Job Description:

As a Software Engineer on the Platforms team (Operating System), you will own, evolve, and maintain the Linux/Yocto‑based OS that runs on 1X’s fleet of humanoid robots. You will work closely with hardware, firmware, AI, and production teams to bring up new boards and peripherals, improve system stability, and ensure the OS meets production‑grade requirements. Your contributions will directly impact the capability, reliability, and scalability of our robotic platforms.

Job Responsibility:

Own and evolve our Yocto‑based Linux distribution across multiple embedded platforms
Build tools, abstractions, and documentation to make the OS easier for teams to develop on
Add and maintain features in the OS layer—ranging from kernel patches to system services
Collaborate with hardware and software teams to bring up new boards and integrate peripherals
Debug and fix issues spanning bootloaders, device trees, kernel, and userspace
Ensure OS images are stable, reproducible, and suitable for both development and production use

Requirements:

Deep experience with Yocto and maintaining custom layers and recipes
Strong understanding of Linux system architecture, including kernel and init systems
Comfortable working with board bring‑up, device trees, and low‑level debugging
Track record of supporting embedded platforms in production environments
Ability to manage complexity across board support packages (BSPs), build artifacts, and deployment flows

Nice to have:

Familiarity with SoCs like Jetson, Qualcomm, or similar in Yocto‑based setups
Experience with OTA updates, secure boot, or factory provisioning
Comfortable extending or customizing bootloaders and initramfs
Knowledge of real‑time kernel patches, thermal tuning, or power management
Experience building tooling around Yocto to improve workflows for ease of team usage
