Software Engineer Linux SDK RISC-V MPU Platform (BB50FT RM 4209)

Position: Software Engineer / Senior Software Engineer Linux SDK RISC-V MPU Platform (BB50FT RM 4209)

Role : To Build the Linux foundation for a next-gen RISC-V MPU platform.

Key Responsibilities

• Linux SDK development & validation: build, enable, and release a production-quality SDK for a 64-bit RISC V MPU.
  o Develop and maintain a Linux SDK for a 64-bit RISC V MPU.
  o Enable the boot and firmware stack (boot flow, early platform initialization, U Boot, OpenSBI).
  o Drive Linux kernel/BSP enablement: SoC bring-up, Device Tree, CPU/memory/interrupt subsystems.
  o Develop and debug device drivers (multimedia, connectivity, DMA, power/clock/reset, platform services).
  o Deliver SDK releases: integration, validation, and developer-facing documentation.
• Pre- & post-silicon validation (AVV): create tests, validate on FPGA/first silicon, and unblock teams through system-level debug.
  o Contribute to pre-silicon validation using FPGA, emulation, and virtual platforms.
  o Develop platform tests and validate on FPGA/first silicon; root-cause issues across HW/FW/kernel.
• Cross-functional execution: work day-to-day with architects, hardware, and safety teams to land features and de-risk schedules.
  o Partner with system architects, hardware, and safety teams to define requirements and execution plans.
  o Provide bring-up and validation feedback that influences next-gen RISC V CPU/SoC features.
  o Align with internal and external stakeholders on roadmaps, deliverables, and release readiness.
• Customer & ecosystem engagement: support early adopters and contribute fixes upstream when appropriate.
  o Work with OEMs/Tier 1s during early enablement, bring-up, and SDK adoption; upstream fixes where it makes sense.

Required Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech or M.E./M.Tech in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong experience (typically 5+ years) in Embedded Linux platform/BSP development.
• Expert-level C programming; comfortable reading low-level firmware and kernel code.
• Strong Linux internals knowledge: boot flow, memory management/MMU, interrupts, SMP.
• Hands-on SoC/platform bring-up experience and ownership mindset for BSP quality.
• Hands-on with U Boot, Linux kernel, Device Tree, and Yocto/OpenEmbedded.
• Strong debugging skills with GDB and at least one of OpenOCD/JTAG, Lauterbach, or similar tools.
• Experience working on FPGA, emulation, or early-silicon platforms.

Good to Have

• RISC V (RV64) experience or strong exposure to other application-class CPU architectures.
• Background in pre-silicon/FPGA validation or post-silicon debug and triage.
• Experience with multimedia subsystems (camera, display, audio) and their Linux stacks.
• Familiarity with platform security (secure boot, trusted firmware, firmware/OS boundaries).
• Experience with QEMU, virtual platforms, or emulation workflows.
• Exposure to CI/CD and automated validation (test frameworks, dashboards, regressions).
