Job Description:
Responsibilities:
* Use best-practices, experience, & talents to develop software solutions to support hardware bring-up and verification for a next-generation infotainment and autonomy platform.
* Design, develop, and deploy low-level embedded software and BSP components based on complex hardware schematics and datasheets for Linux-based systems.
* Lead the triage and stabilization of critical high-speed and low-speed interfaces (PCIe Gen4, I2C, Camera, Audio) while implementing security strategies for production-ready builds. Develop robust hardware-in-the-loop automation frameworks to ensure Start of Production (SOP) readiness.
* Collaborate across multiple disciplines to manage complex multi-repo rebases and build systems, delivering quality code and debugging complex hardware-software interface problems with a high level of efficiency and urgency.
Qualification:
* Bachelor"s or Master"s degree in Electrical or Computer Engineering or related field.
* Strong C/C++ programming skills for resource-constrained embedded systems.
* Extensive experience with Linux kernel development, including Device Tree (DTS) configuration and custom driver debugging.
* Expertise in debugging and triaging interface protocols: PCIe (enumeration/stress), I2C, SPI, UART, and Ethernet.
* Advanced proficiency in Python and Pytest for building automated hardware validation frameworks.
* Advanced Git skills, including non-negotiable expertise in complex rebasing, cherry-picking, and patch management across multiple repositories.
* Deep knowledge of Linux internals (process scheduler, memory management, concurrency, synchronization, and subsystem architecture).
* Experience with complex, multi-repo build environments and automated image generation (e.g., Yocto, Android, or custom Make/CMake).
Additional Preferred Skills:
* Experience with high-performance SoC platforms (e.g., NVIDIA Orin, Qualcomm) and automotive peripherals (PMICs, Deserializers).
* Knowledge of multi-threaded and multi-core programming in an ARM-based architecture.
* Experience with POSIX-based embedded systems such as QNX or Android.
* Strong electrical system debugging skills, including the use of electronic test equipment (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) at the hardware level.
* Knowledge of hypervisors, virtualization, and secure boot/key revocation strategies.
* Experience with embedded toolchains, including compilers, linkers, and linker scripts for production-grade software.
