Senior Embedded Linux Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the BSP for NVIDIA Jetson Thor modules and custom carrier boards, including board bring-up, device tree, pinmux, and peripheral enablement.
• Build and maintain OS images (Linux via Yocto or JetPack/Ubuntu, and/or QNX via QNX SDP) with reproducible, CI-driven builds.
• Tune the OS for real-time and low-latency behavior, including PREEMPT_RT, CPU isolation, IRQ affinity, QNX scheduling and partitioning, and power and thermal profiles.
• Triage lab and field issues such as boot failures, kernel panics, driver regressions, and thermal throttling, and document root causes.
• Define new hardware requirements and review schematics and layout with the hardware team.
• Work with cross-functional engineering teams, including Hardware, Robot Software, QA, Validation, and Manufacturing, to bring up compute hardware from prototype through production.
• Collaborate with validation teams to develop test strategies and test plans. ● Participate in code reviews, design reviews, and pair debugging; help raise the bar for platform quality across the team.

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent practical experience.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience building, debugging, and shipping embedded systems using Linux and/or QNX.
• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson (Thor or Orin) and JetPack, including flashing and carrier board customization.
• Strong OS-level skills: Linux kernel configuration, device tree, driver development and debugging, kernel upgrades or backports.
• Experience with Yocto, Buildroot, or a comparable image build system. ● Solid understanding of the boot process: bootloaders, initramfs, and rootfs layout. ● Proficiency in C/C++;
• Ability to read and interpret system schematics and hardware datasheets. ● Working knowledge of embedded networking protocols such as CAN, EtherCAT, and Ethernet.
• Familiarity with embedded Linux security fundamentals such as secure boot, PKI, and hardware key storage.
• Experience writing and understanding technical specifications.
