Job Description
The role involves designing, developing, and maintaining system-level embedded Linux software, including kernel customization, device driver development, and hardware integration for next-generation embedded platforms in a self-driving technology environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Design, develop, customize, and maintain Board Support Packages (BSPs) for various hardware platforms using the Yocto Project.
- Configure, build, and optimize the Linux kernel, bootloaders (U-Boot), and root file systems for custom hardware.
- Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers for hardware interfaces such as PCIe, DDR, Ethernet, I2C, SPI, and USB.
- Collaborate with hardware engineers during initial board bring-up and debug issues using tools like JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
- Implement and enhance functionalities related to PCIe subsystem, including DMA, memory management, and interrupt handling.
- Work with BIOS/UEFI configurations and integrate them with embedded Linux environments for specific platforms.
- Optimize system performance, boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption of embedded devices.
- 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 in 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.
- Ability to collaborate with hardware engineers during initial board bring-up, debugging issues at the register and schematic levels.
- Experience working with BIOS UEFI configurations and integrating them with embedded Linux environments, especially for platforms such as x86 architectures.
- Ability to lead complex debugging efforts and drive performance optimization across system components, including system performance, boot time, memory footprint, and power consumption.
- Experience developing and maintaining robust CI/CD pipelines and automated testing workflows for embedded software.
- Experience creating requirements and design documents, conducting code reviews, mentoring junior engineers, and developing unit test plans.
