Senior Embedded Linux Engineer
Job description
Neros is a defense technology company rebuilding America’s drone industrial base. We design and manufacture high-performance unmanned systems that are tested in combat, iterated at startup speed, and built at massive scale. Our team culture is fast, hands-on, and obsessed with closing the gap between design and deployment.
Job responsibilities
- Own our embedded Linux distribution and board support packages (Yocto/Buildroot) — from board bring-up on new compute platforms to safe, reliable field updates
- Own kernel configuration, device drivers, and the bootloader, including secure boot and update/recovery paths
- Design and maintain the common runtime and libraries other teams consume — logging, telemetry, IPC, configuration — and the cross-compile toolchain and SDK
- Bring up new compute platforms: from first power-on to a production-ready OS image
- Set Linux platform best practices and mentor engineers across teams that build on the platform
