Architect and develop core platform services including bootloaders, commissioning processes, and over-the-air (OTA) software update systems.
Design and integrate Linux and Android operating systems into embedded hardware platforms.
Develop and optimize device drivers, kernel modules, and hardware abstraction layers.
Define embedded system architectures involving microcontrollers, sensors, and hardware interfaces.
Architect distributed storage systems, including RAID, partitioning, file systems, replication, and backup strategies.
Implement and troubleshoot L2/L3 networking protocols (VLAN, STP, LLDP, IGMP, BGP, etc.) and integrations with tools such as Netman.
Lead edge infrastructure initiatives such as A/B partitioning, call-home capabilities, and CDN integrations for scalable OTA delivery.
Apply virtualization and containerization technologies across Linux and Android platforms, including hypervisors and orchestration tools.
Oversee hardware provisioning, bring-up, and device commissioning processes.
Mentor global development teams in a fast-paced Agile (SAFe/Scrum) environment.

Education & Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
10+ years of experience architecting and building embedded systems leveraging Linux or Android.
Substantial experience in regulated or performance-intensive industries such as automotive, aerospace, defense, or industrial automation.

Preferred Experience:

Deep expertise in embedded software architecture with a focus on system-level performance and reliability.
Strong understanding of storage and networking technologies in distributed, embedded environments.
Proven success designing secure, scalable OTA and edge infrastructure.
Experience balancing hands-on engineering with technical leadership across cross-functional teams.

Why Us:

Shape the architecture of embedded systems that power next-generation devices.
Work across a diverse set of technologies spanning OS integration, networking, storage, and edge infrastructure.
Collaborate with global teams in an environment where innovation and speed are valued.
Opportunity to influence foundational decisions that directly impact large-scale product success.
Compensation: $200,000 – $210,000 DOE
