About the Role You’re Considering

Join us in shaping the future of aviation technology! You’ll support the development of a cutting-edge, high-performance AI storage module designed for aircraft. This role focuses on the foundational layers of the infrastructure stack—firmware, BIOS/UEFI, bootloaders, and board support packages (BSP)—ensuring a robust platform for Linux-based operating systems and advanced PaaS functionality across heterogeneous hardware (x86, ARM, and specialized accelerators).

Your Role

Firmware & BIOS

+ Lead board bring-up for P0 or first-iteration hardware.

+ Perform validation using evaluation boards.

+ Customize and maintain BIOS/UEFI to meet platform requirements.

+ Implement and verify Power-On Self-Test (POST) functionality.

+ Provide minimal hardware initialization for Linux kernel boot.

Bootloader Development

+ Adapt bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot, Coreboot, EDK II) for hardware initialization and kernel loading.

+ Enable external storage access, RAMFS setup, and kernel/root handoff.

+ Optimize boot performance and troubleshoot boot sequence issues.

BSP & Board Bring-Up

+ Develop and integrate BSPs for x86 platforms.

+ Perform board bring-up, validation, and debugging on evaluation and target hardware.

+ Port and configure kernel/device-tree for new boards.

Platform Enablement

+ Support Linux-based OS integration on bare metal.

+ Ensure compatibility across mixed architectures (ARM, AMD64, accelerators).

+ Build diagnostic tools for firmware and hardware readiness.

Collaboration & Documentation

+ Partner with hardware, PaaS, and DevOps teams to align low-level firmware with platform needs.

+ Document BIOS/bootloader changes, BSP configurations, and bring-up procedures.

+ Provide training, knowledge transfer, and technical support for internal teams.

Deliverables

+ BIOS/bootloader images enabling Linux boot on target platforms.

+ BSPs for supported hardware platforms.

+ Firmware validation and bring-up test tools.

+ Comprehensive documentation of initialization sequences, firmware setup, and deployment.

Your Skills and Experience

+ Proven experience with firmware, BIOS/UEFI, and bootloader development.

+ Strong understanding of Linux kernel boot flow and hardware initialization.

+ Expertise in BSP development for x86 architectures.

+ Proficiency in C/C , embedded systems debugging, and low-level programming.

+ Familiarity with hardware bring-up using JTAG, serial console, and oscilloscopes.

+ Experience with storage devices (eMMC, NVMe, SATA, SD) and root filesystem setup.

Nice to Have

+ Knowledge of secure boot, TPM, and firmware security practices.

+ Familiarity with cloud/edge IaaS environments.

+ Understanding of specialized accelerators, heterogeneous compute, or SoC platforms.

+ Exposure to CI/CD for firmware and embedded builds.
