Research Engineer - CI/CD with Yocto

Job description:
The Role Mandate
As Research Engineer – CI/CD, Yocto for Advanced System Integration, you will implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines, build automation and integration workflows for embedded Linux platforms. You will develop Python and Shell automation, improve build performance and pipeline stability, manage Git-based workflows, and debug compilation, linker, build and integration issues in collaboration with architects and engineers.
Why This Role – What You Gain
Hands-on build automation
Develop practical CI/CD solutions, scripts and reusable build utilities.
Measurable engineering impact
Improve build efficiency, reliability, pipeline stability and integration quality.
Embedded-platform depth
Work across Linux internals, build tools, integration workflows and real devices.
Architecture collaboration
Implement solutions with architects, platform teams and embedded engineers.
The Larger Impact
• Improve CI/CD reliability and engineering productivity for embedded Linux build environments.
• Automate build and integration workflows using Python, Shell scripting, Jenkins and Git.
• Enable faster diagnosis and resolution of build, compilation, linker and integration failures.
• Support the broader program goals for build-time reduction, platform integration and Yocto-based modernization.
Key Responsibilities
CI/CD and Build Automation
• Implement, maintain and enhance CI/CD pipelines for embedded Linux build systems.
• Develop Python and Shell scripts for build modules, automation utilities, log processing and integration workflows.
• Manage Git-based development, branching and CI/CD integration workflows.
• Improve pipeline stability, build reliability, failure recovery and automation maintainability.
• Work with Jenkins and embedded build environments to support repeatable integration and validation activities.
• Collaborate with architects and engineers to translate build and integration needs into working automation.
Build Engineering and Integration
• Improve build performance and contribute to build-time reduction initiatives.
• Debug embedded Linux build and integration issues across compilation, linking, packaging and configuration stages.
• Use C/C++ knowledge and GDB to trace and patch compilation, linker and system-integration failures.
• Work with build tools such as CMake and Bazel in large-scale embedded build environments.
• Support Yocto/OpenEmbedded activities involving BitBake, layers and recipes where required.
• Troubleshoot embedded Linux graphics and media stack issues (e.g., rendering, playback, HW acceleration).
• Support integration workflows and platform stability while working with BSP, platform and product teams.
How the Role Works
The Research Engineer works with Research Architects, platform engineers and embedded-system specialists to implement automation, resolve failures and improve build and integration workflows. The role is execution-focused and requires practical scripting, debugging and continuous-improvement capability.
Mandatory Skills and Experience͏
4-8 years of experience in Embedded Linux, build systems, CI/CD or platform integration.
Experience in embedded build automation, integration workflows, build tools and embedded build environments.
Understanding of Linux internals on embedded platforms.
Strong practical experience in build automation using Python, Shell scripting and Git.
Experience with Jenkins or comparable CI/CD pipelines and Git-based workflows.
C/C++ debugging background covering compilation, linker and integration failures.
Hands-on exposure to CMake, Bazel and debugging tools such as GDB.
Ability to troubleshoot embedded Linux graphics and media-stack issues, including rendering, playback and hardware acceleration.
Preferred / Good to Have͏
• Experience with Yocto/OpenEmbedded, including BitBake, layers and recipes.
• Experience on embedded platforms such as TV, set-top box, automotive or similar products.
• Exposure to BSP bring-up and low-level embedded Linux debugging.
• Experience with large-scale build-system or platform migration activities.
• Exposure to graphics or media-stack integration and troubleshooting on embedded Linux.
Educational Qualification͏
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electronics, Embedded Systems, or a related engineering discipline, or equivalent relevant experience.
What Success Looks Like͏
• CI/CD pipelines are stable, maintainable and support reliable embedded Linux build execution.
• Python and Shell automation reduces repetitive effort and improves build and integration workflows.
• Build failures, compilation errors, linker issues and integration problems are diagnosed and resolved effectively.
• Git-based workflows and automation support consistent integration across engineering teams.
• Build-time and pipeline-performance improvements are demonstrated through implemented changes.
• Yocto, build-tool and embedded-platform knowledge grows through hands-on delivery and collaboration.
