About the role
- Design, implement, and maintain C++ applications running on a custom Yocto-based Linux platform
- Integrate and configure Pulseaudio, spdlog, RapidJSON, and related libraries into existing or new services
- Implement and debug inter-process communication using Linux sockets
- Manage application configuration and persistence using the Linux filesystem and JSON-based configs
- Create, configure, and troubleshoot systemd services for application components (start-up, shutdown, restart policies, logging)
- Work with in-house engineers to diagnose and resolve issues on target hardware (e.g., performance, stability, resource usage)
- Contribute to build and deployment workflows for Yocto images and application updates
Requirements
- Strong modern C++ (C++11 or later) application development on Linux targets
- Hands-on experience with custom Linux distributions built using **Yocto **or OpenEmbedded (building images, debugging target issues, integrating packages)
- Comfortable developing Linux user-space applications that use:
- **Pulseaudio **for audio routing and playback/capture on Linux systems
- **spdlog **for structured, high-performance logging in C++
- **RapidJSON **(or similar) for efficient JSON parsing/serialization in C++
- POSIX/Linux sockets (TCP/UDP, basic networking, and IPC)
- Linux filesystem APIs (file I/O, directory operations, permissions)
- Linux service management (systemd units, logging, enabling/disabling services, service supervision)
