Linux Driver Development

Job Description:TI Processors has a strong and robust software development team focused on solving some of the most challenging technical problems in cutting edge Automotive and Industrial products. We believe that hardware and software advancements go hand in hand, and to give our customers seamless, integrated solutions, we need to drive cutting-edge innovations in both. If software is your passion, TI is the right place for you. Our software strategy rests on open source and community focused software development which allows you to connect with 1000s of like-minded engineers whose passion is to innovate and share! At TI, we believe in open software, we follow upstream first philosophy across Linux, u-boot, TFA or OPTEE. As a Software Engineer, you will be responsible for delivering high quality software that complies with upstreaming coding standard and meet technical requirements that scales across Linux on multiple TI SOCs. The work will deal with drivers' development for Boot loaders (u-boot), Linux, ATF, OPTEE including upstreaming, firmware integration, performance optimizations, SDK integration and final delivery. You will be part of team which will be solving problems across wide range of domains. Your role demands you to work across the lifecycle of a software products from requirement gathering, Design, coding and testing.Basic qualifications:1-2 years industry experience in software development on embedded devices.Bachelor's/Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics Engineering or equivalent.Skills needed:Programming experience in Embedded C and Embedded C++.Experience boot loader such as u-boot or UEFI.Experience in Linux driver development including understanding of device tree. Experience with Linux upstreaming process, preferable if you accepted patches in the mainline.Good understanding of boot flow on ARM based Heterogenous SOC.Good understanding of CPU and SOC architecture for MCUs and MPUsExperience in hands-on development and troubleshooting on embedded systems with tools like compilers and debuggers.Proficiency debugging embedded software systems including familiarity with UARTs, SPI, I2C, JTAG, and oscilloscopes.Python, Perl and Ruby scripting experience.Experience in methods to optimize SW development Experience with test frameworks.Strong Communication, documentation and writing skills.Concept of Continuous Integration using Jenkins.
