Overview In this role, you will define and own an AI-forward embedded Linux platform for SST power systems, shaping the software stack from BSP to boot architecture. You'll partner with hardware and control teams to set boundaries and bring up complex multi-board systems. You'll accelerate architecture work with AI-assisted tools and lead architectural reviews and standards. You'll mentor a small embedded software team and collaborate across validation, manufacturing, and product engineering to ensure field-ready solutions.

Responsibilities- Define and own embedded Linux platform architecture for SST power systems, including BSP strategy, boot, and OS config
- Create system software frameworks for real-time control, IPC, and fault management across multi-board architectures
- Leverage AI-assisted development tools to improve architecture documentation, code reviews, and root-cause analysis
- Collaborate with hardware, power electronics, and control engineers to define hardware/software boundaries and bring-up strategies
- Drive platform reuse and scalability with reference architectures, BSPs, and build systems for downstream teams
- Lead architectural reviews, set coding/integration standards, and own key tech decisions from concept to launch
- Manage and mentor a small team of embedded software engineers, contributing to hiring and growth
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (validation, product engineering, manufacturing) to support DVT, factory test, and field quality loops
Key requirements- 15+ years of embedded systems experience in a product development environment (B.E.) or 12+ years (M.S.)
- Deep hands-on experience with embedded Linux (build systems, BSP, device tree, kernel config)
- Strong systems architecture instincts (SoC selection, memory map, boot sequence, OS partitioning)
- Experience with high-reliability or safety-relevant embedded systems; familiarity with IEC/UL is a plus
- Hardware/software co-design and driver ownership for custom peripherals
- Experience integrating real-time control loops with an Linux application processor
- Track record of shipping products from architecture to manufacturing and field support
- Proficiency in C, C++, Python; experience with CI/CD and Atlassian tools (Jira, Confluence)
- Ability to lead engineers technically and build team capability
- leadership and mentoring
- cross-functional collaboration
- strong communication
- embedded Linux
- BSP development
- device tree
