Role OverviewWe are seeking a Senior Embedded Linux Platform Engineer to lead the development and maintenance of the embedded software platform powering our next-generation Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This role bridges hardware and application software by owning the Linux platform, Board Support Package (BSP), security architecture, and hardware interfaces that enable our cryptographic applications.
What You Will Do
Develop, maintain, and reproducibly build a Buildroot-based Linux distribution. Customize and maintain Linux kernels for selected System-on-Modules (SoMs). Configure and maintain device trees and board-specific platform definitions.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate has deep experience with embedded Linux, Buildroot, kernel and device-tree configuration, low-level hardware interfaces, secure boot, PCIe, and high-speed networking. The engineer will collaborate closely with hardware, FPGA, security, manufacturing, and application teams to deliver a secure, reliable, production-ready appliance.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Five or more years of professional experience developing embedded Linux systems.
- Strong C programming and debugging skills in resource-constrained or hardware-adjacent environments.
- Hands-on experience with Buildroot or Yocto, Linux kernel configuration, device trees, and cross-compilation toolchains.
- Practical knowledge of the Linux boot process, bootloaders such as U-Boot, root filesystems, kernel modules, and driver integration.
- Experience collaborating across hardware, systems, security, and application engineering disciplines.
- Proficiency with Git and disciplined software configuration-management practices.
Benefits
