Key Responsibilities

• Develop and integrate embedded Linux systems using Yocto/OpenEmbedded
• Customize kernels, device trees, and drivers for target platforms
• Bring up new hardware and support BSP development
• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins)
• Design and execute unit, integration, and HIL tests
• Debug low-level issues using JTAG, perf, ftrace, strace, and GDB
• Ensure code quality using static analysis and MISRA guidelines
• Participation in code & design reviews
• Contribute to ASPICE-compliant development and documentation
  
  

Characterization of activities

• Software construction according to technical requirements.
• Manage and maintain source code using Git (e.g., Bitbucket).
• Implement and improve CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins) to automate builds and testing
• Develop and execute comprehensive testing strategies, including unit testing GoogleTest (GTest), integration testing, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) validation.
• Perform advanced debugging and performance analysis using tools such as JTAG/trace, perf, ftrace, strace, valgrind, and GDB remote debugging.
• Ensure high code quality and compliance by applying static analysis tools (e.g., PC-Lint, Codesonar, CppCheck) and adhering to MISRA C guidelines.
• Documentation of work products (change logs, design documentation, engineering test reports). Reviewing and approving documents.
