Embedded Engineer

Description:

An industry-leading semiconductor client is looking for a senior, experienced Embedded Engineer for a long-term contract, working fully from home (you can work from anywhere in Europe), on U-Boot and trusted firmware bootloader development for a next-generation high-end Cortex-A MPU.

This is genuine low-level bootloader / firmware work – not application-level Linux or straightforward integration. Ideal for someone who enjoys working close to the hardware and has real porting experience.

The opportunity

What you'll be doing

• Porting and bringing up U-Boot on a new SoC, working across the boot chain from early hardware bring-up

• U-Boot and/or Arm TF-A bootloader development (BL2 / BL3) on high-end Cortex-A / MPU architectures

• Contributing changes upstream through open-source processes

• Supporting the platform with BSP, Device Tree and embedded Linux work

The client is particularly interested in engineers with experience in:

• Embedded C and low-level development

• U-Boot and/or ARM TF-A bootloader development

• Open-source upstream processes

• Cortex-A / high-end MPU architectures – Renesas RZ or similar platforms

• Linux BSPs, Device Tree and embedded Linux

• Yocto and Linux kernel debugging

• Hardware bring-up and debug
