Embedded Linux BSP Developer

Design, develop, integrate, and maintain BSP software for ARM-based embedded platforms.

Develop and debug low-level software components including bootloaders, secure boot features, Linux kernel components, QNX platform components, device trees, and board-level drivers.

Support board bring-up activities, including boot debugging, hardware interface validation, driver integration, and low-level system troubleshooting.

Develop and troubleshoot drivers for interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, CAN/CAN FD, Ethernet, USB, GPIO, eMMC, NAND, NOR, PMIC, and other platform peripherals.

Work with embedded Linux build systems and platform tooling, including Yocto, OpenEmbedded, BitBake, Git-based workflows, Jenkins, Python, and shell scripting.

Support secure boot and embedded security features, including image signing, hardware root of trust, fuse provisioning, key management, and update reliability.

Investigate complex software and hardware issues using boot logs, kernel logs, crash dumps, JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other debugging tools.

Create and maintain software design documentation, participate in design reviews, and support product verification, validation, and release activities.

Collaborate with hardware, software, systems, test, manufacturing, and production teams to resolve issues and deliver reliable embedded software across product generations.
