The role includes embedded operating system configurations, device abstractions, secure provisioning and over-the-air updates, and shared runtime, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms. The platform supports counter-drone defence systems and uses embedded Linux or comparable operating systems alongside C/C++, Python, and related systems programming languages.

Qualifications

  • Strong experience with embedded Linux or comparable embedded operating systems.
  • Experience in device lifecycle management, software deployment, and system-level debugging.
  • Knowledge of embedded security, networking, and secure update mechanisms.
  • Proficiency in C/C++, Python, or other relevant systems programming languages.
  • Experience with hardware-dependent and distributed software systems.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain embedded operating system configurations, device abstractions, and common system services.
  • Implement secure device provisioning, identity and key management, access control, and over-the-air software updates.
  • Establish shared runtime, deployment, diagnostics, and recovery mechanisms.
  • Define stable interfaces that let domain teams deploy software without managing underlying platform complexity.
  • Maintain reliability, security, and maintainability throughout the device lifecycle.
