Linux Programmer Jobs in New Jersey (NOW HIRING)

Embedded Linux & Electronics Systems Specialist

Location: Wayne, NJ
Company: Inex Technologies
Employment Type: Full-time, On-Site
Compensation: $75,000–$90,000 per year, based on experience

About the Role

Inex Technologies is seeking a hands-on Embedded Linux & Electronics Systems Specialist to support the testing, configuration, troubleshooting, repair, and deployment of our intelligent vehicle-imaging and edge-computing systems.

This position is a strong fit for someone with experience in embedded Linux, electronics, networking, technical support, hardware testing, field service, or production engineering. While our products include license plate recognition camera systems, prior camera-industry experience is not required. We are looking for someone who can methodically diagnose issues across embedded devices, electronics, power, storage, networking, sensors, enclosures, cabling, and software configuration.

The successful candidate will be comfortable working directly with Linux-based devices and physical equipment. They should be able to move beyond basic resets or reimaging to determine whether an issue is likely caused by embedded storage, power delivery, networking, device configuration, firmware, cabling, optics, environmental exposure, or another hardware-related cause.

This is not primarily a software-development or electrical-design role. It is a practical, hands-on technical role focused on embedded device imaging and recovery, electronics diagnostics, production testing, RMA support, network configuration, and occasional field troubleshooting. The right person will be organized, curious, persistent, and comfortable owning technical issues through resolution or escalation.

Responsibilities

Embedded Linux Imaging and Device Recovery

• Prepare, flash, clone, configure, and validate embedded Linux images for edge devices and camera systems.

• Recover devices experiencing boot, software, configuration, storage, or firmware-related issues.

• Configure device networking, services, users, permissions, logs, startup behavior, and remote-access settings.

• Work with microSD cards, eMMC, SSDs, NVMe storage, and other embedded storage devices.

• Use Linux command-line tools, SSH, system logs, service checks, disk checks, and network diagnostics to troubleshoot devices.

• Maintain organized image files, recovery media, device configuration records, and internal setup procedures.

Electronics Diagnostics, Repair, and RMA Support

• Receive, inspect, test, and evaluate returned embedded systems, cameras, computers, network devices, and related electronic equipment.

• Diagnose whether reported issues are likely related to hardware, embedded software, storage, power, networking, firmware, sensors, camera settings, optics, environmental exposure, or physical damage.

• Perform visual inspections, functional testing, configuration changes, image recovery, storage replacement, cable and connector checks, firmware updates, part swaps, and retesting.

• Use practical diagnostic tools such as multimeters, power supplies, serial/UART connections, network tools, and test equipment as appropriate.

• Identify when equipment can be repaired internally versus when it should be escalated for replacement, factory repair, or engineering review.

• Maintain clear RMA records, including reported symptoms, testing performed, findings, corrective actions, parts used, and final disposition.

• Identify recurring failure patterns and communicate findings to management, operations, and engineering teams.

Production Testing and Quality Support

• Perform final testing of embedded systems and camera assemblies before shipment.

• Verify device operation, image quality, video streams, storage health, embedded software, network connectivity, power behavior, and overall system readiness.

• Follow and improve production test procedures, checklists, troubleshooting workflows, and quality-control documentation.

• Document failed tests, rework needs, component issues, and recurring quality concerns.

• Assist with preparing tested equipment for shipment as needed.

Networking, System Configuration, and Field Support

• Configure IP cameras, embedded devices, PoE equipment, switches, routers, and related network hardware.

• Set IP addresses, subnets, device web interfaces, RTSP/video streams, remote-access settings, and network parameters.

• Troubleshoot common connectivity issues, including IP conflicts, PoE failures, cabling faults, device communication failures, and configuration errors.

• Travel occasionally to customer or partner sites to assist with installation, commissioning, testing, camera aiming, image-quality review, and troubleshooting.

• Document field findings and communicate recommended follow-up actions clearly.

Required Qualifications

• 3+ years of hands-on experience with embedded systems, electronics repair, Linux devices, networking, technical support, production testing, low-voltage systems, field service, or related technical work.

• Practical experience using Linux command-line tools to configure and troubleshoot devices.

• Experience preparing, recovering, testing, or troubleshooting Linux-based devices, storage media, firmware, or embedded systems.

• Working understanding of IP networking, Ethernet, PoE, switches, routers, IP addressing, and device configuration.

• Ability to troubleshoot technical problems methodically and distinguish likely software, storage, power, network, firmware, sensor, and hardware issues.

• Comfort working with electronic assemblies, connectors, cabling, storage devices, enclosures, power components, and other physical hardware.

• Strong attention to detail and ability to document testing, repair activity, and technical findings clearly.

• Valid driver’s license and ability to travel occasionally to customer or partner sites.

Preferred Qualifications

• Degree, certification, or practical experience in electrical engineering, electronics engineering technology, computer engineering, IT, embedded systems, or a related technical field.

• Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, ARM-based Linux devices, Raspberry Pi, industrial computers, edge-computing hardware, or similar embedded platforms.

• Experience with CCTV, IP cameras, machine vision, LPR/ALPR, video systems, access control, IoT, industrial automation, or sensor-based equipment.

• Familiarity with RTSP streams, camera web interfaces, PoE switches, and network configuration tools.

• Experience with basic soldering, multimeters, oscilloscopes, serial/UART access, or electronics repair.

• Familiarity with Bash or Python for simple configuration, testing, automation, or diagnostic tasks.

• Experience with RMA tracking, production testing, technical documentation, quality-control processes, or root-cause analysis.

Personal Qualities

The ideal candidate is:

• Hands-on, practical, and comfortable working with both electronic hardware and Linux-based systems.

• Curious about why a device failed, not just how to reset or replace it.

• Methodical and persistent when troubleshooting unfamiliar technical issues.

• Organized enough to maintain accurate test records, RMA documentation, image versions, and technical procedures.

• Able to work independently while escalating issues appropriately.

• Reliable and adaptable in a small-company environment where priorities may shift between production, support, testing, and field work.
