# Senior Embedded Linux Engineer

- **Company:** X4 Technology
- **Location:** Deer Park, NY, United States
- **Experience:** Expert
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** C++ (Programming Language), Ubuntu (Operating System), Computer Programming, Debian Linux, Software Debugging, Linux, Linux on Embedded Systems, Linux-Powered Devices, Raspberry Pi, Real-Time Operating Systems, Software Engineering, Systems Integration, Toolchain, Yocto, Build Tools, Software Version Control
- **Published:** October 8, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.disabledperson.com/jobs/75897120-senior-embedded-linux-engineer

## About the Role

* Solid hands-on experience developing on embedded Linux (Yocto-based systems ideal, but strong Debian-family experience - Ubuntu, Raspberry Pi OS, Knoppix - is also highly valued and transferable)
 * Real coding experience, not just configuration or system administration - you should be comfortable writing and debugging kernel drivers, BSPs, and application code, not just deploying or configuring existing images
 * Strong C/C++ fundamentals
 * Familiarity with build systems, version control, and cross-compilation toolchains
 * Bonus: RTOS background is a plus, but this role is squarely focused on embedded Linux application development rather than RTOS-only work

Location: This is an on-site role in Brentwood, NY, with a 9/80 working pattern. Candidates must be local to, or willing to relocate to, the Long Island / Suffolk County area - this is not a remote position.

## Description

* Building and maintaining custom Linux images using Yocto / OpenEmbedded
 * Writing and debugging Linux device drivers, kernel modules, and board support packages (BSPs)
 * Developing application-layer software in C/C++ on embedded Linux targets
 * Bringing up new hardware platforms and supporting system integration
 * Working across the full stack from bootloader to user-space application
