- Location : Bangalore/ Hyderabad
Summary
- We are looking for an experienced Linux Kernel Developer with strong expertise in device driver development, kernel internals, and high-speed interface protocols.
- The candidate will work on low-level driver development, kernel optimization, and hardwaresoftware integration for high-performance embedded systems.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Design, develop, and maintain Linux kernel device drivers for various subsystems Work extensively with high-speed interfaces such as PCIe, USB 3.x, Ethernet (1G/10G/25G), MIPI, SerDes, etc.
- Implement and debug kernel modules, ensuring seamless integration with user-space applications.
- Work with Linux kernel subsystems : interrupt handling, memory management, power management, DMA, scheduler.
- Participate in board bring-up, including bootloader (U-Boot) setup, kernel configuration, and Device Tree updates.
- Collaborate with hardware and embedded teams to analyze schematics, SoC datasheets, and driver requirements.
- Optimize driver performance, reduce latency, and improve throughput for high-speed data paths.
- Perform kernel debugging using KGDB, crash tools, ftrace, printk, perf, LTTng, etc.
- Handle kernel patching, customization, and version upgrades.
- Create technical documentation and participate in design reviews.
Mandatory Skills
- 3 to 8 years of experience in Linux Kernel & Device Driver development.
- Strong expertise in C programming and embedded systems.
