About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Design, build, and maintain custom Ubuntu/Linux distributions tailored for real‑time, safety‑critical autonomous vehicle workloads.
  • Optimize and tune ROS 2 DDS middleware (e.g., Cyclone DDS, Fast DDS) for low‑latency, high‑throughput multi‑sensor data flows.
  • Develop, integrate, and maintain kernel modules and user‑space drivers for LiDARs, cameras, radars, GNSS/INS, CAN, and other vehicle interfaces.
  • Maintain and expand the network interfaces of the system.
  • Implement observability and logging solutions to monitor system health, performance, and resource utilization in both lab and field deployments.
  • Collaborate with autonomy, perception, and controls engineers to profile CPU/GPU usage and remove bottlenecks across the stack.
  • Harden the platform for production by applying security patches, enforcing secure boot, and implementing over‑the‑air (OTA) update pipelines.
  • Own CI/CD pipelines for OS images and driver packages; automate build, test, and deployment processes.
  • Provide on‑call support for platform components during field trials and customer pilots.
  • Contribute to technical documentation and best‑practice guidelines for internal and external developers.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining Linux‑based embedded or robotics platforms.
  • Deep knowledge of Ubuntu or Linux systems, including package management, systemd, networking, and kernel configuration.

  • Hands‑on experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2 in a production or research setting.
  • Familiarity with common communication buses and protocols (USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, I2C).
  • Strong grasp of real‑time performance tuning, profiling tools (perf, eBPF, tracing), and resource‑constrained optimization.
  • Experience with Git, Docker/OCI containers, and automated build systems (Yocto, Buildroot, or similar).
