YOUR ROLE
As an Engineer on the Wind River Linux team, you develop and maintain BSP and Linux kernel components for embedded platforms across ARM and x86. You own well-scoped hardware-enablement and kernel work end to end, bring-up, drivers, device trees, and defect fixes, CVE fixes, working independently on your assignments while learning from senior engineers on the harder cross-layer problems. You write clean, maintainable code, debug real hardware/kernel issues, and grow toward technical ownership of a platform or subsystem.
In your daily job you will:
What You'll Do
Development & Implementation
- Develop and maintain BSP components, device trees, and machine configurations for supported platforms.
- Work on Linux kernel bring-up, driver enablement, and defect fixes; backport patches and CVE fixes into LTS kernels under guidance.
- Support hardware bring-up and validation — bootloader config, kernel boot, peripheral enablement.
- Write high-quality, maintainable code and recipes following team and Yocto/OpenEmbedded conventions.
- Debug and resolve BSP and kernel issues across boot, drivers, and system init.
Technical Growth & Collaboration
- Participate in code reviews and design discussions; take on progressively larger, less-bounded work as you grow.
- Mentor P1 (Associate) engineers on tasks you've mastered.
- Collaborate across a distributed team (US / India); share what you learn through clear documentation.
- Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and retrospectives, and contribute to team process improvements.
BSP / Kernel Specific
- Enable new hardware platforms and processors; configure device trees and hardware abstraction layers.
- Work with hardware vendors' BSPs and reference designs to integrate into the WRLinux Yocto layers.
- Maintain compatibility across hardware platforms and kernel versions; keep recipes and configs current with the release cadence.
- Contribute to platform performance, boot-time, and reliability improvements.
Required Skills
Education & Experience
- Bachelor's in Computer Science, Electronics/Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- 3–5 years of software engineering experience, with 2+ years on embedded systems / embedded Linux.
- Hands-on C in production systems; C++ a plus.
- Solid background in the software development lifecycle on Linux.
Technical Skills
- Strong C programming on Linux.
- Solid understanding of embedded systems and hardware-software interaction.
- Working knowledge of the Linux kernel drivers, device trees, boot flow.
- Experience with a build system — Yocto / OpenEmbedded (strongly preferred), Buildroot, or similar.
- Strong debugging and problem-solving (GDB, kernel logs, serial console; JTAG a plus).
- Git and code-review fluency; Agile/Scrum.
- Python for scripting/automation is a plus.
Nice to Have
- OSS/upstream contribution track record (kernel or Yocto layers).
- Edge-AI inference stacks on embedded silicon (TensorRT, OpenVINO, ONNX Runtime, TF Lite)
