We're looking for an Embedded Software Engineer with genuinely deep Embedded Linux experience to join a small engineering team. This isn't a build-and-configure role: you'll be working down at the kernel level, bringing up hardware and writing the drivers that make it work.
ROLE: Embedded Linux Engineer
LOCATION: REMOTE *Occasional travel to Cheltenham
RATE: up to £65ph (outside IR35)
DURATION: 6 months
What you'll be doing
* Developing and maintaining Linux kernel drivers for custom hardware and software
* Board bring-up, including bootloader (U-Boot), device tree and BSP work
* Debugging low-level issues across the hardware/software boundary
* Optimising performance, power and boot time on resource-constrained platforms
* Working closely with hardware engineers on new designs
Essential skills for the Embedded Linux Software Engineer
* Commercial experience of Linux kernel development, not just user-space on an embedded target
* A track record of writing and debugging device drivers (e.g. I2C, SPI, UART, GPIO, DMA, platform drivers)
* Strong C, with a solid grasp of kernel internals: memory management, interrupts, concurrency
* Hands-on board bring-up and device tree experience on ARM platforms
* Comfortable with Yocto or Buildroot
* You must be willing to travel to the customer site in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire at least once per month and more frequently if needed.
If you're interested, please apply below or get in touch with any questions.
Cheers,
Nathan
