US_West | Product / System & PLM Engineer_L3

Work Location: Irvine, California (On Site)

Start date: Immediate availability. Background check mandatory.

About the Role

Supporting new product development of high-performance, high-capacity storage AI module for use on aircraft. The Engineer will contribute to the 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).

Responsibilities

• Support porting/configuration of GMSL3 drivers and utilities that depend on this protocol.
• Configure Linux kernel modules.
• Work with NVIDIA Jetson family-based platforms.
• Customize and maintain BIOS/UEFI to support platform requirements, including minimal hardware initialization for Linux kernel boot.
• Develop and integrate Board Support Packages (BSP) 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, ensuring compatibility across mixed architectures (ARM, AMD64, accelerators).
• Build bring-up and diagnostic tools for testing firmware and hardware readiness.
• Collaborate 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.

Requirements

• Strong knowledge of Linux kernel boot flow and minimal hardware initialization.
• Experience with BSP development for 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.
• Device driver porting and development in C.

Nice to Have

• 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.
