Job summary

Trane Technologies is seeking a Linux kernel driver engineer to design, develop, and maintain kernel-mode drivers for high-speed interfaces. You will lead board bring-up and real-time memory management optimizations, working across hardware, firmware, and software teams.

The role requires 3+ years in kernel-level development, strong debugging skills, and hands-on hardware protocol knowledge (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).

Qualifications

• 3+ years of Linux kernel-level development and device driver programming.
• Strong knowledge of Linux kernel internals (scheduler, MMU, DMA, IPC).
• Ability to read datasheets/schematics and read protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN).
• Experience with Git and Yocto Project build systems.

Responsibilities

• Driver Development: Design, develop, and maintain Linux kernel-mode drivers for high-speed interfaces like PCIe, Ethernet, USB 3.x, and MIPI/CSI.
• Board Bring-up: Lead initial hardware bring-up, debugging low-level issues using JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Kernel Customization: Customize and optimize Linux kernel modules, memory management, and interrupt handling for real-time performance.
• Cross-Functional Debugging: Root-cause complex system crashes spanning hardware, firmware, and kernel-space using tools like GDB, KGDB, and Ftrace.
• Optimization: Profile and tune driver performance for power efficiency, memory footprint, and low-latency throughput
