For more than four decades, the company has been an innovator and pioneer, powering billions of systems that require the highest levels of security, safety, and reliability.\nWind River helps customers across automotive, aerospace, defense, industrial, medical, and telecommunications industries solve complex technology challenges on their journey toward the new intelligent machine economy. The company’s software powers generation after generation of the safest, most secure systems in the world. Examples include playing a key role in NASA space missions such as Artemis I, the James Webb Space Telescope, and multiple Mars rovers. We’ve achieved recent 5G milestones including the world’s first successful 5G data session with Verizon and building one of the largest Open RAN networks in the world with Vodafone.\nThe company has received industry recognition for its technology innovation and leadership, and for its workplace culture, including global Great Place to Work certification and being named a “Top Workplace” for ten consecutive years. If you want to be part of a unique culture where the lived experience is based on our cultural attributes of growth mindset, customer-focus, and diversity, equity, inclusion & belonging, come join us and help advance the future software defined world.\nAbout the Role\nAs a Member of Technical Staff on the Wind River Linux team, you're the senior technical anchor for a safety-critical embedded Linux platform - and this is a build-and-deciderole, not a keep-it-running one. You own the architecture-level calls across the Yocto build system, Linux kernel, and multiple BSPs; you drive where we go upstream; and you build the engineering workflows the whole team runs on. Yes, you'll keep the platform solid - but the reason this role exists is to move it forward: the tooling migration, the AI-native engineering stack, the upstream strategy, and the cross-layer problems no single track owner can close.\nYou're the person the team leans on when a problem spans the kernel, the BSP, the build system, and a customer's field deployment all at once - and the one who decides how we solve that class of problem for good, not just this once.\nWhat You'll Do\nLinux Kernel & Low-Level Development\nDrive determinism, real-time (PREEMPT_RT), and reliability improvements that hold up under safety-critical scrutiny - you set the technical bar here.\nDebug the deepest kernel, driver, networking, and boot issues across ARM/x86 (and PPC/RISC-V where relevant) with GDB, JTAG, ftrace, and perf.\nOwn kernel maintenance across LTS lines as the baseline - backports, CVE remediation, -stable rebases, local-patch discipline - and, more importantly, decide the strategy that shrinks that burden over time.\nMulti-BSP & Yocto Build System\nOwn the Yocto/OpenEmbedded architecture - layers, templates, recipe design, and the build-farm topology that produces the release matrix.\nServe as the technical expert across multiple BSPs (Intel x86, ARM/Zynq MP, NXP i.MX, TI, NVIDIA Tegra, and the growing edge-AI board set): machine configs, kernel provider resolution, layer architecture, and platform bring-up.\nResolve the cross-layer, cross-repo problems (recipe + BSP + kernel + template) that no single track owner can close alone.\nBuild the Way the Team Works\nDrive AI-native engineering - CVE triage, test generation, build diagnosis - as the person who buildsthe workflows the team runs on, not just consumes them.\nMake and own the architecture calls on the tooling migration: source host, CI, issue tracking, and the CVE-automation stack.\nOwn the reliability of release-critical systems - OOBE/Sanity gates, the CVE-verification pipeline, SBOM/IP flow, and the CI that ties them together.\nOSS & Upstream\nDefine and drive the upstream strategy - what we push upstream vs. carry as local patches - and represent WRLinux's technical direction in OSS communities.\nChampion upstream-first CVE handling.\nTechnical Leadership & Mentoring\nProvide technical direction, design reviews, and code reviews that raise the whole team's bar.\nMentor engineers and compress their ramp-up under an AI-paired model.\nRemove single points of failure by documenting and systematizing product knowledge.\nSupport customer escalations as the deep technical specialist of last resort.\nWhat You Bring\nBE/BTech or ME/MTech in CS/ECE/EE or equivalent; 8-12 years in embedded Linux.\nDeep expertise in Linux kernel (architecture, drivers, debugging) and C; strong Python for tooling/automation; C++ a plus.\nExtensive hands-on Yocto/OpenEmbedded and BSP experience, multi-board bring-up, layer/recipe architecture, hardware-software integration.\nProven technical leadership and mentoring of engineering teams.\nStrong debugging with GDB, JTAG, kernel tracing, and performance tooling.\nFamiliarity with ARM/x86 (PPC/RISC-V a plus), networking, and virtualization.\nAgile + CI/CD fluency; Git/Linux daily driver.\nExcellent communication and cross-functional stakeholder skills; effective in a globally distributed team.\nNice to Have\nOSS/upstream contribution track record (kernel or Yocto layers).\nEdge-AI inference stacks on embedded silicon (TensorRT, OpenVINO, ONNX Runtime, TF Lite) \nWHY JOIN US?\nIn a world increasingly driven by software innovation, Wind River is pioneering the technologies that accelerate the digital transformation of our customers with a new generation of mission-critical AI systems-built for an AI-first world with the most exacting safety, security, performance, and reliability standards.
