What is a Yocto?

A Yocto job typically refers to a role focused on embedded Linux development using the Yocto Project, an open-source framework for creating custom Linux distributions. Professionals in this role work with BitBake recipes, layers, and metadata to configure and build embedded Linux systems. Responsibilities often include BSP (Board Support Package) development, kernel customization, and optimizing system performance for specific hardware. Experience with cross-compilation, package management, and build automation is essential for success in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the Yocto position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Yocto developer, you need a thorough understanding of embedded Linux systems, build automation, and cross-compilation, often supported by a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or a related field. Familiarity with the Yocto Project build system, bitbake, and source code management tools such as Git is highly valued, as are relevant certifications in embedded systems or Linux. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and a collaborative spirit help you excel in cross-functional teams and address hardware-software integration challenges. These skills ensure you can efficiently build, customize, and maintain reliable embedded Linux distributions critical for complex embedded device projects.

What are the common challenges faced by Yocto developers in their daily work?

Yocto developers often face challenges related to debugging complex build errors, managing custom hardware configurations, and ensuring compatibility across various embedded platforms. Keeping up with frequent updates in upstream libraries and security patches while maintaining custom code requires careful coordination and version control. Working closely with hardware engineers and application developers is essential to align system requirements and resolve integration issues effectively. These challenges offer opportunities to deepen technical expertise and improve troubleshooting skills within the embedded Linux environment.

Job description

At Autonomous Solutions Inc (ASI), we are revolutionizing industries with state-of-the-art autonomous robotics solutions. We deliver technologies that enhance safety, productivity, and efficiency. With our core values of Simplicity, Safety, Transparency, Humility, Attention to Detail, Autonomy and Growth guiding everything we do, we're shaping the future of automation in dynamic markets.
As a System Software Engineer III on the Commercial Landscaping Team, you will bridge the gap between firmware and higher-level robot software. You will maintain the operating system and foundational software that every other system on the robot depends on and write the lower-level abstractions that make the rest of the codebase possible. You will work closely with firmware engineers on CAN-connected microcontrollers, perception engineers processing camera data in real time, and applications engineers streaming telemetry to the cloud. Most of the codebase is Rust, with some C++ and Python. You will be required to regularly spend time on-bot verifying your own changes.
Requirements
  • Maintain and evolve the robot's operating system (Ubuntu and Yocto) and system-level tools.
  • Write and maintain software in Rust, Python, and C++ across the stack.
  • Bridge firmware and higher-level software, translating between the two layers.
  • Build tools that improve fleet observability, stability, and performance at scale.
  • Verify changes directly on-bot and assist other engineering teams in the field.
  • Debug complex, multi-threaded issues across firmware, perception, and application layers.
  • Collaborate daily with firmware, perception, and applications engineers on shared systems.
  • Learn new tools and technologies as the robot platform and fleet grow.

Qualifications
  • 5+ years of experience writing production code in at least one compiled language: Rust, C++, Go, Java, or C.
  • Has built and maintained large, complex software systems over time.
  • Has operated and maintained a complex Linux system in a production environment.
  • Can debug large, multi-threaded, multi-disciplinary software systems.
  • Comfortable engaging with unfamiliar systems to triage and solve deeply technical problems.
  • Willing to spend hands-on time verifying changes directly on real hardware.

Physical Requirements
  • Ability to remain in a stationary position for significant portions of the workday, including computer-based tasks and meetings.
  • Ability to communicate and exchange information clearly and effectively with team members and collaborators.
  • Capacity to analyze complex technical problems and make decisions in a fast-paced environment.
  • Ability to move around a lab, shop, or field environment to verify software changes directly on the robot.

At Autonomous Solutions Inc, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and equitable workplace where all employees and applicants have equal opportunities. We prohibit discrimination and harassment of any kind based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally protected characteristic.
