  • Eligibility to work in the U.S.
Preferred
  • 5+ years of professional experience in embedded Linux systems development.
  • Experience with custom PCB bring‑up and low‑level hardware debugging.
  • Familiarity with sensor initialization via I2C/SPI/CANBUS and power sequencing.
  • Experience with camera tuning (gain, exposure, white balance) or GStreamer pipelines.
  • Proficiency with Yocto or Buildroot for embedded Linux build automation.
  • Experience with JTAG/SWD debuggers, bootloader recovery, or automated hardware tests.
  • Knowledge of edge AI model deployment.
  • Familiarity with USB SuperSpeed, Linux gadget drivers, and PCIe peripherals.
