The team you'll be part of 

A flexible team with a passion for embedded Linux SW development. We are interacting closely with the hardware team and with our application development colleagues. We are working in an agile manner. 

You’ll get ample opportunity to get acquainted with the organization, our way of working and products. During this training period, the team will support you with specific on-hands / on-the-job training. Next to that, you will have a wide variety of high-quality on-line training material at your disposal. 

In our embedded Linux based products, we not only leverage Linux itself but all kinds of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). Apart from the obvious advantages that come with deploying FOSS, there’s the continuous challenge of keeping our FOSS secure and up to date. It is in this context that we are reinforcing our team with a software developer who is passionate about open source software in general and security in particular. In this role, you will contribute to the day-to-day maintenance of our FOSS components, as well as to innovative ways to streamline and automate the latter. Next that, you will help setting out and execute our FOSS strategy on the longer term. 

 

You have:

Knowledge of real-time operating system concepts (interrupts, tasks, concurrency, …); Hands-on experience with C (and C++) is indispensable Knowledge of FOSS (Buildroot, Linux kernel, (GNU cross compilation) toolchains, …); Knowledge of cloud concepts; Genuine interest in new technologies; Ability to work fluently with Linux (as operating system); Eagerness and agility to learn fast and be challenged on a daily basisPassion in handling complex systems and projects “out-of-the-box” thinkingThe ambition to work autonomously after the needed training Fluency in English 

 

As part of our team, you will:

Clarify customer requirements; Acquire a thorough insight into a wide variety of hardware components, going from simple i2c temperature sensors, over persistent storage devices (eMMC, NOR) to full Systems-on-Chip (typically supported by a reference design) and research how these components fit into new to-be-developed products; Be accountable for the long-term quality of the software delivered; Interact with project managers to give regular updates of identified issues; Write (mainly) C / (occasionally) C++ code, make files, scripts, … Write test cases (Python or shell script) that validate the written code, and automate them; Estimate and measure the consumed CPU cycles and on-board memory; Troubleshoot software on target hardware and in a simulation environment; Streamline FOSS maintenance and reporting through advanced automation strategies; Define (long term) strategy of FOSS maintenance and evolution.
