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).
