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
