Embedded Linux Kernel Engineer

About this role

Join an autonomous driving company's Sensors and System Software team to develop embedded Linux systems for cutting-edge autonomous vehicles. You'll build custom Linux distributions, write device drivers for vehicle-critical sensors and peripherals, and optimize low-latency software for autonomous perception systems.

What you'll do

• Perform board bring-up on new hardware revisions and validate system functionality with hardware engineers
• Build and maintain custom Linux distributions for testing, manufacturing, and production operations
• Write, port, and debug Linux device drivers for cameras, automotive Ethernet, and various peripherals (I2C, SPI, PCIe, GPIO, UART)
• Develop and optimize low-latency userspace software for autonomous vehicle sensors (Camera, LiDAR, Radar, IMU, GNSS)
• Provide technical support and debug cross-disciplinary software and hardware issues
• Support testing and automation tasks using scripting and debugging tools

What they're looking for

• Embedded Linux kernel development and preempt_rt
• C/C++ programming for real-time, safety-critical systems
• Python and Bash scripting for automation and testing
• Linux device driver development
• ARM-based platform experience
• Automotive hardware interfaces (CAN, SPI, I2C, PCIe, Ethernet)
• Hardware debugging tools (oscilloscope, logic analyzers)
• Linux networking and diagnostics
