In this position, you will be an Embedded Linux Software Developer supporting the current IRD embedded retransmission device and its next‑generation replacement platform.

The current IRD solution is a customized Open Wrt‑based embedded Linux device that provides networking and retransmission capabilities. It includes firmware image integration, custom Open Wrt packages and feeds, networking and security services, device configuration, and an administrative user interface. The next‑generation effort is migrating the solution to new embedded hardware while evolving the platform toward a Linux‑based solution.

This is an individual‑contributor role. You will primarily execute assigned development, integration, sustainment, and defect‑resolution work while collaborating with senior engineers and cross‑functional teammates on technical direction, platform architecture, hardware integration, cybersecurity, and release planning.

Responsibilities:

Be part of an awesome team working with cutting‑edge embedded Linux, networking, and device‑management technologies.

Contribute directly to the development, sustainment, and modernization of a mission‑critical embedded retransmission device that is a cornerstone of our product portfolio.

Work across the embedded software lifecycle from Linux image creation and platform integration through networking services, device configuration, web‑based administration, testing, and release support.

Collaborate with software, hardware, cybersecurity, test, systems engineering, and product teams to deliver secure, reliable, and maintainable capabilities.

Help migrate an existing Open Wrt‑based device solution to next‑generation embedded hardware and an Alma Linux‑based architecture.

Design, develop, integrate, test, debug, and maintain Linux‑based software for embedded networking and retransmission devices.

Sustain and enhance the current Open Wrt‑based IRD firmware solution, including image configuration, custom package feeds, services, first‑boot behavior, device configuration, and firmware build integration.

Develop and maintain software in Python, Bash or shell scripting, C or C++, and other languages as needed for embedded applications, automation, tooling, and platform integration.

Execute development tickets supporting migration of existing IRD capabilities to next‑generation ARM‑based hardware.

Assist with boot loader, kernel, board‑support, cross‑compilation, device configuration, and embedded Linux image‑development activities under established technical direction.

Develop and maintain Buildroot‑ and Linux‑based image creation, packaging, provisioning, release, update, and deployment workflows.

Contribute to the evolution of a Linux or RHEL‑based management architecture.

Develop and maintain REST APIs and device‑management user‑interface capabilities used to configure networking and device behavior.

Implement, maintain, and troubleshoot networking capabilities, including interface configuration, routing, DNS, Wi‑Fi, cellular or modem integration, and secure communications.

Create and maintain unit, integration, system, simulation, and hardware‑connected test capabilities.

Participate in Git Lab merge‑request reviews, CI or CD pipeline maintenance, build validation, release engineering, and reproducible‑build practices.

Support secure software development activities, including vulnerability remediation, certificate handling, authentication and authorization, software‑update integrity, dependency management, and CVE analysis.
