What do we do here:

Develop and maintain next-generation Linux distribution:

• Designing, developing, and maintaining our Yocto based Linux distribution for embedded systems, ensuring high performance, stability, and security.
• Customizing and optimizing the distribution to meet specific hardware and application requirements including the update process.

Kernel Configuration:

• Configuring and optimizing Linux kernels for various embedded platforms.
• Debugging and resolving kernel-level issues, collaborating with the broader development team.

Device Driver Integration:

• Developing, Integrating and optimizing device drivers for various peripherals and hardware components.
• Collaborating with hardware and application engineers to ensure seamless driver integration and functionality.

Board Bring-up:

• Leading the board bring-up process, working closely with hardware engineers to ensure successful system initialization.
• Troubleshoot and resolve hardware and software integration issues during the development phase.

Project coordination:

• Work closely with software developers, firmware engineers, and QA teams to deliver robust and high-quality embedded systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and specifications.
• Create and maintain detailed documentation for BSP development, configuration, and integration processes.
• Document issues, resolutions, and best practices for future reference.

Additional information :

• Tech stack: Linux Kernel and Device Drivers (C), Yocto/OpenEmbedded, Scripting Languages (Python, shell)
• Role consists of development (C or Python) 20-30%, integration 30-40% and project management 40 %
