About this role

Jabil is hiring an Embedded Linux Software Engineer to work across the full embedded software stack. The role focuses on kernel configuration, device trees, driver development (especially ALSA audio), and system integration including PCIe communication and board bring-up on modern SoCs.

Key Responsibilities

Develop, configure, and maintain embedded Linux-based systems
Configure and modify Linux kernel components (device trees and subsystem configurations)
Work with kernel drivers, especially ALSA, ensuring compatibility and performance
Implement and troubleshoot PCIe communication between system components
Support board bring-up and system integration on ZynQ MPSoCs and NVIDIA Tegra

Technical Overview

You will build and maintain Embedded Linux-based systems using Yocto Linux for custom builds, layers, and recipes. Responsibilities include Linux kernel configuration and patching, device tree work, developing kernel drivers for ALSA audio, and implementing/troubleshooting PCIe communication for platforms such as AMD ZynQ MPSoCs and NVIDIA Tegra (Petalinux is a plus).

Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is an embedded software engineer with strong hands-on experience in Embedded Linux-based systems, including Yocto Linux (layers and recipes) and Linux kernel configuration (device trees, kernel config, patches). They have worked with Linux kernel device drivers with particular familiarity with ALSA audio and have implemented or debugged PCIe communication and board bring-up on SoC platforms such as AMD ZynQ MPSoCs and/or NVIDIA Tegra.
