Embedded Software Engineer - Kernel & Platform

Embedded Software Engineer — Kernel & Platform

We're building a multi-tier autonomous systems platform on NVIDIA Jetson edge devices. We're looking for a kernel-savvy engineer to own the lowest layers of the stack — from board bringup through hardened, high-throughput data paths.

What you'll do

• Bring up new hardware platforms: bootloader, device tree, kernel configuration, drivers, BSP integration
• Develop and maintain Linux kernel modules and drivers for custom hardware (sensors, FPGAs, accelerators)
• Build and harden the platform: secure boot, kernel hardening, attack surface reduction, CIS/STIG alignment
• Design and implement high-throughput video and data streaming pipelines (DMA, zero-copy, GPU/FPGA offload)
• Write C++ user-space services that interact tightly with the kernel and hardware
• Drive FPGA ↔ host integration: PCIe/AXI interfaces, DMA engines, custom protocols, debugging across the boundary

Required

• 5+ years of Linux systems / embedded software experience
• Strong Linux kernel internals: drivers, scheduling, memory, interrupts, DMA
• Hands-on board bringup experience on ARM64 platforms
• Modern C++ (C++17/20) in performance-sensitive user-space code
• FPGA integration experience — PCIe, AXI, or similar high-speed interfaces
• Experience with high-bandwidth video or sensor data pipelines

Nice to have

• NVIDIA Jetson (Orin / Thor): JetPack, L4T, Yocto, CUDA, multimedia stack
• Security hardening: secure boot, TPM, OP-TEE, TrustZone, FIPS, SELinux/AppArmor
• Real-time Linux (PREEMPT_RT), time synchronization (PTP, GPS/PPS)
• Defense or safety-critical software background
