Job Description
We are seeking a highly skilled Staff Engineer - Linux Kernel and Device Driver to provide technical leadership for the architecture, development, and optimization of our low-level software stack. This role requires strong expertise in debugging complex system-level issues and performing root-cause analysis across hardware and software layers. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to build robust and scalable solutions for next-generation embedded systems.
Key responsibilities
Design, development, and maintenance of Linux kernel modules and subsystems, with a strong focus on device drivers for a variety of hardware interfaces (e.g., Ethernet, PCIe, USB, I2C, SPI, SGPIO, eSPI, Display).
Own the kernel-level aspects of system integration and board bring-up. Collaborate with hardware and other software teams to define interfaces, debug bring-up issues, and validate functionality.
Employ expert-level debugging skills to diagnose and resolve complex kernel-level issues, including kernel panics, race conditions, and tricky hardware-software interactions.
Partner with hardware and system-level software teams to define requirements, co-design interfaces, and ensure seamless hardware-software integration.
Participate in the broader Linux kernel community, contributing patches, and staying current with evolving kernel development.
Use advanced tools (e.g., ftrace, perf, kdump) to profile the kernel and drivers, and implement improvements for stability and performance.
