As a Senior Embedded Linux Engineer on the Tactical Recon & Strike team, you will develop software for aerial small drones and associated equipment. Your daily responsibilities include performing board bring-up and maintenance on embedded ARM boards, managing device trees, bootloaders, and kernel drivers while customizing vendor BSPs for NixOS systems. You will collaborate with firmware engineers on low-level protocols and microcontroller updates to ensure rapid, reliable software deployment for military-grade systems. The role requires proficiency in C or Rust, Linux kernel development, uboot, EDK2, and platform firmware. You will also manage security by triaging and patching vulnerabilities. Technical skills include familiarity with MCU basics, RTOS, and potentially Yocto, buildroot, CUDA libraries, Python, and C++. This role addresses the challenge of creating a robust robotics platform for real-time command and control.
