We are developing an embedded compute module based on NXP i.MX8MP, designed for real-time video capture and processing in constrained field environments.

You will take full ownership of the Linux software stack - including BSP, kernel, device tree, userspace services, and the entire video/networking pipeline.

This role offers deep technical challenges and the opportunity to influence the architecture of a core embedded platform deployed in mission-critical systems.

Responsibilities

Board Support Package & Kernel

Maintain and extend the Linux BSP for NXP i.MX8MP (U-Boot, kernel, device tree, low-level drivers).
Bring up and debug new hardware revisions.
Tune and configure drivers / DT for CSI camera interfaces, I²C/SPI devices, GPIOs, and storage subsystems.
Improve system boot time, robustness, and recovery mechanisms.

Yocto & System Distribution

Maintain Yocto layers, recipes, and configurations for a custom embedded distribution.
Integrate and patch third-party components (e.g., GStreamer, networking tools, debugging utilities).
Ensure reproducible builds and a clean separation between BSP and application layers.

Video & Streaming Pipeline

Implement and debug GStreamer pipelines for:
CSI v4l2 video capture
H.264 hardware-accelerated encoding
real-time streaming
SD-card recording
Profile and optimize CPU/GPU/VPU performance, bandwidth usage, and pipeline latency.

System Services & Reliability

Design and maintain systemd services (recorders, watchdogs, monitoring).
Handle power events, removable storage, degraded I/O conditions, and error recovery.
Add system health monitoring, structured logging, and field diagnostics.

Networking & Integration

Configure and debug network links for high throughput and low latency.
Integrate the compute module with auxiliary modules via UART and similar interfaces.
Collaborate with MCU/firmware developers on communication protocols and update workflows.

Tooling & Bring-Up

Develop CLI tools and automation scripts (Bash/Python) for flashing, testing, diagnostics.
Maintain clear technical documentation for bring-up, updates, and troubleshooting.

Requirements

Nice to Have

Direct experience with NXP i.MX8MP or similar multimedia SoCs.
Experience with wireless links in constrained or outdoor setups.
Knowledge of OTA update frameworks (SWUpdate, Mender, etc.) — including A/B slots and rollback strategies.
Exposure to UAV / robotics systems (MAVLink, telemetry, UDP streams).
Experience with OpenWrt, Armbian, or other embedded Linux distros.
Python for tooling, log parsing, and utilities.
Experience working with MCUs (e.g., STM32) and managing firmware updates from Linux.
Background in field-deployed systems requiring high reliability and observability.

Personal Profile

Methodical and evidence-driven - rely on logs, measurements, and tests rather than assumptions.
Comfortable working end-to-end, from bootloader and kernel to services and scripting.
Ready to take ownership of a complex embedded Linux platform and keep it robust, debuggable, and maintainable.
Enjoy solving challenging problems in tightly constrained environments.
