Zusammenfassung

Wemolo in Munich seeks an experienced embedded engineer to own the OS foundation and platform layer of our IoT devices. You will design and evolve our Yocto-based Linux image for ARM devices and develop the Python application layer that runs on top of it inside our dockerized main application.

You will work from kernel and driver integration to application features, tackling OTA updates, observability, and debugging memory leaks. A live coding interview is required.

Qualifikationen

• Proven experience in Embedded Linux platform development.
• Strong systems programming skills in a language such as C/C++/Rust/Go/Java.
• Experience with Python development for embedded apps.
• Familiarity with Linux internals, bootloaders, systemd, and Docker.

Aufgaben

• Design, build, and evolve an embedded Linux image (Yocto) for ARM devices.
• Develop Python-based software that runs on top of the Linux platform inside a dockerized main application.
• Bridge system and application layers through Python and Bash.
• Debug memory leaks and system-level issues across kernel, drivers, and applications.
• Own end-to-end platform features including OTA updates, observability, and security.

Jobbeschreibung

This position sits close to the embedded world, but it isn't traditional microcontroller firmware work. You'll own the operating system foundation and platform layer of our IoT devices - building and evolving our next-generation embedded Linux image - and develop the Python application layer that runs on top of it, inside our dockerized main application.

You’ll work down at the OS and hardware boundary while shipping features up in the application layer. Typical areas include:

• Designing and maintaining our Yocto-based Linux distribution for ARM devices with limited compute
• Security on device, inter-process communication, networking, scheduling, observation
• Over-the-air (OTA) updates for both the OS and applications
• Integrating peripherals - watchdog, modem, AI accelerator - and improving their observability
• Bridging the system layer and the application layer through Python and Bash

The work spans from driver- and kernel-level integration in C/C++, to adapting our Linux distribution with Yocto to the underlying hardware layer, to debugging system-level failures such as memory leaks, up to writing the Python software that turns hardware capabilities into product features.

You will be expected to pass a live coding interview for this role.

What to expect

• Embedded Linux Platform: Design, build, and continuously evolve the next generation of our Yocto-based Linux distribution for ARM-powered IoT devices
• Application Development: Develop Python-based software that brings hardware capabilities to life and improves the reliability and performance of our products
• System Integration: Work across the full stack—from kernel and driver integration to application development—connecting hardware, operating system, and product features
• Device Reliability: Build secure, observable, and resilient systems, including OTA updates, networking, process communication, scheduling, and device monitoring
• Debugging & Troubleshooting: Analyze and resolve complex issues across the platform, including kernel, drivers, networking, memory management, and application software
• Ownership: Take end-to-end responsibility for your solutions, proactively improve our platform, and help shape engineering best practices
• Embedded Linux Expertise: Several years of experience developing Embedded Linux systems and confidence working with Linux internals, GNU tools, and Bash
• Engineering Mindset: Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent practical experience
• Yocto Experience: Proven experience building, customizing, and maintaining Linux images using Yocto
• Systems Programming: Strong programming skills in at least one systems language such as C, C++, Rust, Go, or Java
• Python Development: Experience developing Python applications or a strong motivation to make Python your primary development language
• Low-Level Debugging: Hands-on experience with debugging tools such as GDB, tcpdump, Valgrind, UART, and JTAG, including troubleshooting memory leaks and system-level issues
• Operating System Knowledge: Solid understanding of Linux internals, bootloaders, systemd, drivers, kernel concepts, networking, and Docker

Extra points for

• Experience operating large-scale IoT fleets
• Knowledge of industrial hardware, cameras, AI accelerators, modems, or network devices
• Experience with computer vision, edge AI, or machine learning
• Familiarity with MQTT and Protocol Buffers (ProtoBuf)
