Description
Will be part of architecture and development of Linux kernel features for Armv8/v9-based server SoCs. Drive upstream contributions to the mainline Linux kernel, ensuring long-term maintainability and community alignment. Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and platform teams to enable new SoC features (e.g., RAS, SMMU, GIC, ACPI). Develop and maintain kernel drivers, subsystems, and board support packages (BSPs). Guide the integration of compliance test suites such as FWTS, BSA-ACS, SBSA-ACS, and SystemReady SR validation tools. Lead kernel bring-up on new silicon and virtual platforms Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical reviews, design documentation, and architectural decisions Represent the company in open-source communities and industry working groups Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field. 10+ years of experience in Linux kernel development, with a strong focus on Arm architecture. Deep understanding of kernel subsystems such as memory management, scheduler, device drivers, power management, and interrupt handling. Proven experience in upstreaming patches and working with the Linux kernel community. Familiarity with server-class SoC features: NUMA, RAS, ACPI, PCIe, CXL, and secure boot. Experience with platform enablement and compliance validation (e.g., SystemReady SR, FWTS, ACS). Strong debugging skills using tools like ftrace, perf, kgdb, crash, and kernel logs. Experience with virtualization (KVM, Xen) and container technologies (Docker, Kubernetes). Contributions to open-source projects or maintainership of kernel subsystems. Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for kernel testing and validation. Knowledge of firmware interfaces (UEFI, ACPI, Devicetree) and bootloaders (U-Boot, EDK2). Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 4+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR Master's degree in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 3+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. OR PhD in Engineering, Information Systems, Computer Science, or related field and 2+ years of Software Engineering or related work experience. 2+ years of work experience with Programming Language such as C, C++, Java, Python, etc.
