Job Summary: MNI is seeking a Senior Embedded Linux Software Engineer to lead the development of Yocto-based embedded Linux applications for controlling and managing microwave radio systems. This role focuses on TI ARM-based platforms, developing robust, scalable software that interfaces directly with hardware in mission-critical network environments.
The ideal candidate combines embedded Linux expertise on TI ARM processors with experience in device drivers, hardware interfacing, and networked communications, and is capable of mentoring a team of engineers to deliver high-quality software.
Essential Job Functions and Responsibilities:
Embedded Software Development
- Design, implement, and maintain Yocto-based embedded Linux applications running on TI ARM processors.
- Develop device drivers, middleware, and application software to interface with RF hardware, sensors, and peripherals.
- Implement efficient, reliable, and secure software for real-time control, monitoring, and data acquisition.
System Integration
- Collaborate with hardware engineers to define hardware-software interfaces.
- Integrate embedded applications with network protocols (SNMP, NETCONF/YANG, REST APIs) for control and monitoring.
- Support end-to-end system integration, verification, and debugging with TI ARM-based radio hardware.
Testing & Reliability
- Develop unit tests, integration tests, and system-level tests for embedded applications.
- Debug and troubleshoot complex software-hardware interactions on TI ARM platforms.
- Ensure compliance with quality, safety, and performance standards.
Documentation
- Create detailed technical documentation including design specifications, API definitions, and test procedures.
- Maintain software version control, configuration management, and release documentation.
Requirements:
Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
Experience:
o 5+ years of experience in embedded Linux software development.
o Proven experience with Yocto-based Linux systems, including BSP customization, recipe management, and kernel module integration.
