- Architect, develop, and optimize low-level software in C for performance-sensitive, resource-constrained environments.
- Design, implement, and debug bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot) and system firmware (e.g., BIOS) for multiple architectures (x86, ARM, MIPS), ensuring secure and reliable boot processes.
- Drive Linux kernel integration, including development of device drivers and subsystems, and maintain custom drivers for peripherals (I2C, SPI, UART, USB, PCIe).
- Enhance and debug the Linux networking stack, contribute to open-source initiatives (such as ONIE and OpenBMC), and lead the design and implementation of BMC firmware.
- Architect and maintain embedded Linux build systems (e.g., Yocto, Buildroot) and adapt enterprise distributions (e.g., Rocky Linux) for custom hardware platforms.
- Collaborate with security teams to implement platform security features and manage Hardware Root of Trust (HROT).
- Guide development and debugging efforts involving networking silicon (Broadcom, Marvell), high-speed SerDes, optical modules, and Layer 1 components.
- Conduct rigorous code reviews, mentor engineers, and drive best practices in agile development environments.
