Embedded Linux Engineer

WorkSprout is a deep-tech engineering and design partner across twelve practice areas — TinyML & Edge AI, Custom AI Development, AI Automation & Agents, Data Engineering & Collection, IoT Solutions, Hardware Prototyping, Robotics & Automation, 3D Design & Modeling, Software Development, Growth & DevOps, Branding & Creative Design, and Startup & Product Launch. We deliver systems that work in production, not just in demos.

You will build and maintain embedded Linux systems for industrial and consumer products, working across the full stack from kernel drivers and BSPs to application-layer services. You will own the software platform for custom embedded hardware from bring-up to production.

• Develop and maintain Linux BSPs for ARM-based custom embedded targets
• Write and debug kernel drivers for custom peripherals and hardware interfaces
• Configure and optimise Buildroot or Yocto-based Linux distributions for targets
• Implement system security hardening, secure boot, and trusted execution environments
• Develop init systems, systemd services, and inter-process communication layers
• Support hardware bring-up and field debugging with JTAG and serial console tools

• Strong C programming for Linux kernel and character/block driver development
• Experience with Yocto Project or Buildroot for custom Linux image construction
• Understanding of ARM architecture, MMU, interrupt controllers, and memory-mapped I/O
• Knowledge of Linux debugging and tracing tools (GDB, perf, ftrace, strace, LTTng)
• Experience with Git and CI/CD practices in embedded cross-compilation environments

• Experience with real-time Linux patches (PREEMPT-RT or Xenomai co-kernel)
• Knowledge of embedded security standards (IEC 62443, Cyber Resilience Act)
• Familiarity with Rust for embedded systems and driver development

• Own the embedded software platform for production hardware products
• Competitive salary benchmarked to international rates
• Access to hardware lab with diverse ARM evaluation and custom boards
• Time allocation for upstream Linux kernel contributions
• Support for embedded Linux conference attendance (ELCE, ELC-NA)
