Senior Embedded Systems Software Engineer (m/w/d) at mobileye

Mobileye is looking for a passionate Systems Software Developer to join the Operating System Team in the EyeQ Platform Software Group. While many work on Linux, we work in Linux. Our team is responsible for the core OS DNA of the EyeQ computer vision SoC, defining how the system starts, updates, and manages its lifecycle in a high-performance automotive environment.  We are looking for an expert to join our Core Distribution team. This role moves beyond tooling and automation, focusing on the development of the Linux userspace itself. You will be responsible for architecting and implementing critical system components, including custom boot-sequence logic, robust update frameworks, and low-level system services that ensure our platform is secure, fast, and reliable.  What will your job look like • Architect and develop the Linux startup and service management framework optimized for embedded constraints. • Design and implement robust Over-the-Air (FOTA) software update mechanisms and fail-safe recovery systems. • Develop low-level userspace applications and daemons in C/C++ that interact directly with the kernel and hardware. • Optimize system boot time and resource utilization through deep analysis of the execution chain. • Own the system lifecycle, from the first instruction in userspace to a fully operational automotive safety system. • Perform root cause analysis on complex system-level crashes, memory leaks, and race conditions within the distribution. • Collaborate on board bring-up, ensuring the distribution is tailored to the specific requirements of new EyeQ generations. All you need is: • Outstanding graduate in Computer Science or similar field • 5+ years of experience in Embedded Linux development, with a focus on systems programming - Must. • Expert-level C/C++ programming skills and a deep understanding of POSIX APIs, multi-threading, and IPC. • Deep knowledge of Linux Internals, specifically the boot process (Bootloaders, Kernel hand-off, Init systems). • Hands-on experience with Embedded Linux Distributions (e.g., custom Yocto recipes, Buildroot, or Linux-from-scratch). • Experience with Software Update strategies (A/B partitioning, delta updates, atomic installs). • Proficiency in debugging tools like GDB, Valgrind, strace, and perf. • Experience with Python for rapid prototyping and automation. • Background in Automotive Software (ISO 26262, Adaptive AUTOSAR). • Knowledge of Security concepts (Secure Boot, DM-Verity, Trusted Execution Environments). • Contributions to Open Source projects (Kernel, busybox, or system libraries). Mobileye changes the way we drive, from preventing accidents to semi and fully autonomous vehicles. If you are an excellent, bright, hands-on person with a passion to make a difference come to lead the revolution!
