Embedded systems Engineer

Senior Embedded Software Engineer to join a project building a new generation of vision processing units (VPUs). The role sits between the board support package (BSP) team and the middleware and platform team that builds on it, with the goal of catching integration issues early. Before a BSP release reaches the platform team, the engineer will have run their integration tests against it on real hardware, filed what broke, and worked with both teams on the fix. This is a hands-on, test-first role, becoming the go-to person for questions crossing the boundary between the operating system and the software running on it. The team is very senior, so the company is looking for someone independent who delivers fast and brings opinions on what to focus on next.

Responsibilities

Own the BSP integration test suites in a Python-based integration-test framework; Run them on dedicated test benches and on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) infrastructure, validating every BSP release on real hardware before handover; File, track, and drive to resolution the issues you find; Turn what the platform team needs from the BSP into requirements and tests the BSP team can build against; Troubleshoot on hardware using logs, debuggers, and bus analyzers, bisecting problems across kernel, driver, and user-space layers; Read, debug, and modify Linux sensor and kernel drivers when the fix requires it; Work with both teams to define and implement fixes; Suggest where the team should focus next; Pass on your passion for technology and professionalism to your peers; Be receptive and empathetic with your team and technical communities

Requirements

Demonstrated experience as an embedded software developer on Linux-based products; Strong hands-on experience troubleshooting embedded systems (logs, debuggers, bus analyzers); Use C/C++, Rust, and Python in daily work; Experience with Yocto-based, customizable BSPs: meta-tegra or a comparable layer for NVIDIA Jetson-class compute; Experience reading, debugging, and modifying Linux sensor and kernel drivers; Write tests alongside changes and run them in continuous integration; Work independently, deliver quickly, and propose priorities rather than wait for them; Comfortable in technical discussions with senior engineers and can propose solutions; Solid technical English, spoken and written

Nice to have

Have run CI for embedded targets with hardware-in-the-loop test farms; Have experience with pytest (or similar) and test-report tooling; Have worked with camera, IMU, or other sensor pipelines on embedded Linux; Are familiar with CAN or Ethernet network stacks on embedded systems; Have worked as a liaison between a platform team and the teams that build on it; Have used requirements management tooling and requirement-to-test traceability; Have contributed to open source projects; Are an active member of a tech community or have done public speaking on technical topics
