Candidates should have 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining Linux-based embedded or robotics platforms, with deep knowledge of Ubuntu or Linux systems, including package management, systemd, networking, and kernel configuration. Proficiency in C/C++ and Python is required, along with experience writing or debugging kernel modules and user-space drivers. Hands-on experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2 in a production or research setting is necessary, as is familiarity with common communication buses and protocols like USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, and I2C. A strong grasp of real-time performance tuning, profiling tools, and resource-constrained optimization is essential, along with experience with Git, Docker/OCI containers, and automated build systems. Preferred qualifications include prior work on autonomous vehicles, drones, or other safety-critical robotic systems, experience with ptp4l configurations, v4l2/gstreamer, Nvidia Orin/Jetson platforms, customizing the Linux kernel for real-time patches, knowledge of DDS internals and QoS tuning, familiarity with GPU acceleration frameworks, and experience integrating functional safety libraries and tools. Comfort working in a fast-paced startup environment and supporting field deployments is also preferred.
