- 10+ years of experience in Linux kernel development, with a specialization in device drivers. Deep knowledge of Linux kernel internals, including memory management, process scheduling, and concurrency.
- Proficiency in C/C++ and assembly programming for embedded systems.
- Strong experience with Linux kernel, device drivers, and system-level software.
- Proficiency in debugging tools such as GDB, JTAG, Lauterbach, serial consoles, and oscilloscopes.
- Ability to perform root cause analysis for hardware/software interaction issues.
- Hands-on experience with embedded Linux systems, Drivers, Board Support Packages (BSPs), and bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot).
- Familiarity with one or more of the hardware communication protocols like I2C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, SGPIO, eMMC, eSPI, Display, and Ethernet.
- Experience with Yocto Project, Buildroot, and cross-compilation tool chains.
- Experience with Software open-source methodologies for Linux Kernel and related projects is a plus.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills to work effectively with diverse technical teams.
