Principal Embedded Driver Engineer (Linux, Gnu, Soc)

As a Principal Embedded Driver Engineer, you will play a key role in developing the foundational software that enables our System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms to perform reliably, efficiently, and intelligently. You will work at the intersection of hardware and low-level software, ensuring seamless integration across Linux and QNX environments while contributing to the technical excellence of our embedded systems.

Your main responsibilities include:

- Leading the design, development, and optimization of critical device drivers for Linux and QNX operating systems.

- Developing and maintaining Linux kernel modules and advanced driver components for QNX.

- Porting existing Linux kernel drivers to QNX to ensure cross-platform compatibility and stable system behavior.

- Designing, implementing, and enhancing essential embedded software components within complex SoC-based environments.

- Shaping and improving multi-layered Continuous Integration (CI) environments to support scalable and reliable embedded software workflows.

- Collaborating closely with hardware, platform, and system engineering teams to ensure high-quality system integration and overall platform performance.
