We are seeking a highly experienced Embedded Linux specialist to work with a cutting edge engineering team developing custom Xilinx based platforms. This is a hands on role focused on board and system bring up, sitting at the boundary between FPGA, boot chain, Linux BSP, and video/display integration, rather than application level software.

You will work closely with FPGA and hardware engineers in a lab environment, helping to drive early hardware platforms through bring up and into a stable development or product state. The position suits a senior consultant or engineer who enjoys low level debugging, hardware/software integration, and solving complex system level problems.

Rate is negotiable depending on experience.

Responsibilities of Senior Embedded Systems Engineer (Linux, Xilinx, Video)
  • Work closely with FPGA developers during board and system bring up
  • Support Embedded Linux integration on Xilinx based SoCs / MPSoCs
  • Build, customise, and maintain Yocto / PetaLinux based distributions
  • Debug boot flow issues including U Boot, kernel, and device tree
  • Investigate and resolve hardware/software integration problems
  • Support video and display pipeline integration and troubleshooting
  • Contribute hands on in the lab to move platforms from early bring up to stable operation
  • Collaborate effectively with hardware, FPGA, and system engineers

Requirements of Senior Embedded Systems Engineer / Bring Up Engineer
  • Strong experience with Xilinx SoCs / MPSoCs (Zynq, Zynq UltraScale+)
  • Proven experience with Embedded Linux bring up and BSP development
  • Strong knowledge of Yocto and preferably PetaLinux
  • Experience with device tree, U Boot, kernel configuration, and low level debugging
  • Hands on hardware/software integration experience
  • Comfortable working in a lab-based bring up environment
  • Ability to work independently while collaborating closely with cross disciplinary teams
  • Strong problem solving and technical communication skills

Highly Desirable Experience
  • Video pipeline and display integration experience
  • DisplayPort knowledge
  • DRM/KMS, V4L2, GStreamer, or related Linux video/display stacks
  • Low level driver or platform level integration work
  • Experience with custom board bring up

Working Model: Hybrid, with some onsite presence required due to lab and bring up activities
