Job description

Job Description: Supporting new product development of high-performance, high-capacity storage AI module for use on aircraft. The Engineer will contribute to platform by working at the lowest layers of the infrastructure stack - firmware, BIOS/UEFI, bootloaders, and board support packages (BSP). This work provides the foundation for Linux-based operating systems and higher-level PaaS functionality to run reliably on heterogeneous hardware (x86, ARM, and specialized accelerators)., * Support porting/ configuration of GMSL3 drivers, utilities that depend on this protocol

Configuration of linux kernel modules
Familiarity with NVIDIA Jetson family based platforms will be added plus

Performing checks using an evaluation board

Customize and maintain BIOS/UEFI to support platform requirements.
Provide minimal hardware initialization for Linux kernel boot.

BSP & Board Bring-Up

Develop and integrate Board Support Packages for x86 platforms.
Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging on evaluation and target hardware.
Port and configure kernel/device-tree for new boards.

Platform Enablement

Support integration of Linux-based operating systems on bare metal.
Ensure compatibility across mixed architectures (ARM, AMD64, accelerators).
Build bring-up and diagnostic tools for testing firmware and hardware readiness.

Collaboration & Documentation

Work with hardware, PaaS, and DevOps teams to align low-level firmware with platform needs.
Document BIOS/bootloader changes, BSP configurations, and bring-up procedures.
Provide training, knowledge transfer, and support for internal teams.

Deliverables

BSPs for supported hardware platforms.
Firmware validation and bring-up test tools.
Documentation of initialization sequences, firmware setup, and deployment.

Requirements

3-Strong knowledge of Linux kernel boot flow and minimal hardware initialization.
5-Experience with BSP development for both x86 architectures.
4-Proficiency in C/C++, embedded systems debugging, and low-level programming.
5-Familiarity with hardware bring-up using JTAG, serial console, and oscilloscopes.
3-Experience with storage devices (eMMC, NVMe, SATA, SD) and root filesystem setup.??What are the Optional skills and skill proficiencies for this position? -??Nice to Have
2-Experience with secure boot, TPM, and firmware security practices.
2-Familiarity with cloud/edge IaaS environments.
2-Knowledge of specialized accelerators, heterogeneous compute, or SoC platforms.
2-Exposure to continuous integration for firmware/embedded builds.?

Mandatory skills: Linux kernel module programing, Device driver porting and development, C
