devices.
• Troubleshoot low-level hardware and firmware issues using debugging tools and interfaces.
• Collaborate with hardware, software, and platform engineering teams to ensure smooth system integration.
• Prepare technical documentation covering firmware configuration, BSP implementation, and board bring-up procedures.
• Participate in firmware validation and support release activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of experience in Embedded Linux development.
• Strong experience in Linux kernel module programming and device driver development.
• Proficiency in C/C++ programming.
• Solid understanding of Linux boot sequence, kernel initialization, and embedded system architecture.
• Experience developing or maintaining Board Support Packages (BSP).
• Hands-on experience with board bring-up and hardware debugging.
• Familiarity with BIOS/UEFI customization and bootloader concepts.
• Experience working with storage interfaces such as eMMC, NVMe, SATA, or SD cards.
• Knowledge of hardware debugging tools including JTAG, serial console, and oscilloscopes.

Preferred Skills

• Experience working with NVIDIA Jetson platforms.
• Familiarity with GMSL3 protocol and driver integration.
• Understanding of firmware security concepts including Secure Boot and TPM.
• Exposure to heterogeneous computing platforms and embedded SoCs.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for embedded software or firmware development.
• Knowledge of cloud-edge or embedded infrastructure platforms is an advantage.
