We are seeking an experienced Yocto Kernel / Embedded Linux Engineer to design, develop, customize, and maintain embedded Linux platforms for our next-generation products. The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in the Yocto Project, Linux kernel customization, BSP development, and low-level system debugging.
Key Responsibilities
• Develop, configure, and optimize Yocto-based Linux distributions for embedded platforms.
• Customize and maintain Linux kernel, including patching, driver integration, and board-specific configuration.
• Create and manage BSP layers, recipes, and meta-layers for various hardware platforms.
• Integrate and maintain device drivers (I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, etc.) and ensure hardware-software compatibility.
• Debug system-level issues using tools such as GDB, strace, perf, ftrace, and kernel logs.
• Support bootloader (U-Boot) configuration, customization, and optimization.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and application teams to ensure seamless system integration.
• Conduct performance tuning, system profiling, and memory optimization for embedded targets.
• Ensure security best practices, including secure boot, trusted execution, and Linux hardening.
• Prepare technical documentation, build instructions, and release notes.
Required Skills & Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 3-8+ years of hands-on experience in embedded Linux development.
• Strong expertise in the Yocto Project, BitBake recipes, layers, and cross-compilation.
• Solid understanding of Linux kernel internals, configuration, customization, and debugging.
• Experience writing or modifying Linux device drivers.
• Proficiency with embedded toolchains, build systems, and version control (Git).
• Experience with bootloaders (U-Boot) and board bring-up.
• Strong knowledge of hardware interfaces (I2C, SPI, GPIO, PCIe, USB, etc.).
• Fluent in C/C++ and shell scripting.
• Hands-on experience with ARM-based or similar embedded architectures.
Preferred / Nice-to-Have Skills
• Experience with Yocto-based CI/CD pipelines.
• Knowledge of real-time patches (PREEMPT_RT).
• Familiarity with virtualization or container technologies (Docker, LXC) for embedded use.
• Exposure to security frameworks (SELinux, AppArmor).
• Understanding of OTA update frameworks (Mender, SWUpdate).
• Knowledge of networking stacks (TCP/IP, IPv6) and protocol debugging.
Soft Skills
• Strong problem-solving and root-cause analysis ability.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work in cross-functional teams.
• Ownership mindset and ability to work independently.
• Strong documentation and organizational skills.
