We're focused on an ambitious goal to make generalized robots broadly accessible, enabling households to take back quality time. We have spent the last 18 months building a talented team, securing capital, and validating our technology. We are now seeking passionate individuals to join us in the next phase of our growth. If you are ready to apply your skills to the forefront of robotics innovation, we'd love to hear from you. What to Expect As an Embedded Linux Software Engineer, you'll own platform software for the embedded Linux compute units running our robotics stack. You will collaborate closely with electrical, mechanical, software, and machine-learning teams to integrate our full robotics stack on a new compute. What You'll Do * Own the embedded software stack (bootloader, kernel, devicetree, BSP, and drivers) for compute platforms based on SoCs like NVIDIA Jetson, Qualcomm etc * Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers and userspace integration for sensors, GMSL cameras, displays, storage, and high-speed interconnects (PCIe, USB, MIPI CSI/DSI, Ethernet, CAN) * Own build system and BSP layers using Yocto/Buildroot or vendor SDKs like JetPack * Work with the electrical engineering team to debug and bring up custom carrier boards * Work closely with the software and machine-learning teams to optimize performance across the entire software stack * Design and implement OTA end-to-end using RAUC, Mender, SWUpdate, or equivalent ## Related Videos - [The best of two worlds - Bringing enterprise-grade Linux to the vehicle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/67-the-best-of-two-worlds-bringing-enterprise-grade-linux-to-the-vehicle) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Into the hive of eBPF!](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1199-into-the-hive-of-ebpf) - [Unleashing the Full Potential of the Arm Architecture – Write Once, Deploy Anywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/940-unleashing-the-full-potential-of-the-arm-architecture-write-once-deploy-anywhere) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Gentle Introduction to eBPF](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/789-gentle-introduction-to-ebpf) ## Related Articles - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering)
