What you need
- 4+ years of professional software engineering with substantial embedded Linux platform, board support, or kernel-adjacent integration work
- Deep understanding of the embedded Linux boot chain: firmware and bootloader stages, UEFI, kernel and initrd, kernel command line, root filesystem mounting, and how each stage fails
- Device tree fluency: reading and modifying DTS, DTSI, and overlays for custom hardware, and connecting a pinout or pinmux specification to the resulting device tree
- Ability to read, patch, and debug kernel and BSP source in C, plus proficiency in Rust or C++ for the userspace services that depend on your platform
- Practical peripheral and bus knowledge across CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, and multi-port Ethernet
- Comfort debugging real hardware: serial consoles, boot logs, dmesg archaeology, and reading schematics and datasheets
Nice to have
- Direct NVIDIA Jetson experience: JetPack, Tegra, Jetson Linux BSP, or flashing and provisioning workflows
- Experience with declarative configuration and reproducible builds
- Experience with secure boot, signed kernels, or measured boot on embedded platforms
- Hardware lab skills: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, bus analyzers, or JTAG
- Upstream Linux kernel contributions
What you get
- Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees
- Highly competitive equity grants included in the majority of full-time offers.
Worth weighing
- No specific salary range provided, only that actual offers may vary based on multiple factors.
- The role involves working with potentially complex and legacy hardware systems, which may require significant troubleshooting and debugging efforts.
- The position requires US person status and eligibility for a security clearance, which may limit the candidate pool.
