Fortaegis, a fast-scaling semiconductor company, is seeking an experienced Embedded Linux / Firmware Engineer to develop robust and secure low-level software for revolutionary products, from boot chain through kernel. The role spans the full development lifecycle, from pre-silicon validation to post-silicon bring-up, and requires 5+ years of firmware and embedded software experience with strong ARM Cortex-A and Linux kernel expertise.

What you'll do

Design, develop, and debug firmware and low-level system software for ARM Cortex-A based SoCs and their associated peripherals.
Develop and maintain Linux kernel code: device drivers, device tree, and platform and bus level integration for new silicon.
Implement and execute comprehensive unit testing strategies to ensure code quality and reliability.
Actively participate in both pre-silicon and post-silicon validation and bring-up activities, including work on emulation and FPGA prototyping platforms.
Collaborate closely with hardware and architecture teams to define specifications, troubleshoot issues, and optimize performance.
Contribute to the design and implementation of secure firmware features across the software stack.
Develop high-quality, well-documented APIs and maintain strong design principles throughout the development process.
Work effectively within a collaborative team environment, sharing knowledge and best practices.
Develop and integrate the TCP/IP networking stack on the kernel side, including network device drivers and packet datapath work.
