  • Linux & Yocto OS Architecture: Architect, build, and maintain production-ready Yocto/OpenEmbedded distributions tailored for the Ezurio Nitrogen95 SMARC platform and NXP i.MX 95 family.
  • Application Development: Design and implement C/C++ and Python system applications, background services, and IPC mechanisms running on top of the custom Linux stack.
  • BSP & Hardware Bring-Up: Partner with external BSP vendors and internal EE hardware teams to configure board support packages, device trees, drivers, and peripheral interfaces (PCIe, CAN, USB, Ethernet, WiFi/Bluetooth).
  • System Integration & Optimization: Drive kernel tuning, boot-time optimization, resource management, and hardware acceleration leveraging the i.MX 95 (e.g., NPU, GPU, image processing pipeline).
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Serve as the firmware expert interfacing with Systems, Hardware, Quality, and Product Management to translate system requirements into reliable software designs.

What you’ll need to be successful

MS Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Biomedical Engineering or

related field. Graduate degree preferred.

  • 6-10+ years of experience in Embedded Linux development, Yocto layer management, and system-level firmware architecture.
  • Yocto Mastery: Deep expertise creating and customizing Yocto layers, recipes (bitbake), device tree modifications, and custom image configurations.
  • System Networking & Peripherals: Experience integrating WiFi/Bluetooth modules, IoT communications, and standard buses (SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, Ethernet).
  • Embedded GUIs & Signal Processing: Experience with embedded GUI frameworks (Qt, LVGL) or integrating digital signal processing (DSP)/data pipelines is a strong plus.
  • Core Languages: Proficient in C, C++, and Python for system-level programming and script automation.
  • Experience with designing and implementing sensor-based systems preferred
  • Prefer experience reading hardware schematics and working close to hardware; familiarity with PCB design or signal routing is a strong plus.
  • Strong analytical skills, detail-oriented and collaborative
  • Regulated Industry Experience: Prior background in MedTech/medical devices or safety-critical systems subject to strict quality and regulatory standards is highly desirable.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
