Embedded Software Engineer - Real-Time Linux

Embedded Software Engineer - Real-Time LinuxLOCATION:Role DescriptionWe are looking to recruit an exceptional Embedded Software Engineer - Real-Time Linux to help build the foundational real-time Linux platform powering the brains of our autonomous robotics systems. This is a critical role for developing high-performance, GPU-accelerated compute platforms tailored to robotics and machine learning workloads.In this role you will:Design, adapt, and integrate POSIX-compliant systems for advanced robotics and machine learning (ML) applications.Develop the framework for integration of controls, machine learning and supporting algorithms with real-time tasks.Collaborate with Controls and Machine Learning engineers to develop and optimise high performance autonomous systems.Develop and maintain drivers for integration with real-time robotic middleware.Build tools to monitor, verify and optimise system performance, ensuring reliable and deterministic behaviour.Contribute to a deterministic and reproducible build and test environment for efficient development.Work with functional safety engineers to support standards compliance, audit readiness, and traceability.Develop robust solutions for over-the-air (OTA) updates, calibration management and software deployment strategies.Tackle complex, real-world challenges alongside a multidisciplinary team of experts.QualificationsMust-have:MS in computer engineering, computer science or a related discipline.Production experience with bringup and configuration of Linux PREEMPT_RT and similar operating systems (e.g. QNX).Strong understanding of Linux device trees, scheduling and memory management.Experience with multicore ARM SoCs, interprocess/intercore communications and message passing.Proficiency in C and C++.Experience with ROS 2 middleware and alternatives (Eg. FastDDS, CycloneDDS, Zenoh).Familiarity with container technologies, container runtimes and related concepts (Eg. Docker, Containerd, Overlayfs).Understanding of toolchains (compilers, linkers, debuggers, static analysis tools).Self-starter attitude with strong ability to identify problems, prioritize them, then plan and execute working solutions.Proactive, self-driven mindset with a strong ability to prioritize and deliver in a fast-paced startup environment.Nice-to-have:Familiarity with communication protocols (e.g. Ethernet, EtherCAT, CAN, CANOpen).Knowledge of ARM SIMD/NEON architecture extensions.Proficiency in additional programming languages (e.g. Python, Rust, Golang).Expertise with multi-language build systems (e.g. Bazel, Bob).Experience with Hypervisors (e.g. QNX Hypervisor, Jailhouse, Xen).Understanding of container orchestration systems and tools (Eg. Kubernetes).J-18808-Ljbffr
