Responsibilities
- Own the lifecycle of Debian and Ubuntu images on amd64 and ARM, including kernel and OS bundling, builds, packaging, releases, OS updates, dual-boot, and scalable OTA mechanisms.
- Integrate kernel patches and drivers with applications and develop the hardware abstraction layer at the kernel/userspace boundary.
- Build and maintain D-Bus system daemons, platform utilities, and field-debugging tooling.
- Patch and integrate OpenGL, Vulkan, NPU, libc, crypto, and GPU vendor userspace components for the application layer.
- Own camera and media userspace using V4L2, image formats, controls, and OpenCV-level fixes.
- Develop GNSS and GPS sensor modules covering message parsing, interfaces, NTRIP forwarding, and precise timestamping.
- Support the C++ and Python ROS-based mapping stack and its ROS nodes on the platform.
- Build and maintain CI pipelines, hardware-in-the-loop tests, and stress tests.
Requirements
