Job
In dieser Rolle entwickelst du die Linux-Plattformebene über dem Kernel, einschließlich OS-Lebenszyklus, Hardwareabstraktionsschicht und der Integration von Sensoren sowie Medien- und Grafikbibliotheken.
Job-Zusammenfassung
Job-Technologien
Deine Rolle im Team
- You own the Linux platform layer directly above the kernel: the OS lifecycle, the hardware abstraction layer and system services, library, graphics, and media integration, and integration of sensor modules.
- You work at the kernel and userspace boundary daily, in close cooperation with the Embedded Software team, which owns the bootloader, kernel drivers, and firmware beneath you.
- This is a platform and integration role: you read kernel code and carry kernel patches through our OS builds, but your home is the layer above, where a working kernel becomes a working product.
- Own the OS lifecycle: bundle kernel and OS, build, adapt, package, and release Debian and Ubuntu images on amd64 and ARM, including OS updates, build and release pipelines, dual-boot, and over-the-air update mechanisms that scale with production volumes.
- Integrate at the kernel and userspace boundary: bring in modifications and kernel patches, develop the hardware abstraction layer, and integrate drivers with applications.
- Build and maintain system services: D-Bus system daemons (for example, in the clight or lightd style), platform utilities, and tooling that make the device debuggable in the field.
- Patch and integrate kernel-dependent libraries: OpenGL or Vulkan, NPU, libc, and crypto for the application layer, plus GPU vendor-specific userspace blob integration, coordinating low-level kernel work with the Embedded Software team and application-layer work with the Application team.
- Own the camera and media userspace: the V4L2 interface, image formats and controls, and OpenCV-level fixes, building on top of camera kernel drivers delivered by the Embedded Software team.
- Develop sensor software modules, for example the GNSS and GPS software module: message parsing, interfaces, NTRIP forwarding, and precise timestamping for a survey-grade mapping system, with module bring-up owned by the Embedded Software team and interface definition owned jointly with the Calibration and Sensors team.
- Support the ROS-based mapping stack: keep the C++ and Python mapping stack and its ROS nodes running reliably on the platform you own.
- Keep quality measurable: build and maintain CI pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and stress tests.
Unsere Erwartungen an dich
Qualifikationen
- Fluency at the kernel and userspace boundary: reading kernel code, applying and carrying kernel patches, working with sysfs and udev, and debugging across the boundary in the field.
- Hands-on Linux image building and OS lifecycle management: Debian or Ubuntu image builds, packaging, update or OTA mechanisms, and reproducible, tested build pipelines.
- Clear communication in English, needed to coordinate kernel-boundary work with the Embedded Software, Calibration and Sensors, and Application teams.
- Familiarity with ROS or comparable robotics middleware in a production C++ and Python environment.
- Time synchronization in sensor systems: PTP and timestamping strategies.
- Device provisioning and image-based deployment at production scale.
Erfahrung
- 5+ years of professional software development for embedded Linux systems, ideally on ARM-based platforms, with strong hands-on C and C++ experience in a production codebase and solid Python for tooling, scripting, and automation.
- Linux userspace platform experience: system daemons, D-Bus or comparable IPC, systemd, packaging, and platform tooling.
- Integration experience in at least one of: V4L2 and camera and media pipelines; GPU or graphics stacks and kernel-dependent libraries (OpenGL, Vulkan, NPU, libc, crypto, vendor blobs); or GNSS and sensor protocol software (message parsing, forwarding, timestamping).
- Experience with hardware-in-the-loop testing or performance and latency evaluation for device software.
- Experience with camera systems (bandwidth, rolling shutter, exposure and gain) and sensors in general.
- Yocto or Buildroot experience, and open-source contributions (kernel, Debian or Ubuntu packaging, V4L2, Mesa, ROS).
