📋 Description

• 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

• 3+ years of experience developing or maintaining Linux‑based embedded or robotics platforms • Proficiency in C++ and Python • Hands‑on experience with ROS 1 or ROS 2 in a production or research setting • Knowledge of DDS internals and QoS tuning for deterministic data delivery • Strong grasp of real‑time performance tuning, profiling tools (perf, eBPF, tracing), and resource‑constrained optimization • Experience with Git, Docker/OCI containers • Prior work on autonomous vehicles, drones, or other safety‑critical robotic systems is preferred. • Experience with ptp4l configurations in complex systems is preferred. • Familiarity with common communication buses and protocols (USB, Ethernet, CAN, PCIe, SPI, I2C) is preferred. • Experience with v4l2/gstreamer is preferred. • Deep knowledge of Ubuntu or Linux systems, including package management, systemd, networking, and kernel configuration is preferred. • Experience with Nvidia Orin/Jetson platforms is preferred. • Experience with Yocto is preferred. • Experience customizing the Linux kernel for PREEMPT_RT or other real‑time patches is preferred. • Familiarity with GPU acceleration frameworks (CUDA, Vulkan) and heterogeneous compute scheduling is preferred. • Experience integrating functional safety libraries and tools (e.g., MISRA, ISO 26262 compliance workflow) is preferred. • Experience writing or debugging kernel modules and user‑space drivers is preferred. • Comfort working in a fast‑paced startup environment and supporting field deployments at airports or other industrial sites is preferred.

🏖️ Benefits

• Our customers include some of the world’s largest airlines and ground handling providers.
