Embedded SW Engineer, Common Core Platform, Lund

Do you want to work with the latest technologies and highly skilled colleagues, at a world leading company? Then you might be the one we are looking for to join us at Technologies, one of the departments within Axis R&D, with responsibility for developing Axis product platforms that are the base for all Axis Video Surveillance Products.

Who is your future team?

The recruiting team “Common Core Platform” consist of two distinct functional teams, each possessing strong technical expertise. Members of both teams prioritize both personal development and collaborative teamwork.

The Platform Security team designs and implements core software blocks for Axis boot, firmware handling, and cyber security. The deliverables of the team are a crucial part of the Axis Product Platform and are used across the Axis product portfolio. The team applies “security first” approach in their daily work including methods like e.g. threat modelling. The team is also the first one to get hold of the very first chip samples that arrive to Axis with the task to get them up and running (activity called bring-up) and enabling other teams to start their work.

The Kernel team serves as Axis' primary hub for kernel development, overseeing the configuration and development of Linux kernel and drivers for both Axis's in-house designed SoCs and those from external vendors and other hardware blocks or components. One primary responsibility of the team involves configuring and optimizing the CPU subsystem of our platforms to achieve stability and optimal performance. Additionally, the team plays a significant role in the bring-up and validation of our hardware platforms, ensuring the proper functionality of components such as Ethernet, eMMC, PCIe, DDR, and many other hardware blocks.

What you’ll do here as an Embedded Software Engineer

The position is hands-on and in one of the very skilled teams where you will be involved in e.g. the following activities:

• Experimenting and developing new functionality to enhance our platform portfolio
• Optimizing our embedded system performance
• Complex bug hunting
• Evaluation of hardware blocks and platforms (e.g. from performance and/or security perspective)
• Specification and validation of Axis ASICs and HW reference platforms
• Interact with internal and external teams (e.g. customers, partners or suppliers)
• Development work for the functional team (e.g. Linux kernel or boot loaders)

Who are you?

You are an analytic and dedicated person with a strong personal drive, an eye for details, and an ability to work both unsupervised and as a part of a team. You enjoy working hands-on with writing code and debugging IoT devices. You possess foresight and can develop solutions that are resilient to future challenges.

We'd love to hear that you have/are:

Background applicable to all candidates:

• Master’s degree in computer science, physics, mathematics, electrical engineering or similar
• Experience from embedded C development close to hardware
• Knowledge of Git, Gerrit, and Jenkins

Prior experience of, and interest in, working with initializing and validating memory sub-systems (memory controllers, memory bus, DRAM) is a strong merit.

Moreover, prior experience with boot processes, cybersecurity features, or Linux kernel development would also be advantageous.

Examples of relevant skills within these domains:

• Experience in programming for embedded Linux
• Skills in Linux kernel and device driver frameworks
• Upstream Linux kernel work
• Linux device driver development
• Trusted Firmware and Trusted Execution Environment
• Boot and boot loaders
• Secure boot through all boot stages
• Tuning, validation and debugging of memory sub-systems
• Hardware-based security (e.g. Trusted Platform Module or Secure Element)
• Firmware for crypto subsystems
• Knowledge within secure development and testing
   

The position is office-based and you will be located in Axis HQ in Lund, Sweden.
