1 Science Environmental Scientist Jobs Hiring Near You

Science is a clinical stage, vertically integrated technology company focused on solving some of neuroscience’s hardest questions and most serious unmet medical needs. We work to restore quality of life to those with debilitating conditions for which there are no treatment options, creating devices aimed at restoring vision, cognition, and mobility to patients who have lost it. To support progress across our industry, we provide state‑of‑the‑art components and vertically integrated infrastructure for others to build on via Science Foundry.

Role Responsibilities Boot, BSP & Build Infrastructure

• Own the SoC BSP integration pipeline: bootloader, firmware, kernel, and userspace builds
• First boot on custom hardware: device tree development, PMIC configuration, power sequencing, flash procedure development
• Maintain build environments, patch systems, kernel config management
• Debug boot failures at every stage: bootloader stages, kernel init, userspace
• Display: MIPI DSI panel driver bringup, init sequences, timing, display subsystem configuration
• Camera: sensor driver bringup (MIPI CSI), ISP pipeline configuration and optimization
• Audio: codec bringup, digital and analog mic path configuration, mixer/DAPM routing
• Connectivity: Bluetooth and WiFi firmware loading and configuration
• IMU and other sensor bringup (I2C/SPI integration)

Power & Performance

• Platform power measurement and optimization: CPU tuning, peripheral power profiling, regulator management
• Battery/charger configuration, suspend/resume, peripheral power gating
• PMIC debug: LDO/SMPS configuration, fault analysis

Characterization, Reliability & Production Readiness

• Reliability testing: long‑duration soak tests, suspend/resume cycling, subsystem crash recovery, watchdog validation
• OTA update infrastructure, factory provisioning, production test support
• Platform characterization: thermal profiling, power consumption across operating modes, sustained‑workload stress testing

Cross‑Functional Debug

• Systematic failure triage: reading crash dumps, correlating timestamps across subsystems, bisecting regressions across BSP and kernel versions
• Board‑level debug in collaboration with EE team: correlating software behavior with bench measurements, power rail issues, fault isolation

Key Qualifications

• 5+ years of embedded Linux development with significant hands‑on SoC platform bringup experience
• Direct experience bringing up custom hardware from a vendor BSP: bootloader, device tree, kernel drivers, flash procedures
• Deep familiarity with multiple SoC subsystems: PMIC, audio codec, connectivity, display, camera
• Kernel driver development and debugging, meaning reading and modifying driver source
• Comfortable with bench‑level debug: UART consoles, JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers
• Strong understanding of common embedded interfaces: MIPI DSI/CSI, I2C, SPI, SPMI, SoundWire or similar

Preferred Qualifications

• Qualcomm SoC experience is strongly preferred: chipcode/BSP integration, CamX/CHI camera pipeline, SDE/MDSS display, SoundWire audio, XBL boot, CDT, DTBO
• Experience shipping a product on custom hardware with custom device trees, custom drivers, and production builds (not just eval board work)
• Both Android (AOSP) and Linux (Ubuntu/Yocto) BSP experience
• Medical device software experience (IEC 62304)
• FPGA/co‑processor integration
