The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in embedded systems, Linux kernel development, device drivers, and Board Support Package development, with hands-on experience working on NXP i.MX processor platforms. The candidate should be proficient in Yocto-based Linux build systems and have a deep understanding of hardware-software interfaces, device tree configurations, and low-level debugging.

What you will do:

• Lead the design, development and integration of Embedded Linux Board Support Packages (BSPs).
• Drive Linux kernel development, customization, configuration, debugging, and optimization.
• Work extensively with NXP i.MX processor families, including platform initialization, bootloader integration, and board-level software enablement.
• Develop, integrate, and debug Wi-Fi, display and USB drivers, ensuring reliable connectivity and display functionality.
• Maintaining/updating the embedded Linux Yocto distribution and develop and maintain Yocto-based build systems, including custom layers, recipes, kernel configurations, and image generation.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams to validate board designs, debug hardware-software integration issues, and resolve platform-level challenges.
• Perform hardware-level debugging using tools such as JTAG debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
• Analyze and optimize system boot time, memory utilization, CPU performance, and overall platform stability.
• Design and implement power management strategies for low-power embedded systems, including suspend/resume and power optimization.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD pipelines for embedded Linux development, including automated builds, integration testing, and release processes.
• Mentor engineers and provide technical guidance across BSP, kernel, and embedded platform development activities.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s/master’s degree in Electronics and Communication, Embedded system, Electrical /Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• 7 to 9 years of total professional in embedded systems.
• Strong experience in embedded systems development on NXP i.MX processor families.
• Strong understanding of embedded boot processes, including Boot ROM, U-Boot, Linux boot flow, and root filesystem initialization.

Work Flexibility

• Remote – Role allows you to work the majority to 100% of time from an alternate workplace. These roles could have travel expectations, and you must work within the country of the job requisition location.

• Field-based – You can expect to regularly work a majority to 100% of time at customer facilities and has a set territory or expectation to travel within a set boundary. Almost all sales roles would likely be qualified as field-based.

• Onsite – Role is 100% located at a Stryker facility. Some ad hoc flexibility may be available depending on role, level, and job requirements. Manufacturing roles and any role that requires physical presence at the office would qualify under this category.

• Hybrid – You can expect to regularly work in both an alternate workplace and a Stryker facility. Roles that are partially remote or co-located would qualify as hybrid, and the expectation to be onsite would be defined and agreed upon by your manager/supervisor.
