Job Description

The  Linux Software Engineer  will be responsible for designing, developing, and optimizing Linux-based systems, particularly for edge computing environments. This role requires deep expertise in creating custom base OS images using tools like Kairos and Yocto, as well as a strong understanding of the specific challenges and requirements of edge computing. The engineer will also contribute to the overall architecture, and ensure that all systems meet the highest standards of performance, security, and reliability.

Responsibilities :

• Design, develop, and optimize custom base OS images tailored for edge devices, utilizing tools such as Kairos and Yocto.
• Collaborate with hardware engineers to ensure seamless integration of the OS with the underlying hardware, considering the specific constraints of edge environments.
• Work with edge hardware vendors to use board support packages (BSP).
• Configure, manage, and optimize Linux-based systems to ensure they are secure, stable, and performant, particularly in distributed edge computing environments.
• Implement system automation using shell scripting and other tools to streamline processes and improve efficiency.
• Develop and deploy Linux-based systems specifically designed for edge computing, ensuring they can handle the unique demands of edge environments, such as limited resources, network variability, and physical constraints.
• Optimize systems for low-latency, high-reliability operation in distributed edge networks.
• Collaborate closely with the software technical manger to design systems, develop and refine technical standards, including coding guidelines ensuring they align with the overall architectural vision and strategic goals.
• Ensure that the team consistently follows the established technical standards, offering mentorship and support to less experienced engineers.
• Conduct thorough code and configuration reviews, ensuring that all implementations meet the required quality standards and follow best practices.
• Identify potential issues early in the development cycle and work with the team to resolve them efficiently.
• Implement and maintain security measures for Linux systems, including patch management, vulnerability assessments, and secure configuration practices.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements, particularly in the context of edge computing.
