Job Description
Lead Embedded Linux Engineer
As a Lead Embedded Linux Engineer, you will own the design and development of a custom Linux distribution built with Yocto. You will collaborate with various internal stakeholders to derive requirements, plan and execute the development of the distribution, test the distribution on prototypes in a lab environment, deploy over-the-air updates, and eventually grow a team dedicated to this work.
We build fast! The ideal candidate for this role will have significant experience designing, developing, and testing software on rapid timelines. We are seeking engineers who enjoy a challenge and have a proven track record of creative problem-solving.

- Develop and maintain layers and recipes
- Support multiple CPU architectures (ARM, x86, etc.)
- Port the distribution to new platforms
- Create tooling to support satellite and telecommunications software engineers
- Design and implement mechanisms for OTA updates on production systems
- Act as the Linux expert (kernel, CPU-architecture, general device drivers, etc.) on the engineering team
- Work in a small, agile team to manage the software development lifecycle (requirements definition, design, implementation, test, and verification)
Qualifications:
Required Qualifications:
- A Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Software, Electrical, Aerospace, or a related engineering field
- 7+ years of experience building and shipping embedded Linux distributions
