  • Coordinate technical planning activities including requirements definition, task breakdown, dependency management, technical execution tracking, and delivery planning in collaboration with project stakeholders and subject matter experts.
  • Provide technical leadership throughout the full product development lifecycle including architecture, implementation, platform bring-up, system integration, validation, and production readiness.
  • Identify technical risks early and drive mitigation strategies to support successful program execution.
  • Partner with project management and engineering teams to align technical execution with project schedules, integration milestones, and customer delivery commitments.
  • Periodically support customer engagements by responding to technical questions, assisting with issue resolution, and participating in technical customer discussions.

Hands-On Development Responsibilities
  • Develop and maintain Linux BSPs and platform software for custom ARM and FPGA-based embedded systems
  • Customize and optimize Linux boot flows, kernel configuration, device trees, and Yocto-based build systems
  • Implement power management features and optimize the BSP for performance and power efficiency
  • Develop, integrate, and debug Linux device drivers and low-level interfaces including SPI, I2C, UART, PCIe, USB, Ethernet, and DMA, and related peripherals
  • Develop and maintain shared platform infrastructure and low-level system services supporting board management, FPGA configuration, hardware monitoring, clock control, and peripheral integration
  • Troubleshoot complex hardware/software integration and system-level performance issues throughout the product lifecycle
  • Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and software teams to accelerate board bring-up and validate new platform designs
  • Maintain BSP releases including security updates, patch management, feature enhancements, and long-term platform support
  • Contribute to automation, CI/CD workflows, SDK development, and overall platform software quality and maintainability

Requirements
REQUIRED SKILLS
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • 10+ years of experience in embedded Linux, BSP, or low-level systems software development

  • Eligibility to work on Federal contracts requiring U.S. Citizenship

DESIRED SKILLS
  • Experience with virtualization and containerization technologies such as Docker, QEMU, and/or KVM
  • Experience with AMD Xilinx platforms such as Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC or Versal devices
  • Experience with NVIDIA embedded compute platforms such as Jetson modules
  • Experience with embedded device update frameworks, A/B partition update strategies, or reliable field software deployments
