Embedded SW Engineer

Role Overview

Supporting new product development of high-performance, high-capacity storage AI module for use on aircraft. The Engineer will contribute to platform by working at the lowest layers of the infrastructure stack — firmware, BIOS/UEFI, bootloaders, and board support packages (BSP). This work provides the foundation for Linux-based operating systems and higher-level PaaS functionality to run reliably on heterogeneous hardware (x86, ARM, and specialized accelerators).

Key Responsibilities

• Support porting/configuration of GMSL3 drivers, utilities that depend on this protocol
• Configuration of linux kernel modules
• Performing checks using an evaluation board
• Customize and maintain BIOS/UEFI to support platform requirements. Provide minimal hardware initialization for Linux kernel boot.
• Develop and integrate Board Support Packages for x86 platforms. Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging on evaluation and target hardware. Port and configure kernel/device-tree for new boards.
• Support integration of Linux-based operating systems on bare metal. Ensure compatibility across mixed architectures (ARM, AMD64, accelerators). Build bring-up and diagnostic tools for testing firmware and hardware readiness.
• Work with hardware, PaaS, and DevOps teams to align low-level firmware with platform needs. Document BIOS/bootloader changes, BSP configurations, and bring-up procedures. Provide training, knowledge transfer, and support for internal teams.

Deliverables

• BSPs for supported hardware platforms
• Firmware validation and bring-up test tools
• Documentation of initialization sequences, firmware setup, and deployment

Required Skills & Experience

• Strong knowledge of Linux kernel boot flow and minimal hardware initialization
• Experience with BSP development for both x86 architectures
• Proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems debugging, and low-level programming
• Familiarity with hardware bring-up using JTAG, serial console, and oscilloscopes
• Experience with storage devices (eMMC, NVMe, SATA, SD) and root filesystem setup
• Linux kernel module programming, device driver porting and development

Preferred/Nice to Have

• Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson family based platforms
• Experience with secure boot, TPM, and firmware security practices
• Familiarity with cloud/edge IaaS environments
• Knowledge of specialized accelerators, heterogeneous compute, or SoC platforms
• Exposure to continuous integration for firmware/embedded builds
