Trainee Linux Kernel Engineer information

What is the difference between Trainee Linux Kernel Engineer vs Junior Linux Developer?

AspectTrainee Linux Kernel EngineerJunior Linux Developer
Required CredentialsBasic knowledge of Linux, introductory courses, or certificationsBasic programming skills, Linux familiarity, possibly some certifications
Work EnvironmentTraining programs, labs, supervised projectsDevelopment teams, coding environments, collaborative projects
Industry UsageEntry-level role in kernel development teams, research labsEntry-level software development in Linux-based applications

The main difference is that a Trainee Linux Kernel Engineer focuses on learning and assisting with kernel-level development, often in a training setting, while a Junior Linux Developer works on user-space applications and software development within Linux environments. The trainee role emphasizes gaining specialized kernel knowledge, whereas the junior developer role involves broader software tasks.

Job description

Woven by Toyota is enabling Toyota's once-in-a-century transformation into a mobility company. Inspired by a legacy of innovating for the benefit of others, our mission is to challenge the current state of mobility through human-centric innovation - expanding what "mobility" means and how it serves society.

Our work centers on four pillars: AD/ADAS, our autonomous driving and advanced driver assist technologies; Arene, our software development platform for software-defined vehicles; Woven City, a test course for mobility; and Cloud & AI, the digital infrastructure powering our collaborative foundation. Business-critical functions empower these teams to execute, and together, we're working toward one bold goal: a world with zero accidents and enhanced well-being for all.

TEAM
Arene's goal is to open vehicle programming to everyone by simplifying vehicle software development and increasing deployment frequency without compromising safety and security. This will create a whole new market of vehicle application developers who, through software, integrate a vehicle into our daily lives in novel ways. Arene aims to significantly improve how vehicles are designed and developed, and we're working closely with Toyota to realize this goal in its next-generation vehicles.
 
The Arene Tools Engineering team's mission is to streamline software delivery and enhance operational speed in the automotive industry by developing innovative test, emulation, and simulation systems. We aim to facilitate quicker software releases and elevate the overall quality of automotive solutions, maintaining an uncompromised commitment to safety. With the Tools Engineering department, the Test Rigs team delivers vehicle computer hardware emulation  and simulation environments, or "virtual vehicles," to facilitate the "shift-left" approach in software development. This supports automotive software engineers' technical requirements in collaboration with hardware and software suppliers.
 

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

The ideal candidate for this role comes from a strong embedded software engineering background. This individual would have experience working with modern C++, Linux O.S. or Real-Time Operating Systems, and exposure to programming FPGAs using System Verilog.

We are looking for software engineers who are excited to help build a state-of-the-art automotive platform that is "software first". We envision the Arene platform will change the way vehicles are made. Our team is developing tools and systems using modern software techniques, and we need software engineers who excel at building robust software systems to solve challenging problems at scale. 

RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Mentor and coach Software Engineers towards  building production grade software

  • Develop and own software frameworks written in Modern C++ for our in-house runtime API.  This includes middleware components such as scheduling for real-time systems, inter-process communication, and operating system abstractions

  • Leverage experience in FPGA programming to contribute to the enhancements of existing features or new features.

  • Leverage experience to develop solutions with sound design principles, extensibility, maintainability, and safety in mind

  • Set the roadmap by working with Vehicle Integration, Cloud Services, Hardware, Embedded, and Autonomy software teams, and influence strategic decisions within and globally outside the team

  • Be a leader, support best software practices, and mentor junior engineers

  • Use strong triage skills to root-cause issues across a complex software stack, and develop processes to streamline unknown future issues smoothly

  • Develop solutions for software to be run in a CI test environment, with a strong emphasis on automation to prevent regressions 

  • Write clear and comprehensive documents including: proposals, specifications, design documentation, user documentation, tutorials, and post mortems

  • Design and deliver SystemVerilog HDL for automotive test equipment.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science or related field

  • Strong Modern C++ programming and working knowledge of at least one scripting language like Python, Bash, JavaScript, or Ruby

  • Record of building software frameworks that are fast, simple, and error-free

  • Strong background in object oriented programming and writing reusable C++ code

  • Good understanding of inter-process communication, Linux userspace development, and knowledge of Linux kernel development

  • Ability to operate effectively and autonomously across multiple teams, and navigate technical ambiguity with only high level direction

  • Ability to evaluate approaches and choose the best one based on fundamental qualities and supporting data

  • Good communication skills. Ability to explain technical concepts through design documents and reviews

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Experience with electrical and software architectures used in automotive engineering.

  • Insight into real-time, distributed, parallel computing, and low-level hardware

  • Developing safety critical/hard real time applications (aerospace, automotive, robotics, etc.)

  • Familiarity with automotive or embedded processor architectures (ARM/x86)

  • Development experience with either Verilog OR SystemVerilog HDL.
WHAT WE OFFER
We are committed to creating a modern work environment that supports our employees and their loved ones. We offer many options of the best programs to allow you to do your most meaningful work and to help you shape the future of mobility.
Excellent health, wellness, dental and vision coverage
A rewarding 401k program
Flexible vacation policy
