 - Own and enhance bootloader functionality and hardware bring‑up.
 - Build, customise, and maintain Yocto‑based Linux distributions.
 - Configure, integrate, and debug the Linux kernel for new and existing platforms.
 - Contribute to BSP development and hardware enablement activities.
 - Work closely with hardware, firmware, and systems engineering to resolve issues early and ensure smooth integration.
   
 About You
 - Strong experience in embedded software development within engineering or technology environments.
 - Proven background in low‑level development, including device drivers, bootloaders, and kernel‑level work. Experience with BSP or bare metal programming.
 - Solid understanding of Yocto, build systems, and Linux internals.
 - Confident working with ARM processors, toolchains, and debugging tools.
 - Analytical, detail‑focused, and able to collaborate effectively across functions.
   
 Qualifications
