What You’ll Be Doing:
* Embedded Linux development for FPGA-based systems (Xilinx Zynq)
* Linux kernel and driver development, hypervisor integration, and power management
* Contributing to open-source tooling and maintaining system reliability at low level
* Working across full project lifecycle - from whiteboard to customer delivery
* Close collaboration with architecture, hardware and silicon design teams
What We’re Looking For:
* 5+ years of embedded software development experience
* Strong background in Linux internals, kernel development, and low-level debugging
* Experience working with RISC-V or ARM-based SoCs
* Knowledge of FPGA platforms (ideally Xilinx Zynq) and hardware/software integration
* Familiarity with hypervisors, power optimisation, and open-source development environments
* Someone eager to take ownership, solve challenging problems, and grow with the team
This is a technically challenging role with real scope to deepen your expertise and influence key design decisions. The team operates on a hybrid basis (2–3 days onsite), with a solid benefits package including bonus, pension, health insurance, and employee share options.
