What you will be doing:
  • Working under our professional services division. This allows opportunities to work on a vast array of differing technologies, including Lynx's key products, many additional customer requirements, and open source software.
  • Be an embedded Linux expert (kernel, CPU-architecture, security, general device-drivers, and performance optimization) in the customer engineering team and enable customers in doing their embedded SW development.
    • Design, develop, and refactor real-time software architectures and modular software components.
    • Reproduce, isolate and debug complex low-level problems that may span interfaces between hardware and software.
  • Collaborate with the customer and internal teams to always enhance the overall project experience.
    • Contribute to the overall product design to help customers through various aspects of their product lifecycle.
    • Working closely with the team to ensure the project deadlines are met and risks/issues are proactively identified and communicated to the customer.
    • Ensure high quality of our deliverables.
    • Developing technical proposals to help customers make technical decisions.

  • Perform additional job duties as assigned.

All applicants must have:
  • 3-5+ years of experience building and shipping embedded systems using Linux.

  • Experience with memory managed high performance ARM Cortex-A or X86 architectures and SoCs (NXP, Freescale, Intel, AMD, Xilinx, Altera, ...).
  • Experience with the Linux kernel itself or the kernel of any other operating system with strictly isolated kernel and user spaces.
  • Proven success with root-cause investigation of bugs related to operating systems, hypervisors, or hardware-level drivers.
  • Proficiency in the C programming language
  • Proficiency with Git at a command line level
  • Ability to track and work on multiple projects simultaneously while meeting schedules.
  • Demonstrated experience of leading software projects while providing technical inputs to unblock supporting teams.
  • Keen sense of urgency and drive for results.
  • Ability to work independently with minimal oversight.
  • Over and above, a deep commitment to your own quality work and a strong desire to help the entire team to succeed.
  • Must be a US citizen or US person.

Applicant must have proven, extensive depth of knowledge in one or more of the following categories:
  1. New Linux kernel driver development.

• Must be able to read electrical schematics well enough to understand pin configuration procedures and digital logic levels.
• Must be able to read integrated circuit data sheets and understand register configuration procedures.
• Must understand interrupts and how to appropriately use them to our advantage
• Must understand when and how to appropriately use DMA to our advantage
  1. Operating System core kernel development experience

• Must have experience with scheduling and timing-related mechanisms and issues in any of the OS kernels as described above
• Must have extensive understanding with context switching, preemption, interrupts, timers, and locking mechanisms.
• Must have knowledge of Unix-style file-system data structures (inodes, ...)
• Must have knowledge of page tables and memory management.
• Must have cursory knowledge of assembly level bootstrapping in either ARM or X86 instruction sets.
Nice to have:
