## Role Overview

As our Senior Embedded Linux Engineer, you own the Linux platform on our radar sensor nodes: hardware bring-up on custom PCBs, production firmware, secure OTA updates, and long-term maintenance. You work with the hardware, radar signal processing, AI, and cloud engineers, and you set the embedded software architecture as the sensor platform scales.

## Key Responsibilities

Lead embedded Linux bring-up on custom ARM-based hardware platforms
Develop and maintain Yocto-based Linux distributions and BSPs including bootloaders, kernel configuration, device trees, and peripheral drivers
Design and implement secure device platforms, including secure boot, firmware signing, and robust OTA update mechanisms with rollback support
Design debugging, logging, and remote diagnostics infrastructure
Work with the team to design reproducible build environments and CI/CD pipelines for embedded software development
Define embedded software architecture and provide technical leadership, driving best practices and mentoring engineers as the team grows

## Required Qualifications

7+ years of hands-on embedded Linux development experience (a degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field is welcome, though equivalent practical experience counts just as much)
Strong expertise with the Yocto Project and Linux BSP development on ARM Cortex-A based systems
Solid C skills, plus working proficiency in at least one of Python, C++, or Rust
Knowledge of embedded Linux security: secure boot, firmware signing, and system hardening
Experience with Git, CI/CD, and reproducible software builds
Ability to debug hardware/software interactions using laboratory equipment

## Nice to Have

Experience with radar systems, RF engineering, DSP, or signal processing
Experience with heterogeneous SoCs combining Linux and RTOS environments
Familiarity with FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or similar RTOS
Contributions to open-source projects (Linux Kernel, Yocto, U-Boot, RAUC, SWUpdate, Mender)
Experience mentoring engineers and growing technical teams
German language skills are beneficial but not required
