Linux Kernel Firmware Engineer information

What is the difference between Linux Kernel Firmware Engineer vs Embedded Software Engineer?

AspectLinux Kernel Firmware EngineerEmbedded Software Engineer
Required CredentialsBachelor's in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering; knowledge of Linux kernel developmentBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related; embedded systems experience
Work EnvironmentDeveloping firmware for Linux-based systems, often in hardware labs or R&D teamsDesigning software for embedded devices like IoT gadgets, automotive systems, or consumer electronics
Industry UsageTelecommunications, consumer electronics, hardware manufacturersAutomotive, IoT, medical devices, consumer electronics

The Linux Kernel Firmware Engineer focuses on developing and maintaining firmware specifically for Linux kernel environments, ensuring hardware compatibility and performance. In contrast, the Embedded Software Engineer works on a broader range of embedded systems, often with real-time constraints and different operating systems. Both roles require embedded programming skills but differ in scope and specific expertise.

Job description

Job Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled Embedded Firmware Engineer to design, develop, and optimize low-level software for advanced embedded systems. This role involves working across the full firmware stack-from bare-metal development to RTOS-based wireless systems-while interfacing closely with hardware to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. The ideal candidate has strong experience in embedded Linux, Zephyr, device drivers, and hardware/firmware integration.

Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for microcontrollers and SoCs

  • Develop and debug firmware on bare-metal and RTOS platforms (e.g., Zephyr)

  • Work with embedded Linux systems, including kernel configuration and user-space applications

  • Implement and optimize hardware drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, ADC/DAC, PCIe, etc.)

  • Develop and validate hardware/firmware interfaces and bring-up new hardware platforms

  • Design and implement low-power management strategies

  • Collaborate with hardware, systems, and software teams

  • Perform board bring-up, debugging, and system validation

  • Troubleshoot system-level issues

  • Contribute to architecture decisions and documentation


Skills/Abilities:

  • Experience with low-power embedded system design preferred

  • Familiarity with bootloaders, secure firmware development, and over-the-air (OTA) update processes preferred

  • Experience with embedded Linux build systems such as Yocto and/or Buildroot preferred

  • Proficiency in Python or other scripting languages for automation and development support preferred

  • Knowledge of wireless communication technologies, including BLE, Wi-Fi, and Cellular connectivity preferred

  • Understanding of applicable safety and cybersecurity standards preferred

  • Demonstrated strong analytical and problem-solving skills

  • Ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams

  • High level of attention to detail and commitment to quality

  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage priorities independently

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Education and Experience:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in relevant field

  • 3+ years of experience in embedded firmware development

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++

  • Experience with embedded Linux, Zephyr RTOS, and bare-metal development

  • Experience writing hardware device drivers

  • Understanding of microcontroller and processor architectures

  • Familiarity with SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, USB, Ethernet

  • Experience with Git and debugging tools

  • Experience in design and optimizing of low-level C/C++ embedded software for GNSS/GPS tracking systems

Physical Requirements (With or without reasonable accommodation):

  • Sitting: Over 70%
