Proximity to the Panama City, FL location is preferred for hybrid candidates. Remote candidates must have access to development and testing hardware and maintain consistent communication across teams. Some positions will require access to U.S. National Security information. Positions that require this access will be required to receive and maintain a U.S. government personnel security clearance (PCL). In order to qualify for this position, the candidate must be a US Citizen and either currently possess this National Security eligibility or be able to complete the investigation application process with a favorable determination and maintain that eligibility throughout their employment. ## Description We are seeking an Embedded PetaLinux Software Engineer to build and maintain PetaLinux-based Board Support Packages (BSPs) for the AMD/Xilinx Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC (initially on ZCU102, evolving to custom hardware). The role includes embedded Linux bring-up, device-tree + kernel configuration, and development of user-space applications to control FPGA-attached hardware, stream high-rate data, and record radar data to a PC for analysis and visualization. You'll work closely with FPGA, and systems teams to integrate drivers, validate peripherals, and build reliable data pipelines for development and test. * Create and maintain PetaLinux projects and BSPs: platform bring-up, image generation, kernel configuration, rootfs customization, and packaging. * Integrate hardware handoff artifacts (e.g., XSC), configure boot chain, and support Linux boot on Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC platforms. * Author/maintain device tree changes for custom IP/peripherals; debug peripheral enumeration and Linux subsystem integration. * Maintain reproducible builds (Yocto/PetaLinux layers, versioning, build docs, CI hooks as appropriate). * Support board bring-up and peripheral checkout (GPIO, SPI, UART, Ethernet, DMA, etc.), troubleshooting boot/performance issues. * Implement/modify low-level board support and (as needed) Linux device drivers for custom data paths and control interfaces. * Develop user-space applications (C++) to: * + Configure/control hardware (register access, SPI/UART devices, GPIO, timing, sensors) + Stream data from the MPSoC to a PC (UDP) for visualization and recording + Record high-rate radar products (I/Q maps, metadata) reliably to SSD with indexing and replay support * Build and maintain host-side tools (Windows or Linux) for capture, verification, file conversion, and integration with downstream processing/UI. * Create test utilities and automated validation (unit-tests, bring-up scripts, throughput tests, etc.). * Profile and optimize throughput and CPU usage (zero-copy paths where possible, DMA + buffer management, network tuning). * Collaborate across FPGA/EE/SW to diagnose integration issues and propose architecture improvements. * Performs other duties as assigned. ## Related Videos - [Remote Driving on Plant Grounds with State-of-the-Art Cloud Technologies](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/251-remote-driving-on-plant-grounds-with-state-of-the-art-cloud-technologies) - [Svelte ♥ TypeScript and so will you](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/493-svelte-typescript-and-so-will-you) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [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) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [On tour with heroes == Moving from Angular to WebComponents](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/63-on-tour-with-heroes-moving-from-angular-to-webcomponents) ## Related Articles - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Why Upskilling And Reskilling is Important For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/428-why-upskilling-and-reskilling-is-important-for-developers) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Find a Developer Job: 12 Best Job Sites For Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/165-find-a-developer-job-12-best-job-sites-for-developers) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing)
