Key Responsibilities
1. Kernel Lifecycle & Maintenance
Upstream Alignment: Lead the strategy for upgrading enterprise kernels (e.g., migrating from LTS 5.15 to 6.6) while maintaining binary compatibility where required.
Patch Porting: Expertly port functional and performance patches between disparate kernel versions, resolving complex code conflicts and API changes.
CVE Mitigation: Monitor the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) and security advisories to identify and backport CVE patches from upstream to production environments.
2. Deep-Dive Debugging & Stability
Panic Analysis: Act as the final escalation point for Kernel Panics and "Oops" messages. Utilize kdump, crash, and gdb to perform post-mortem analysis of vmcores.
Boot-Time Resolution: Debug critical failures during the early boot process (UEFI handoff, initramfs, and early kernel init) where standard logging is unavailable.
Performance Tuning: Use ebpf, ftrace, and perf to identify bottlenecks in memory management, scheduler latency, or I/O throughput.
3. Driver Development & Hardware Integration
Driver Ownership: Design, develop, or maintain at least one Open Source or Proprietary Device Driver (Network, Storage, GPU, or Character devices).
Hardware Abstraction: Interface directly with hardware registers, managing DMA mappings, and optimizing interrupt handling (MSI-X, Threaded IRQs).
Out-of-Tree Management: Maintain driver compatibility across kernel updates using DKMS or similar frameworks.
4. Infrastructure & Automation
Registry Management: Oversee the distribution of custom kernel builds and modules via GitLab Container/Package Registries.
CI/CD for Kernel: Build automated testing pipelines (Hardware-in-the-loop) to validate kernel stability before enterprise-wide deployment.
Required Technical Skills:
Languages: Mastery of C/C++ Programming (C is preferred)
Kernel Internals: Deep understanding of VFS, Memory Management (MMU/Paging), Process Scheduling, and Networking Stacks.
Debugging Tools: Expert-level use of kprobes, trace-cmd, valgrind, and hardware-level debuggers (JTAG/Serial Console).
Build Systems: Proficiency with Kbuild, Makefiles, and building RPM/Debian packages for kernel distribution.
Security: Hands-on experience with SELinux/AppArmor policy development and kernel hardening (FIPS, KSPP).
Required Skills:
- 4+ years of experience in embedded software development.
- 2 - 4 years of hands-on experience in C/C++ programming.
- Knowledge of TCP/IP internals and common network protocols such as DHCP, DNS, IPV4/IPV6, NAT
- In-depth knowledge of Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols (Ethernet, IP, TCP/UDP, MPLS, BGP, OSPF)
- In-depth knowledge of RDK-B architecture, TR-069/TR-181, and networking stacks
- Work on TR-069, TR-181 data models, and DOCSIS / DSL / GPON technologies
- Experience and knowledge on IEEE802.11/Wi-Fi protocols such as WPA, RADIUS, WPS, 802.11n/ac/ax/be, mesh networking
