Linux Driver Engineer

We're looking for expert Linux kernel driver engineers to join a major open source silicon bring-up effort. This role focuses on deep, hands-on development of Linux drivers for a brand-new heterogeneous SoC platform, rather than just patching or maintenance. Responsibilities

• Writing and upstreaming Linux kernel drivers for a next-gen SoC (Cortex-A, Cortex-R, Cortex-M + custom accelerators)
• Enabling high-speed peripherals: PCIe, USB 3.x, Ethernet, MIPI, CAN, and more
• Working with a Linux 6.x kernel fork: backports, custom feature integration, and security patching
• Collaborating with silicon, firmware, and platform teams to support bring-up and validation
• Contributing to or navigating upstream subsystems: networking, camera, memory, DMA, AI/ML, etc.

• Proven experience writing Linux kernel drivers-ideally for complex, custom, or high-speed hardware
• Deep understanding of kernel internals: I/O, interrupts, memory management, scheduling
• Experience working with both mainline and custom kernel trees
• Familiarity with upstream Linux development and patch workflows
• Fluent English for technical communication in a remote environment

Nice to Have (Bonus, Not Required)

• Contributions to mainline Linux or other open source projects
• Experience with silicon bring-up or validation
• Familiarity with Yocto, Buildroot, or embedded Linux ecosystems
• Knowledge of IOMMUs, custom SoCs, or hardware accelerators
• Architect real Linux drivers for a brand-new processor
• Upstream-first development-no throwaway vendor hacks
• Work with bleeding-edge hardware and latest kernel releases (6.x)
• Long-term (2+ years), remote (EU), high-impact engineering role
• Compensation well above €100k/year equivalent

This Role Is for You If

You're a seasoned Linux engineer who thrives on low-level, driver-level work and you care about doing it right: upstream, maintainable, and hardware-aware. Ready to go deep with Linux?
