Job Summary:
At Teledyne FLIR, we’re building the future of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for defense and security missions. Our Rogue 1 drone platform is redefining tactical robotics, and we’re looking for a Senior Embedded Linux Engineer to help drive its evolution. In this role, you’ll work at the core of our embedded Linux platform—integrating NVIDIA Jetson modules, camera systems, and real-time software that enables autonomous flight. You’ll collaborate closely with a multidisciplinary team and work hands-on with cutting-edge hardware, from MIPI‑CSI sensors to custom Yocto-based Linux builds. If you enjoy solving challenging system-level problems and working where software meets hardware, this role offers the chance to make a real impact.
Primary Job Duties and Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain Yocto-based embedded Linux distributions, including custom layers, recipes, and BSP integration
Configure and optimize the Linux kernel, UEFI boot configuration, device trees, and root filesystems for JetPack 6 (L4T)
Implement and debug Linux device drivers, including camera drivers, kernel modules, and low-level peripheral interfaces (I2C, SPI, UART, USB)
Bring up and tune MIPI-CSI camera systems, including sensor drivers, NVCSI, ISP integration, and synchronization
Develop and optimize video capture, encoding, and streaming pipelines using V4L2, GStreamer, NvArgus, and hardware-accelerated codecs
Integrate software with custom embedded hardware, collaborating closely with electrical, mechanical, and flight test teams
Build and support C/C++ and Python components used in real-time control systems and application-level software
Debug system-level issues using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and Linux profiling tools (perf, strace, top, etc.)
Use Git/Bitbucket, Jenkins, and Docker to support CI/CD workflows and automated build/test systems
Provide support for STM32-based firmware and microcontroller systems as needed
Job Qualifications:
BS in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field strongly preferred.
8+ years of experience in embedded software development
Strong proficiency in C/C++ and experience with Linux user space and kernel-level development
Hands-on experience with embedded Linux, kernel configuration, device trees, and Yocto-based build systems
Experience with NVIDIA Jetson platforms (JetPack 6 / L4T), including camera drivers, multimedia frameworks, or GPU/ISP integration
Familiarity with Docker, Git/Bitbucket, and CI tools such as Jenkins
Familiarity with RTOS environments and real-time constraints
Experience with MIPI-CSI camera bring-up, sensor configuration, and ISP tuning preferred
Background in video pipelines, including V4L2, Argus, GStreamer, and H.264/H.265 encoding preferred
Experience debugging hardware/software interactions across multiple subsystems preferred
Background in robotics, aerospace, or autonomous systems preferred
Applicants must be either a U.S. citizen, U.S. national, legal permanent resident, asylee, refugee or must be eligible to apply for and obtain the appropriate export control license from the U.S. Departments of State or Commerce.
