Descripción de la vacante

Trener is seeking a senior engineer to own the Linux foundation of our edge robots. You will manage the edge operating system, provisioning, and kernel real-time tuning for devices deployed in factories.

You will collaborate with robotics, AI, and cloud teams to extend our platform to new edge hardware and drive secure, reliable device lifecycle support.

Formación

• Experience configuring and building kernels, device trees, and drivers.
• Proficiency in real-time Linux: PREEMPT_RT, CPU isolation, latency measurement.
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson platforms (L4T).
• Experience with OTA frameworks (Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate, OSTree) and A/B updates.
• Knowledge of secure boot, TPM, and disk encryption on edge devices.
• Experience with industrial networks (EtherCAT, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP).
• Robotics software experience (ROS 2) or containerized edge apps.

Responsabilidades

• Own edge OS layer including Linux root filesystem, base image, kernel configuration, services, and hardening.
• Develop provisioning tooling to configure devices for customer sites.
• Tune real-time performance and kernel for robot control path.
• Integrate hardware interfaces like cameras, grippers, and industrial networks at OS/driver level.
• Manage device lifecycle: updates with rollback, field recovery, enrollment, secure boot.
• Build and maintain embedded Linux images for field devices (Debian/Ubuntu, Yocto, Buildroot).
• Debug boot, kernel, drivers, networking, and performance issues on x86 or ARM.
• Develop tooling in Bash or Python for automation.
• Communicate complex technical decisions clearly in English across time zones.

Descripción del empleo

About Trener

Trener is building the software foundation for a new generation of industrial robotics. We combine advanced AI, intuitive programming, and pre-trained skill models to make robots easier to deploy, operate, and adapt to real-world industrial work. With teams in San Jose and Trondheim, we build software that connects cloud infrastructure, developer platforms, and deployed robotic systems.

About the Role

Our robots are controlled by industrial edge computers at customer sites. You will own the platform layer of those computers: the Linux operating system, how devices are provisioned and updated, and how our software talks to the hardware underneath. Everything that runs on the device builds on your work. You will work closely with our robotics, AI, and cloud engineers, share your low-level expertise across teams, and help bring our software to new edge hardware as our platform grows.

This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Chief Product Officer. You will work closely with our robot software engineers, who build the applications running on the device, and with our cloud engineers, who run the services the devices connect to.

What You Will Own

• Edge operating system: the Linux root filesystem on our edge controllers: base image, kernel configuration, system services, and hardening.

• Provisioning: the tooling and process that turn a bare device into a configured controller ready for a customer site.

• Real-time and kernel: kernel configuration and real-time tuning for the robot control path.

• Hardware interfaces: integrating cameras, grippers, and industrial networks at the OS and driver level.

• Device lifecycle: software updates with rollback, recovery of devices in the field, device enrollment, and secure boot.

• Linux below the application layer. You have built and maintained embedded Linux images for devices in the field (Debian/Ubuntu, Yocto, or Buildroot).

• Debugging down the stack. Boot, kernel, drivers, networking, and performance problems, on x86 or ARM.

• Bash or Python for tooling and automation.

• Clear written communication in English. Technical decisions here are discussed, documented and reviewed in writing, often across time zones.

Experience That Will Help You Succeed

• Configuring and building kernels, device trees, and drivers.

• Real-time Linux: PREEMPT_RT, CPU isolation, and latency measurement.

• NVIDIA Jetson and L4T.

• Over-the-air update frameworks such as Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate, or OSTree, and A/B update schemes.

• Secure boot, TPM, and disk encryption on edge devices.

• Industrial networks such as EtherCAT, PROFINET, or EtherNet/IP.

• Robotics software, ROS 2, or containerized applications on edge devices.

What We Offer

The opportunity to own the Linux foundation of robots running in real factories. A senior technical role with direct influence over our edge platform, reporting to the Chief Product Officer.

A growing international engineering organization with offices in the United States and Norway.
