Job description

We’re looking for a hands-on Embedded Linux Engineer to join our team and help bring our custom SoCs to life. You’ll work closely with chip and AI engineers to design, develop, and scale the SDKs, toolchains, drivers, and benchmarks that make edge AI possible.

Duties:

• Bring up embedded Linux and/or RTOS on new AI SoCs.
• Port device drivers for I/O peripherals and AI accelerators.
• Maintain and evolve build systems, SDKs, and CI/CD toolchains.
• Build out CI for performance benchmarking, HIL testing, and regression.
• Write and maintain technical documentation, user guides, and examples.
• Support internal and external teams deploying the SDK in real-world applications.

Requirements:

• 3–5 years in embedded software, ideally working on SDKs, toolchains, or SoC bring-up

• Strong C/C++, Python, Bash, assembly, and GDB debugging skills

• Experience with GCC toolchains, embedded Linux (incl. DeviceTree), or RTOS (Zephyr, FreeRTOS, MbedOS)

• Hands-on with board-level bring-up, chip-level testing, and embedded driver development

• Familiar with Docker, CI pipelines, and Linux CLI tools
  

You will have an added advantage if you have :

• RISC-V experience, especially in AI/DSP extensions

• Prior work on custom SoC SDKs or contributions to open-source toolchains
