Job Description
Key Responsibility Areas
Internal:
• Designing and maintaining embedded Linux distributions using build systems like Yocto or Buildroot
• Configuring and optimizing the Linux kernel, device trees, bootloaders, and system services.
• Developing middleware components and abstraction layers to expose hardware and system services to higher-level applications.
• Creating and maintaining developer-facing SDKs, APIs, and documentation to support application development on the platform.
• Defining and implementing modular system components for scalability and reuse across product lines.
• Integrating and validating support for various hardware interfaces and peripherals (e.g., I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, USB, etc.).
• Collaborating with hardware, QA, and application teams to bring up new platforms and ensure end-to-end system stability.
• Driving improvements in boot time, system resource usage, and maintainability.
• Participating in system security design including secure boot, encrypted storage, and software update integrity.
• Contributing to internal engineering standards, tools, and CI/CD workflows to support platform development and deployment.
External:
• Arranging technical skills improvement programmes for self and team
• Identify & propose external collaborator (developers/companies) for outsorcing work. Provide clear requirements to identified collaborators.
• For outsourced development, set milestones and deliverables, review the progress and validate the deliverables
• Provide technical support to developers comminity
• Review / Validation of applications from developers community and approving / rejecting them
Educational Qualification: Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic/Computer Engineering
Required Skills:
• Hands-on experience in Embedded Linux development. Strong programming skills in C/C++.
• Proficient with Yocto Project, Buildroot, or custom embedded build systems.
• Solid grasp of Linux system internals, kernel modules, and bootloader customization (e.g., U-Boot). Experience with developing or maintaining middleware interfaces or platform abstraction layers.
• Familiarity with shell scripting, Linux debugging tools (e.g., strace, perf, gdb), and board bring-up practices. Experience building and distributing SDKs or platform APIs for internal or external developers.
• Familiarity with secure boot, encryption, and system hardening in embedded Linux. Exposure to OTA update frameworks (e.g., SWUpdate, RAUC, Mender).
• Understanding of CI/CD pipelines for embedded system integration and release automation. Working knowledge of containerized environments on embedded Linux (Docker, Podman). Excellent communication and documentation skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
• Proactive, ownership-driven mindset with attention to long-term maintainability and scalability.
