About the role

This is a hands-on individual contributor role requiring a generalist capable of navigating system boundaries-from kernel-level debugging to back-end logic and application tailoring.
While our next-generation architecture leverages the Go programming language, candidates with strong fundamental computer science and C/C++ backgrounds are highly encouraged to apply.

System Customization: Lead technical alignment and vertical-specific applications deployment on our production Yocto-based Embedded Linux distribution.
Hardware Integration: Support board bring-up and physical hardware validation using low-level protocols, ensuring seamless mapping from simulation to actual edge devices.
System Architecture: Collaborate across firmware and application boundaries, leveraging containerized runtime architectures (Docker/Podman) for Edge OS environment isolation.
Linux Infrastructure: Solid familiarity with embedded build environments (Yocto Project, recipes, device trees) and low-level system diagnostic tools (GDB, strace, dmesg).

The ideal candidate brings deep experience with Embedded Linux environments and physical hardware validation.
