Arbetsbeskrivning

Do you want to work with the latest technologies and highly skilled colleagues, at a world leading company? Then you might be the one we are looking for to join us at Technologies, one of the departments within Axis R&D, with responsibility for developing Axis product platforms that are the base for all Axis Video Surveillance Products.

Who is your future team?

Product Platforms is a key part of the Technologies department at Axis R&D. The organization consists of several highly skilled and motivated R&D teams, with a strong presence in Lund and since a couple of months an established kernel-focused team in Stockholm. Our teams value personal growth, collaboration, and teamwork. If you're someone who enjoys making an impact and contributing to positive change, you'll feel right at home with us.

The Product Platforms team in Stockholm is a small but growing team that will play an important role in developing and configuring software for Axis' new technology platforms based on our in-house engineered ARTPEC system-on-chips, used in the next generations of video surveillance products. The team currently consists of three engineers and is in an active growth phase, with a clear ambition to take increased technical responsibility over time.

The platforms we develop are Linux-based, and development as well as validation takes place in a Linux environment. The work spans requirements, design, implementation, and validation of core platform areas such as the boot process, security, and CPU subsystem. The Stockholm team works in close collaboration with the larger and more established Product Platforms teams in Lund, as well as with the ASIC team located in Stockholm, forming a tightly integrated distributed team.

What you'll do here as Senior Linux Kernel Engineer?

In your daily work, you will typically engage in the following activities:

• Collaborate with ASIC design engineers to research and develop solutions for Axis´ ASIC and product platforms, in particular the SW aspects

• Participate in design reviews, technical discussions and specifications to ensure the quality and feasibility of solutions.

• Design, implement or utilize test environments needed to validate and/or optimize our solution designs

• Prepare SW for and participate in bring-up and validation of our SoCs. This includes debugging issues and implementing solutions.

• Evaluation of hardware blocks, platforms and related documentation (mainly from a SW perspective, Linux kernel in particular)

• Interact with internal and external teams (e.g. customers, partners or suppliers)

• Participate in development and maintenance of existing Linux kernel platforms (e.g. previously developed platforms and products)

In this role, you will (together with skilled colleagues) mainly be working in the following areas:

• IP evaluation and selection (primary responsibility)

• All kind of engineering activities related to Linux kernel development (e.g. driver development, kernel configuration, upstream activities, provide domain expertise to other teams, etc)

Who are we looking for/Who are you?

You are an analytic and dedicated person with a strong personal drive and an ability to work both unsupervised and as a part of a team. You have the ability to think ahead and understand and manage consequences of complex decisions or findings. You are good at collaborating with people with different backgrounds (e.g. ASIC engineers, other SW teams, external partners and managers) and have a strong attention to detail.

Required qualifications:

• A master's degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, electrical engineering or similar

• Background in Linux kernel development

• Experience in embedded C development and debugging, particularly close to hardware

• Familiarity with version control systems and code review tools (Git and Gerrit)

Additional valuable qualifications:

• Experience in working with Linux kernel upstream

• Background including SoC design work from a SW perspective

• ASIC IP configuration experience

• A good understanding of the boot process of embedded devices

• Basic understanding of ASIC design

• Experience from using QEMU as a tool to make a system simulation environment

• Experience with Python and Rust development

The position is office-based and you will be located in Axis office in Stockholm, Sweden.
