Responsibilities

• Analyze the current system image, hardware platform, and deployment constraints.
• Design and implement a new, stable, maintainable system image based on an up-to-date Linux kernel and supported OS.
• Ensure backward compatibility and smooth transition strategies where necessary.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Network Collector, DevOps) to plan for side-by-side deployment and upgrades.
• Document build procedures and operational guides for the new system image.
• Support planning and validation of an OTA (Over-The-Air) mass upgrade strategy across the existing deployed base.
• Advise on best practices for long-term maintenance and security patching.

Required Skills and Experience

• Proven expertise in embedded Linux system development and maintenance.
• Deep understanding of bootloaders, kernel building, OS image creation, and OTA upgrade mechanisms.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills at system and kernel level.
• Ability to produce clear technical documentation.

Preferred Skills

• Hands-on experience with Ubuntu Core platforms (Core 16, Core 20, Core 22).
• Familiarity with Ubuntu Core system architecture and snap packages.
• Knowledge of the ARM architecture and device-level Linux optimizations.
• Experience working with large-scale, deployed IoT or embedded device fleets.
• Rebuilt and validated system image ready for mass deployment.
• Detailed documentation of the image build process.
• Recommendations for OTA upgrade process and risk mitigation.
• (Optionally) Support during rollout testing and early production phases.

This role is full-time and fully remote, offering flexibility with no requirement to work in sync with the team. The project is expected to last between one and three to four months.
