Job description

Supporting new product development of high-performance, high-capacity storage AI module for use on aircraft.

The Engineer will contribute to platform by working at the lowest layers of the infrastructure stack - firmware, BIOS/UEFI, bootloaders, and board support packages (BSP).

This work provides the foundation for Linux-based operating systems and higher-level PaaS functionality to run reliably on heterogeneous hardware (x86, ARM, and specialized accelerators).

Key Responsibilities

• Support porting/ configuration of GMSL3 drivers, utilities that depend on this protocol
• Configuration of linux kernel modules
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson family based platforms will be added plus
• Performing checks using an evaluation boardCustomize and maintain BIOS/UEFI to support platform requirements.
• Provide minimal hardware initialization for Linux kernel boot.

BSP & Board Bring-Up

• Develop and integrate Board Support Packages for x86 platforms.
• Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging on evaluation and target hardware.
• Port and configure kernel/device-tree for new boards.

Platform Enablement

• Support integration of Linux-based operating systems on bare metal.
• Ensure compatibility across mixed architectures (ARM, AMD64, accelerators).
• Build bring-up and diagnostic tools for testing firmware and hardware readiness.
• Work with hardware, PaaS, and DevOps teams to align low-level firmware with platform needs.
• Document BIOS/bootloader changes, BSP configurations, and bring-up procedures.
• Provide training, knowledge transfer, and support for internal teams.
• BSPs for supported hardware platforms.
• Firmware validation and bring-up test tools.
• Documentation of initialization sequences, firmware setup, and deployment.

Required Skills & Experience:

• 3-Strong knowledge of Linux kernel boot flow and minimal hardware initialization.
• 5-Experience with BSP development for both x86 architectures.
• 4-Proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems debugging, and low-level programming.
• 5-Familiarity with hardware bring-up using JTAG, serial console, and oscilloscopes.
• 3-Experience with storage devices (eMMC, NVMe, SATA, SD) and root filesystem setup.

Nice to Have:

• 2-Experience with secure boot, TPM, and firmware security practices.
• 2-Familiarity with cloud/edge IaaS environments.
• 2-Knowledge of specialized accelerators, heterogeneous compute, or SoC platforms.
• 2-Exposure to continuous integration for firmware/embedded builds.

Key Responsibilities

• Support porting/ configuration of GMSL3 drivers, utilities that depend on this protocol
• Configuration of linux kernel modules
• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson family based platforms will be added plus

Mandatory skills:

• Linux kernel module programing, Device driver porting and development, C
