职位详情
关于这个职位
This senior engineer role focuses on enabling Linux boot on ARM-based compute platforms, working with OEM/ODM customers and internal teams. You will debug boot flows, perform board bring-up, and optimize performance using U-Boot, UEFI, and Linux kernel tools.
最低要求
Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 1+ year of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. • 1+ year of any combination of academic and/or work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc. • 1+ year of any combination of academic and/or work experience with debugging techniques.
工作职责
SoC Boot Flow Development
Familiar with SoC boot flow, including storage interfaces such as UFS and SPI NOR.
Debug boot-up issues across bootloader stages (e.g., XBL, ABL/U-Boot) and Linux kernel initialization.
Support customer Linux distributions during early hardware bring‑up, pre‑production validation, and customer escalations.
Analyze early‑boot failures using UART logs, earlyprintk, crash dumps, and platform debug traces.
Board Bring-Up
Support OEM/ODM projects for hardware platform bring-up and Linux BSP integration.
Validate and tune hardware platforms to ensure successful Linux OS boot and peripheral functionality.
Joint Debug & Issue Resolution
Collaborate with OEM/ODM teams to debug and resolve device boot-up and runtime issues on Linux.
Analyze and troubleshoot problems related to boot flow, device tree (DTS), and peripheral driver initialization.
Linux Bootloader & Kernel Architecture
Work with U-Boot / ABL architecture for bootloader module development and maintenance.
Collaborate with OEM/ODM on Linux kernel drivers, device tree configuration, and platform bring-up.
Develop and maintain kernel modules and platform drivers (e.g., storage, display, power management).
Performance & Reliability
Optimize boot time and system stability on Linux platforms.
Ensure firmware and kernel meet reliability requirements and collaborate with Pre-test Lab for validation.
Profile and tune system performance using Linux tools (e.g., ftrace, perf, bootchart).
优先资格
Master's Degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field. • 3+ years of Software Applications Engineering, Software Development experience, or related work experience. • 1+ year of work experience in a role requiring interaction with leadership. • Experience in a customer-facing role. Additionally: Familiarity with ARM64 architecture and ACPI/Device Tree on Linux. Experience with Linux kernel debugging tools (e.g., kgdb, ftrace, dmesg, perf). Experience with Yocto / OpenEmbedded or Android BSP build systems. Previous collaboration experience with OEM/ODM projects on Linux platforms. Familiarity with ARM SystemReady, FWTS, or platform compliance testing. Experience supporting dual‑boot platforms (Linux + Windows). Working knowledge of U‑Boot‑based Linux boot flows. Prior experience collaborating with BIOS vendors (IBVs). Comfortable operating in fast‑paced, customer‑critical escalation environments.
