About the Role:

We are looking for a highly experienced Senior Embedded Linux Developer with 7 to 10 years of strong expertise in embedded systems development. The ideal candidate will take a leading role in designing, developing, and maintaining robust Linux-based platforms, integrating board support packages (BSP), and contributing to core system-level software architecture for connected devices. This is an exciting opportunity to work on complex and cutting-edge embedded products in a fast-paced, innovation-driven environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of embedded Linux software, including kernel and user-space components.
• Design, implement, and maintain embedded C/C++ applications running on Linux-based systems
• Work with middleware, libraries, and system APIs to integrate and test new features
• Contribute to software architecture discussions and help shape development best practices
• Optimize application performance, memory usage, and responsiveness
• Collaborate with hardware, QA, and product teams to define and implement system-level solutions.
• Drive debugging and performance optimization using tools like GDB, JTAG, and system logs.
• Mentor junior developers and conduct thorough code reviews.
• Contribute to software architecture decisions and continuous process improvement.
• Ensure software quality through test-driven development and adherence to best practices.
• Create and maintain detailed documentation for designs, implementations, and processes.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelors or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electronics, or a related discipline.
• 7–10 years of hands‑on experience in embedded Linux development using C/C++.
• Strong knowledge of Linux kernel internals and device tree configuration.
• Proven experience with ARM-based platforms (e.g., NXP i.MX, TI Sitara, Renesas RZ family, …).
• Proficiency with bootloaders such as U‑Boot and secure boot implementation.
• Solid understanding of hardware-software interfacing and peripheral integration.
• Familiarity with Git, CI/CD pipelines, and Agile development workflows.
• Excellent system‑level debugging, profiling, and performance tuning skills.
• Experience with Linux customization using Yocto or Buildroot.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience in Linux driver development or kernel module programming.
• Exposure to OTA updates, secure firmware upgrade mechanisms, or trusted boot.
• Familiarity with communication protocols like MQTT, CAN, SPI, I2C, etc.
• Understanding of real-time and low-latency system design.
• Experience working on cloud-connected IoT devices or edge platforms.
