Responsibilities
- Design, build, and maintain custom Ubuntu/Linux distributions for real-time, safety-critical autonomous vehicle workloads.
- Optimize ROS 2 DDS middleware for low-latency, high-throughput multi-sensor data flows.
- Develop, integrate, and maintain kernel modules and user-space drivers for LiDARs, cameras, radars, GNSS/INS, CAN, and other vehicle interfaces.
- Maintain and expand system network interfaces.
- Implement observability and logging solutions for system health, performance, and resource monitoring.
- Profile CPU/GPU usage and remove performance bottlenecks across the software stack with autonomy, perception, and controls teams.
- Apply security patches, enforce secure boot, and implement OTA update pipelines.
- Own CI/CD pipelines for OS images and driver packages and automate build, test, and deployment processes.
- Provide on-call support for platform components during field trials and customer pilots.
- Create technical documentation and best-practice guidelines.
Requirements
- 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining Linux-based embedded or robotics platforms.
- Deep knowledge of Ubuntu or Linux systems, including package management, systemd, networking, and kernel configuration.
- Proficiency in C/C++ and Python, including experience writing or debugging kernel modules and user-space drivers.
- Hands-on experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2 in a production or research setting.
- Familiarity with USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, and I2C communication buses and protocols.
- Strong knowledge of real-time performance tuning, profiling tools, and resource-constrained optimization.
- Experience with Git, Docker/OCI containers, and automated build systems such as Yocto or Buildroot.
- Preferred experience with autonomous vehicles, drones, or other safety-critical robotic systems.
- Preferred experience with ptp4l, v4l2/gstreamer, Nvidia Orin/Jetson platforms, PREEMPT_RT, DDS internals, CUDA, Vulkan, heterogeneous compute scheduling, and functional safety workflows including MISRA and ISO 26262.
