Embedded Linux Engineer

Gliwice (hybid)##### Job description:

• Build and maintain the reference Linux distribution for our on-board data processing units: Yocto layers, machine configurations, distro configuration and image recipes.
• Integrate the IP cores of the platform into the running system: device trees and overlays, drivers, bootloader configuration and the boot chain from power-on to userspace.
• Write and maintain recipes for our own applications and services.
• Configure the runtime: init system, networking, filesystem layout, storage and firmware update paths.
• Keep the build reproducible in CI and the layers updated against their upstream releases.
• Write integration tests in Python for the images and services.
• Bring up new hardware revisions together with the electronics and FPGA teams.
• Prepare and maintain build, configuration and integration documentation.

What we expect:

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Computer Science, Electronics, Automatic Control, Telecommunications or a related technical field.
• Commercial experience with Linux on custom embedded hardware, where the system is built from sources for the board it runs on.
• Practical knowledge of Yocto: layers, recipes, bbappends, machine and distro configuration, and debugging a failing build.
• Knowledge of C or C++, applied to userspace components, drivers and the kernel.
• Python, used to write integration tests for your own work.
• Experience with a CI system: builds and tests running automatically.
• Understanding of the Linux boot chain on an embedded platform: bootloader, device tree, kernel, init system.
• English sufficient to read documentation and standards, write technical documentation and take part in technical discussions with customers.
• Availability to work from our Gliwice office every Tuesday.

Nice to have:

• Experience with an SoC that combines application cores with programmable logic, and with the Yocto layers its vendor provides.
• Experience with a build orchestration tool for Yocto, such as kas.
• Kernel work: writing or porting drivers, device tree bindings, debugging kernel panics.
• Familiarity with ECSS, CCSDS or other space industry standards.
• Automated tests running on hardware.

What we offer:

• Work with world-class companies and institutions on the cutting-edge space industry.
• Challenging projects that have the potential to change the industry.
• Supportive environment and opportunities to learn new exciting things.
• Opportunity to attend the biggest global events related to the space industry.
• The opportunity to gain experience with support from the best specialists in the field.
• Flexible working hours and remote work option.
• A variety of perks to choose from (sports cards, private healthcare, fuel cards, foreign language lessons).

We believe in a “human” approach to work and care about work-life balance. Additionally, one of our biggest assets is our attention to mutual support and exchange of knowledge at work.
