The company is incubated at CIIC & ARAI.

Role Overview:

We are looking for an experienced Embedded Linux Developer to design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux systems using the Yocto Project. The role involves kernel driver development, hardware bring-up, and system-level debugging. You'll collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, firmware, and software teams to deliver robust Linux-based solutions, while also guiding best practices and mentoring junior engineers.

What You'll Do:

• Design, develop, and maintain embedded Linux systems and distributions using the Yocto Project (including build systems, recipes, and layers).
• Develop, debug, and optimize Linux kernel drivers for new hardware components and devices; perform kernel-level integration and device bring-up.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and application teams to define requirements and integrate Linux-based solutions into products.
• Troubleshoot complex system issues (boot, performance, memory, and reliability) using tools like JTAG debuggers, logic analyzers, and network sniffers.
• Manage and optimize the build process using Yocto; maintain custom layers, recipes, and documentation for reproducible builds.
• Participate in code reviews and design reviews, and contribute to an Agile development process with continuous integration and automated testing.
• Mentor junior engineers and share best practices in embedded Linux development.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Proven experience (2+ years) in embedded Linux development, with extensive hands-on use of the Yocto Project to build and customize Linux distributions.
• Strong proficiency in C (and C++)
• Demonstrated experience writing and maintaining Linux kernel drivers and modules.
• Solid understanding of hardware-software integration, device trees, and board support packages (BSP).
• Experience with cross-compilation toolchains, version control (Git), and automated build systems.
• Excellent problem-solving and debugging skills on embedded platforms.
• Strong communication skills and ability to work collaboratively in a team environment.
