Linux BSP Engineer

Overview: We are seeking a highly motivated Embedded Software Developer with 2–5 years of experience in developing embedded Linux systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong foundation in Linux Board Support Package (BSP) development, the Yocto build system, and device driver programming, along with some exposure to microcontroller-level firmware development. This role requires solid logical reasoning, analytical skills, and hands-on debugging abilities.

Key Responsibilities:

● Develop and maintain Linux BSPs for custom embedded hardware platforms.

● Customize and build embedded Linux images using the Yocto Project.

● Develop, integrate, and debug Linux kernel device drivers (I2C, SPI, GPIO, UART, etc.).

● Collaborate with hardware engineers during board bring-up and system integration.

● Write and maintain low-level firmware for microcontroller-based subsystems where required.

● Analyze and troubleshoot issues at the kernel, driver, and application level.

● Work across the full software stack — from bootloader to application layer.

● Follow version control and issue-tracking best practices (e.G., Git, Jira).

Required Skills:

● 3–6 years of hands-on experience in embedded software development.

● Strong expertise in Linux BSP development and Yocto build system.

● Experience in writing and debugging Linux kernel device drivers.

● Familiarity with U-Boot and other embedded bootloaders.

● Exposure to microcontroller firmware development (bare-metal or RTOS-based).

● Proficient in C/C++ programming for embedded systems.

● Strong logical reasoning and analytical problem-solving skills.

● Experience using tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG debuggers.

Preferred Skills:

● Experience with FreeRTOS or a similar RTOS.

● Knowledge of protocols like CAN, USB, Ethernet, and SDIO.

● Understanding of power management, secure boot, and boot time optimization.

● Familiarity with continuous integration, Git, and Agile development practices.

Education:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Engineering, or a related discipline.
