Job Description
The role involves designing, developing, and maintaining system-level embedded Linux software, including customizing BSPs, optimizing kernel and system performance, and collaborating with hardware teams during board bring-up for Aurora's autonomous vehicle platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Architect, design, and implement system-level software for embedded platforms
- Develop, customize, and maintain Board Support Packages (BSPs) using the Yocto Project
- Configure, build, and optimize Linux kernel, bootloaders, and root file systems for hardware
- Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers for various hardware interfaces
- Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up and debugging at the schematic and register level
- Implement and optimize PCIe subsystem functionalities, including DMA and interrupt handling
- Work with BIOS/UEFI configurations and integrate them with embedded Linux systems
- Optimize system performance, boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption
- Develop and maintain CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows for embedded software
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
- Minimum of 8 years of hands-on experience in embedded Linux development, with a strong background in system-level programming and board bring-up.
- Deep expertise in the Yocto Project, including custom layer development, recipes BitBake, and image generation.
- Strong proficiency in C and C++ programming for embedded and kernel-level development.
- In-depth knowledge of the Linux kernel internals, including memory management, scheduling, and device driver architecture.
- Hands-on experience with debugging tools such as GDB, JTAG, Lauterbach, and oscilloscopes.
- Experience configuring, building, and optimizing the Linux kernel, bootloaders (U-Boot), and root file systems for custom hardware to ensure system stability and performance.
- Experience developing, porting, and debugging Linux device drivers for hardware interfaces including PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and USB.
- Experience collaborating with hardware engineers during initial board bring-up and debugging issues at the register and schematic levels.
- Experience implementing and enhancing functionalities related to the PCIe subsystem, including DMA, memory management, and interrupt handling.
- Experience working with BIOS UEFI configurations and integrating them with embedded Linux environments, especially for platforms such as x86 architectures.
- Ability to optimize system performance, boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption for embedded devices.
- Experience developing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows for embedded software.
- Ability to create requirements and design documents, conduct code reviews, mentor junior engineers, and develop unit test plans.
