Embedded Linux Developer

Role Description

As an Embedded Linux Developer, you will take ownership of core software components that drive our next-generation electronic products. Your day-to-day responsibilities include working within the Linux kernel stack to configure, debug, and extend device drivers, modifying device trees to support new hardware, and integrating sensor and camera peripherals. You will design and build custom Yocto-based embedded Linux images, collaborate closely with hardware engineers to validate board bring-up, and contribute to middleware development in C++ for application-level functionality. You will ensure system performance, reliability, and security by performing kernel tuning, memory footprint optimization, and cross-functional code reviews.

Why This Position Is Unique

This role offers a rare combination of low-level Linux kernel work and real-time embedded systems development within an established professional electronics manufacturer. You will:
• Work in a hybrid format at our Budapest facility with access to state-of-the-art test labs and hardware prototyping tools.
• Influence product design from concept through production, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams across firmware, electronics, and software.
• Gain deep expertise in Yocto build systems, ARM architecture, and peripheral bus protocols (UART, I2C, SPI).
• Receive opportunities for professional growth through internal training and attendance at international conferences on Linux kernel development and embedded systems.
