Overview

We’re looking for an experienced Embedded Linux Engineer with 3–10 years of experience to support development and integration of embedded Linux software for IP-based audio systems, speakers, intercom devices, emergency notification systems, and networked embedded endpoints. This role focuses on Linux application development, platform integration, and support for Yocto/Open Embedded‑based image builds under the guidance of the Embedded Firmware Lead / Manager and senior engineers. This position is suited for engineers building a strong foundation in embedded Linux while contributing to real products deployed in industrial and safety‑oriented environments.

Key Responsibilities

Embedded Linux Software Development

• Develop and maintain embedded Linux application features in C/C++ for connected devices used in communication and control product lines.
• Support implementation of Linux user‑space software involving configuration handling, service behaviour, logging, diagnostics, basic networking, device interaction.
• Assist with software integration into target Linux images and test environments.

Yocto / Build Support

• Assist in Yocto / OpenEmbedded build activities including image builds, package inclusion, basic recipe updates, troubleshooting of common build issues.
• Support software deployment to target hardware and help validate integrated images.
• Work with senior engineers to understand build dependencies, package flows, and release packaging basics.

Debugging & Validation

• Assist with debugging, issue reproduction, smoke testing, and validation on development boards and product prototypes.
• Investigate software issues using serial console output, logs, shell tools, basic Linux debugging methods.
• Support defect fixing and verification in collaboration with senior team members.

Networking & Device Support

• Support software features needed for network‑connected embedded products.
• Assist with implementation or validation of basic connectivity, telemetry, diagnostics, remote configuration, and software update features.
• Work with hardware and QA teams to verify product behaviour on integrated systems.

Engineering Process & Collaboration

• Follow coding standards, review feedback, documentation expectations, and version control practices defined by the team.
• Participate in bug fixing, release support, and sustaining activities for shipped products.
• Collaborate with Linux, firmware, hardware, and test engineers in a structured product development environment.
