Day‑to‑Day in This Role
In this role, you’ll be a hands‑on Firmware Development Engineer working primarily with Embedded Linux systems that run on production hardware (trucks). The platform already exists — this is not a greenfield environment — so the focus is on evolving, upgrading, and maintaining a production‑grade Linux OS rather than building one from scratch.
Core Focus Areas
On a typical day, you’ll be working within a Linux environment, designing and maintaining customized Linux images tailored for specific hardware. The team uses platforms such as Yocto, Buildroot, and OpenWRT to manage the embedded OS.
