As a Senior Embedded Engineer at Syntech, you will play a key role in driving the development of our industry-leading fuel control and accounting systems. Our embedded platforms are built around Linux, and we leverage the Yocto Project to craft custom Linux distributions that support our Java/OSGi applications and edge devices. At Syntech, we take IoT seriously—and we’re looking for someone who shares that passion, especially when it comes to Linux’s role within that space.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• Design, develop, and maintain custom Embedded Linux distributions for Syntech’s fuel management systems using Yocto Project tools.
• Define and implement robust strategies for system deployment and software updates.
• Develop approaches to meet security and compliance requirements across our systems.
• Contribute to expanding Linux integration across additional devices and product lines.
• Write embedded software in shell script, Python, and C.
• Support software running on hardware that interacts with users and other connected devices.
• Innovate and problem-solve to create effective technical solutions to complex challenges.

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field — or show us why your experience speaks louder than a diploma.
• Requires a consistent and dependable work history, ideally reflecting 3-5 years of tenure with each previous employer.
• Strong experience with Linux, including at least 5 years building and maintaining Linux distributions.
• Proficiency in Python and POSIX shell scripting.
• Comfortable using Git and modern source control workflows.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Able to produce clear, effective documentation — from design specs to code comments.
• A passion for technology, combined with a collaborative and self-driven attitude.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE (a plus, but not required):

• Building custom Linux distributions with Yocto Project tools, or a tool like Buildroot.
• Modifying and configuring U-Boot bootloaders.
• Writing, debugging, or customizing Linux device drivers.
• Integrating and adapting open-source software for embedded platforms.
• IoT security principles and best practices.
• Firmware development for microcontrollers.
• Exposure to RTOS environments (e.g., FreeRTOS, Zephyr).
• Working in Agile/SCRUM teams.
• Familiarity with lab tools like oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
