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

Mission Summary:

Motional's onboard autonomous driving system team works at the intersection of software engineering, machine learning, sensors, and hardware compute platforms to evolve Motional's next-generation on-board autonomous driving system. As part of this team, the High Performance Compute Platform team is responsible for Motional's current and next-generation onboard autonomous driving system. If you are a software engineer and love the idea of working on embedded AI hardware and software compute systems to create the next generation of autonomous vehicles, we would love to talk with you. We are hiring in a range of levels, from graduate engineers to Staff engineers.

What You'll Be Doing:

  • Design and develop infrastructure software on various hardware platforms for applications such as vision processing, radar systems, safety monitoring, etc., to be run on self-driving vehicles.
  • Design test harnesses for embedded software components and full systems
  • Provide technical mentorship to engineers.
  • Proactively work with cross-functional engineering teams to solve complex and interesting problems.

What We're Looking For:

  • Experience with creating detailed requirements from use cases.
  • Ability to lead a technical initiative, including breaking down work and guiding other engineers through execution.
  • Experience writing software for embedded platforms in C and C++.
  • Experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD).
  • Experience working on embedded Linux / RTOSs.
  • Experience working with networks (Ethernet, CAN etc.) and the common networking protocols.
  • Experience with debugging on embedded platforms.
  • Experience writing software in Python and experience doing automation with shell scripting.
  • Experience working with ARM Cortex MCUs or Microprocessors.

Bonus Points (not required):

  • Experience working with large data pipelines, and platforms that require deterministic execution.
  • Experience using inter-system communication protocols such as I2C and SPI
  • Experience deploying Machine Learning models.
  • Experience working with GPUs.
  • Experience working directly with the Linux kernel or Device Drivers.
  • Experience with Simulation and Code Generation, and knowing when their use is appropriate.
  • Experience working with Bazel.
  • Experience integrating various sensors, including Cameras, IMUs, Radars, LIDARs.
  • Experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, and/or other ML frameworks. 

We encourage a hybrid schedule with in-office time at one of our locations in Boston, Pittsburgh, or Las Vegas to support collaboration, or this role can be fully remote.
