Software Development Engineer

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 So CsWork 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 So Cs

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/So CsAbility 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 So Cs 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.
