Purpose of the job
Design and develop a robust embedded Linux platform that supports high-performance edge applications. The role focuses on OS customization, middleware development, and efficient inter-process communication, enabling scalable Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) and Edge AI systems.
Job Responsibilities & Duties:
- Customize and maintain embedded Linux systems (bootloader, kernel, root filesystem)
- Develop and manage Yocto/OpenEmbedded build environments and BSP layers
- Design and implement middleware services for modular and service-oriented architectures
- Develop and optimize inter-process communication (IPC) mechanisms (shared memory, sockets, message queues)
- Implement high-performance data pipelines using zero-copy and efficient buffer management techniques
- Integrate communication frameworks (e.g., SOME/IP, DDS, gRPC, or custom protocols)
- Support integration of sensor pipelines (camera, radar, etc.) into the platform
- Analyze and optimize system performance (latency, memory usage, throughput)
- Debug and resolve system-level issues across kernels, drivers, and user space.Deployment on GPUs.
Education
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering or a related field (Master’s is a plus).
Required Experience
- (1-3) years of related experience in software development or autonomous systems
- Hands-on experience with Yocto/OpenEmbedded and BSP customization
- Experience in developing or integrating middleware systems
- Proven experience working on performance-critical or real-time systems
SKILLS AND ABILITIES
