Role Overview:

We are looking for a passionate Software Engineer with 3–6 years of experience in Linux kernel development, device drivers, and hardware bring-up. The role offers exposure to the complete system software stack — from bootloaders (Coreboot, ATF) to kernel internals and HSIO subsystems — and provides opportunities to work across pre-silicon validation, post-silicon bring-up, and production flows. This position requires strong debugging skills, ability to read board schematics, and close collaboration with hardware, validation, and global teams.

Key Responsibilities:
Linux Device Driver Development & Debugging

Develop and maintain drivers for HSIO subsystems (PCIe, USB, UFS, Ethernet, etc.)

Work on feature enablement, bug fixing, and performance optimizations

New Hardware Bring-Up

Participate in pre-silicon validation, FPGA/Emulator environments, and first-silicon bring-up

Debug using JTAG, serial consoles, and kernel logging tools

Read and analyze board schematics to support hardware-software integration

Linux Internals & Kernel Subsystems

Contribute to kernel migration and version upgrades for new SoCs

Work with Linux kernel frameworks like power management, interrupt controller (GIC), clock/PLL, memory, and HSIO IP subsystems.

Bootloader & Firmware

Develop, debug, and customize bootloaders (U-Boot, Coreboot, ATF)

Enable low-level initialization and bring-up of SoCs

System Performance & Power

Support power and performance validation activities

Contribute to enabling features like DVFS, Runtime PM, CPUIdle, and suspend/resume

Upstreaming & Collaboration

Prepare and test patches for kernel upstreaming

Collaborate with open-source community and global stakeholders

Required Skills & Experience:

3–6 years of hands-on experience in Linux kernel and device driver development

Strong C programming skills and debugging expertise

Exposure to hardware bring-up on new boards/SoCs

Ability to read and interpret board schematics.

Experience with bootloaders (U-Boot, Coreboot, ATF)

Familiarity with Linux kernel internals (memory management, scheduling, interrupts, device model)

Experience in debugging using JTAG, logic analyzers, or oscilloscopes

Good knowledge of source control systems (Git/Gerrit/GitHub) and kernel patch workflow.

Desirable / Good-to-Have Skills:

Experience with HSIO IPs (PCIe, USB, UFS, Ethernet, etc.)

Contributions to upstream Linux kernel or open-source projects

Exposure to pre-silicon validation environments (FPGA/Emulators)

Familiarity with test automation frameworks (Python, shell scripting).

Soft Skills:

Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

Good communication and teamwork in cross-functional, global teams

Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and take ownership

Why Join Us?

Opportunity to work on cutting-edge SoCs from pre-silicon to post-silicon to production

Hands-on exposure to full software stack (bootloader → kernel → diagnostics → production tools)

Grow into upstreaming, system performance/power optimization, and leadership roles

Work in a collaborative, innovation-driven environment with global teams.
