• 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

• (Optionally) Support during rollout testing and early production phases.

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