Perform Linux BSP bring-up on ARM-based automotive hardware.

Configure, customize and maintain the Linux kernel.

Develop and maintain Linux device drivers.

Develop and integrate drivers for display, touch, CAN/CAN-FD and other peripherals.

Work with DRM/KMS, display controller and graphics subsystems .

Develop and maintain Linux Device Tree configurations.

Integrate and configure bootloader, kernel and root filesystem.

Develop and integrate middleware components between platform and application layers.

Implement IPC mechanisms such as D-Bus, shared memory, sockets and message queues.

Integrate vehicle communication interfaces and CAN/CAN-FD stacks.

Support HMI and application teams with required platform APIs/services.

Analyse kernel crashes, deadlocks, memory issues, driver failures and system instability.

Perform boot-time and system-performance optimization.

Debug hardware/software integration issues using kernel logs, tracing and debugging tools.

Work closely with hardware teams for board bring-up and peripheral validation.

Participate in architecture discussions, code reviews and technical design activities.
