Senior Embedded Software Engineer – Linux, SoC, Hardware Integration

Responsibilities

• Bring up embedded Linux on SoCs and custom hardware platforms.
• Build and maintain BSPs, including U-Boot, device trees, kernel configuration, and hardware enablement.
• Integrate FPGA fabric, ASICs, accelerators, PCIe devices, DMA engines, and other custom peripherals.
• Create drivers, user-space interfaces, and hardware abstraction layers for memory-mapped hardware.
• Enable high-throughput, low-latency data movement using DMA, PCIe, AXI or similar interconnects, shared memory, interrupts, and cache-aware buffers.
• Turn register maps and board controls into clean interfaces that application teams can use.
• Work hands‑on with hardware, FPGA, RF, DSP, and application engineers to debug new boards and integration issues.
• Use schematics, datasheets, timing diagrams, and lab tools to solve hardware/software problems.
• Develop bare‑metal or RTOS firmware for microcontrollers as needed.
• Support lab, field, and test‑range validation of cUAS, RF sensor, and multi‑sensor platforms.
• Keep bring‑up notes, driver documentation, integration guides, and test plans clear and current.

• Eligible to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance - U.S. Citizenship required.
• B.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Software Engineering, or related field, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of embedded software experience with custom hardware, SoCs, board bring‑up, or related systems.
• Strong C/C++ for embedded systems; comfortable with Python, Bash, or similar scripting.
• Embedded Linux bring‑up experience on ARM-based SoCs, FPGA SoCs, or heterogeneous platforms.
• BSP experience with U‑Boot or similar bootloaders, device trees, kernel configuration, Yocto, and/or Peta Linux.
• Experience integrating memory‑mapped hardware using Linux drivers, user‑space frameworks, VFIO/UIO, mmap, or similar approaches.
• Working knowledge of DMA, PCIe, AXI or similar buses, interrupts, IPC, IOMMU/SMMU, cache coherency, and physical/virtual addressing.
• Ability to read schematics and troubleshoot hands‑on with hardware designers.
• Clear communicator who documents decisions and works well across engineering disciplines.
