Job Title: Embedded Software Engineer – Linux Kernel | Bootloader | RDK

Location: Bangalore.

Mode: Full Time

Experience: 3–8 years (adjust based on your requirement).

Budget: Open

Job Summary

We're looking for an experienced Embedded Linux Engineer to join our team working on next-gen broadband/media devices (CPE, gateways, set-top boxes). If you love working close to the metal — kernel, bootloader, and the RDK stack — this one's for you.

Key Responsibilities

* Develop, port, and debug bootloaders (U-Boot) for embedded SoC platforms

* Work on Linux kernel: device drivers, BSP customization, kernel configuration, and upstreaming

* Build and maintain RDK-B / RDK-V stack integration for broadband and video devices

* Debug boot-time issues, kernel panics, and driver-level failures using JTAG/GDB/serial console

* Collaborate with SoC vendors and chipset partners on platform bring-up

* Work with Yocto/Buildroot to build and maintain custom Linux images

* Participate in code reviews, root-causing field issues, and performance optimization

Required Skills

* Strong programming skills in C/C++

* Hands-on experience with Linux kernel internals and device driver development

* Bootloader development experience (U-Boot preferred)

* Working knowledge of the RDK (Reference Design Kit) framework — RDK-B and/or RDK-V

* Experience with ARM-based embedded platforms

* Familiarity with Yocto or Buildroot build systems

* Comfortable with Git, cross-compilation toolchains, and hardware debugging tools

Good to Have

* Experience in broadband CPE, set-top box, or gateway product development

* Exposure to open-source contributions (kernel, U-Boot, RDK community)

* Knowledge of networking protocols (DHCP, WiFi drivers, Ethernet)

* Prior experience with SoC vendors like Broadcom, Qualcomm, or MediaTek
