We are seeking an experienced Embedded Systems Architect with strong expertise in Linux and Android operating systems, device-level software development, and system integration.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with embedded platforms, virtualization, networking, and edge computing architectures. This role requires strong leadership and mentoring skills, with the ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, global Agile (SAFe /

SCRUM) environment.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect, design, and develop software solutions for embedded systems integrating Linux and Android OS.

• Lead hardware bring-up, provisioning, and commissioning activities for new platforms.

• Develop and integrate device drivers, kernel modules, and hardware abstraction layers.

• Design and optimize storage and file system solutions, including RAID, distributed file systems, and backup mechanisms.

• Architect networking solutions covering Layer 2 and Layer 3 technologies (VLAN, STP, QNQ, LLDP, OSPF, IGMP, BGP, etc.).

• Work with virtualization and containerization technologies (hypervisors, containers, orchestration) across Linux and Android environments.

• Design and implement over-the-air (OTA) update architectures and edge computing solutions, including call-home, A/B partitioning, and CDN-based deployment strategies.

• Collaborate with global cross-functional teams and mentor junior engineers to ensure high-quality deliverables.

 

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• In-depth knowledge of operating system architecture, particularly Linux and Android, including kernel and driver-level development.

• Proven experience in embedded software design and development, including low level programming for microcontrollers, sensors, and hardware interfaces.

• Strong understanding of storage systems (file, block, object storage), data replication, and recovery mechanisms.

• Solid grasp of networking concepts and protocols across OSI layers, with hands-on  implementation experience.

• Experience with virtualization technologies, including hypervisors, containers, and orchestration platforms.

• Experience with hardware bring-up and provisioning for embedded platforms.

• Exposure to OTA update mechanisms, edge computing architectures, and cloud-based delivery solutions.

• Strong leadership, mentoring, and communication skills with the ability to work independently and collaboratively.
