** The Vacancy**##

Position Overview We are seeking a highly skilled Software/Firmware Engineer with a strong emphasis on Linux kernel development, while also being capable of contributing to broader software engineering initiatives. This role will focus on enhancing the Linux kernel, working closely with custom hardware platforms, and supporting general development needs across multiple projects. The ideal candidate is versatile, collaborative, and comfortable working at both low-level kernel and higher-level application layers.##

Key Responsibilities – Linux Kernel Development
• Design, implement, and maintain enhancements to the Linux kernel, including subsystems such as memory management, storage, networking, and device drivers.
• Develop and maintain kernel device tree files for interfacing with custom hardware platforms and SoCs.
• Debug, profile, and optimize kernel modules and low-level system behavior.
• Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to deliver tightly integrated end-to-end solutions.##

Key Responsibilities – General Software/Firmware Engineering
• Design, develop, test, and maintain software applications, embedded components, or internal tools within our technology stack.
• Write clean, efficient, maintainable code following industry best practices and internal coding standards.
• Support various engineering projects when kernel-specific work is not required.
• Participate in design reviews, architecture discussions, and cross-functional technical planning.##

Required Qualifications
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience with the Linux kernel, including development, debugging, or subsystem maintenance.
• Strong understanding of Linux internals:
* Process and memory management
* Kernel synchronization mechanisms
* File systems and block I/O
* Networking stack
* Device driver development
• Proficiency in C and understanding of OS concepts and hardware interaction.
• Familiarity with cross-compilation, embedded Linux, or build systems (Yocto, Buildroot, Make, Kconfig).
• Strong computer science fundamentals.##

Preferred Qualifications
• Knowledge of security-related kernel features (SELinux, seccomp, LSMs).
• Experience with custom hardware platforms or SoCs.
• Experience with relational or No

SQL databases.
• Exposure to board bring-up, BSP development, or embedded diagnostics.

At Megger, we believe in your potential — your ability to learn, grow and contribute in meaningful ways to our success as a leader in test, monitoring and data analytic solutions for the electrical power industry. We believe in giving you the opportunity, accountability, and visibility to do just that so why not see what opportunities we have available.
