SoC Infrastructure software – Development Lead (Dev-Lead)

Job Title : SoC Infrastructure software – Development Lead (Dev-Lead)

Summary :

We are seeking a highly experienced software engineer to lead the design, development, and optimization of low-level software infrastructure for complex System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms. This role focuses on Linux kernel, device drivers, bootloaders, board support packages (BSP), and embedded firmware to enable cutting-edge hardware across multiple product lines. The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of experience in embedded systems, deep understanding of SoC architecture, and a proven track record of delivering robust and performant low-level software.

Key Responsibilities :

• Architect and develop SoC software infrastructure including bootloaders, kernel bring-up, and board support packages.
• Design, implement, and maintain Linux kernel drivers for peripherals such as I²C, SPI, UART, PCIe, USB, networking, multimedia, and camera subsystems.
• Lead SoC bring-up on new hardware platforms — from first silicon to mass production.
• Collaborate with hardware, FPGA, and ASIC teams to define hardware / software interfaces.
• Develop low-level firmware (secure monitor, power management firmware, DSP / Microcontroller firmware) as needed for SoC components.
• Optimize system performance, memory footprint, and power efficiency for embedded Linux environments.
• Integrate and validate IP blocks into the SoC software stack.
• Create and maintain automated test and CI pipelines for low-level software.
• Debug complex hardware / software interaction issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG, and kernel trace tools.
• Mentor junior engineers and guide software architecture decisions.
• Work with product and manufacturing teams to ensure software readiness for production.

Required Qualifications :

Linux kernel internals and driver development.

Bootloaders (U-Boot, Coreboot, or similar).

Board Support Package (BSP) design.

Device Tree configuration and customization.
