## About the Role

5+ yearsrelevant software development experience withC/C++, Python. Some of this must include Linux experience as well as user space, and ideally kernel, fundamentals. Low-level interfacing experience: digital I/O, UART, I²C, SPI; comfort reading schematics and datasheets. Networking fundamentals and hands-on protocol work (TCP/IP, sockets; familiarity with HTTP(S), MQTT or similar). Strong CS foundations: concurrency/threading, memory management, OS concepts, data structures. DevOps fluency for edge: Git workflows; experience with CI systems ("e.g., GitHub Actions/GitLab CI/Jenkins") to automate build & test; basic Docker/Podman usage to package edge apps. Effective cross-functional communication; clear technical writing. Will and able to work on sitein Orange County, CA., B.S./M.S. in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related. Embedded Linux distro/tooling: Yocto/OpenEmbedded or Buildroot; cross-compilers, CMake/GNU Make, toolchains. Driver/kernel experience (modules, device trees) and board bring-up. Real-time concepts: scheduling/latency, multi-threaded design; RTOS exposure ("e.g., FreeRTOS") is a plus. Edge orchestration exposure: k3s/microk8s or interaction withKubernetes-managed services; container registries and image versioning. Testing depth: GoogleTest/CTest, fuzz/static analysis ("e.g., clang-tidy"), HIL or emulator-based CI. Securitydepth: secure boot chains, firmware signing/rollback protection, certificate provisioning/rotation, secrets handling. Telemetry/observability: device logging, metrics, and remote diagnostics; familiarity with cloud monitoring/alerting patterns. Scripting for automation and data handling (Python/Bash). Agile delivery and tracking (Jira), code review culture, and documentation habits.

Nice to Have

Experience withARMandx86edge platforms; performance profiling on constrained devices. OTA frameworks/workflows and staged/blue-green rollouts for device fleets. Basic device-side persistence (e.g., SQLite, log rotation) and efficient serialization (Protobuf/CBOR). Familiarity with cloud services Lab skills: oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, in-circuit debuggers; light rework/soldering for bring-up.

## Description

Design & implement Linux software(C/C++, Python) for real-time sensing and device control of hardware. Integrate hardware & firmware: bring-up boards, write/maintain device drivers, and interface with peripherals (GPIO/UART/I²C/SPI/ADC/DAC). Build reliable connectivity: implement and harden device communications using TCP/UDP, HTTP(S)/REST, MQTT, and/or gRPC/Protobuf. Harden for production: performance tuning, resource/memory optimization, and fault-tolerant behaviors for large device fleets. Ship with discipline: contribute to CI/CD pipelines (build, test, package), containerize services for edge deployment, and support OTA releases. Secure the stack: apply secure-by-default practices (TLS, certs/identity, secure boot, signed updates, key handling). Test & observe: author unit/integration tests, support HIL testing, add logging/metrics for remote diagnostics and telemetry. Collaboratewith electrical, mechanical, and cloud/backend teams to deliver features end-to-end on schedule.
