Senior Linux Kernel & Embedded System Stability Engineer

XG TECH PTE.LTD.; Santo Niño 1st; On-site; PHP 900,000 - 1,500,000; Full time

Job summary

XG Tech PTE.LTD. is seeking a System Stability and Debug Engineer to design and optimize system-level software for next-generation SoCs, focusing on Linux kernel, RTOS, and driver layers.

The role targets complex stability challenges, including crashes, deadlocks, and memory leaks, ensuring reliable operation for smart vehicle and embedded platforms. Responsibilities include bring-up debugging, kernel and driver analysis, and developing automated tests to verify performance and stability.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electronics, Computer Science, Automation, or related fields.
• Strong understanding of Linux kernel architecture and driver frameworks.
• Proficient in debugging toolchains and stability debugging tools like KASAN, memoryleak, pageowner.
• Experience with real-time online debugging (JTAG/T32) and ramdump analysis.
• Hands-on chip/embedded bring-up, Bootloader porting (LK/U-Boot/UEFI), Linux kernel porting, and driver development.
• Familiar with ARM or RISC-V architectures; automotive/mobile stability is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement underlying stability solutions for chip software systems, resolving critical issues like crashes, deadlocks, memory leaks, and performance degradation.
• Participate in chip bring-up debugging, including Bootloader startup, Linux kernel initialization, and hardware exception troubleshooting.
• Analyze chip-level anomalies (e.g., cache consistency, bus errors) and system-level faults (e.g., scheduling delays, I/O bottlenecks, power management issues), promoting collaborative software-hardware optimization.
• Investigate and resolve Linux kernel and driver layer issues, including scheduling, memory management, file systems, and I/O performance.
• Develop product performance and stability verification plans, implement automated tests (e.g., kernel panic injection, long-term stability frameworks), and enhance system reliability.
• Modify, optimize, and extend Linux/RTOS system-level code to meet feature, performance, and stability requirements.
