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 Title: SoC Embedded SW/Linux Validation Engineer

We are looking for an SoC Validation Engineer with a strong embedded SW background and, more specifically, Linux kernel/driver programming and debug experience. The selected candidate will work on developing validation infrastructure and validation of SoC, developing and debugging embedded C code in bare metal environment. The candidate will also use Linux as a validation vehicle for the SoCs, bringing up and debugging Linux kernel on emulation and silicon platforms to find SoC design issues. The validation will require understanding SoC architecture and design specifications of specific IPs, developing validation test plans working with partner teams such as design/verification/SW, developing validation drivers and test content, executing validation content on emulation and silicon, and debugging failures. The validation drivers and test content may be bare metal and/or OS based (Linux, RTOS).

Job Responsibilities:

Develop and maintain validation infrastructure to support comprehensive SoC validation efforts

Validate SoC functionality using both baremetal and OSbased environments

Plan, develop, execute, and debug SoC functional tests in embedded C code in baremetal environments on both emulation and silicon platforms

Use Linux as a validation vehicle by bringing up and debugging the Linux kernel and select applications on emulation and silicon platforms

Identify, isolate, and debug SoC design issues through lowlevel software and system analysis; Work design and verification teams in root causing the issues.

Gain deep understanding of SoC architectures and IPlevel design specifications

Create detailed validation test plans in collaboration with design, verification, product engineering, and software teams

Support validation across multiple software environments, including baremetal, Linux, and RTOS

Job Qualifications:

  • The candidate must have 12+ experience in the embedded SW and Linux kernel/driver programming.

  • The candidate must have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering.

  • Experienced in Linux kernel builds and Linux ramdisk creation; booting and debugging Linux on emulation and validation platforms.

  • Able to read and understand SoC architecture and design specifications for various IPs.

  • Experienced in C programming language and build environment such as makefiles, compiler flags, and linker scripts.

  • Ability to develop scripts (such as Python) to post-process executable images into platform loadable images (emulation and validation boards).

  • Exposure to assembly level programing (Preferably ARM32/ARM64)

  • Ability to debug SoC using features such as Trace32, TARMAC instruction traces, and waveform traces; Debug skills include development of CMM scripts and ability to recreate test (code) given detailed explanation of a specific failure.

  • Understanding of multi-core environment in an SoC and bus infrastructure.

  • Understanding of interrupt controllers, DMA, GPIO. peripheral understanding useful (UART, I2C, PCIe, etc.)

  • Understanding of SoC low power modes.
