Our mission is to transform how people and machines work together to push the boundaries of human productivity. A leader in Industrial AI, Augury helps the world’s manufacturers leverage real-time production insights to drive new levels of efficiency. Combining predictive and prescriptive AI technology with industry expertise, production teams can proactively address alerts, minimize downtime, reduce asset costs, and maximize yield and capacity. Our customers achieve payback in six months or less, enabling global scale. We're looking for team members excited to partner with the world's manufacturers and build the future of production together.
We’re looking for an IoT Embedded Linux engineer to design, build, and own the software stack that powers our edge devices in the field. You’ll craft resilient Linux-based systems (from bootloader to application), ensure secure and reliable connectivity to the cloud, and work closely with hardware, manufacturing, and backend teams to deliver production-ready devices at scale.
A Day In Your Life- Own the embedded Linux platform: BSP, kernel configuration, device tree, bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), systemd services, and startup/upgrade flows.
- Develop user-space applications using object-oriented principles (C++/Go/Rust/Similar) to implement core device logic and features, leveraging available libraries and frameworks.
- Build production images using Yocto or Buildroot, manage layers/recipes, and maintain reproducible builds for multiple hardware variants.
- Implement secure OTA updates (e.g., Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate), with A/B partitions, rollback, and signing—targeting zero‑touch fleet upgrades.
- Harden devices for security: filesystem permissions, sandboxing (e.g., AppArmor/SELinux), secure boot/TPM, key management, CVE tracking, and update policies.
- Deliver robust connectivity: Ethernet/Wi‑Fi/Cellular (LTE), BLE gateway roles, MQTT/HTTPS, VPN/WireGuard; optimize reliability, roaming, and reconnection logic.
- Instrument and debug in the field: journald, core dumps, remote shell, metrics/health checks; trace with strace/perf/tcpdump and diagnose with Wireshark.
- Collaborate across disciplines: work with HW, manufacturing, QA, backend, and product to define requirements, provisioning flows, and factory test automation.
- Raise the bar on quality: CI/CD for cross‑compilation, unit/integration tests, static analysis, reproducible builds, and fleet-safe release practices.
- 3–5 years of Embedded Linux experience shipping devices to production at scale.
- Strong proficiency in object-oriented programming (OOP) principles and multi-threading experience, with hands-on skills in C/C++/GO/Rust/Similar in user space (some kernel familiarity) and scripting (Bash, Python); expertise with build systems (CMake/Make, BitBake).
- Hands-on with Buildroot or Yocto Project (preferably Buildroot), including custom layers, recipes, and SDKs.
- Solid understanding of Linux kernel basics, device trees, drivers/BSP integration, bootloaders (U‑Boot), and systemd service design.
- Networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DHCP/DNS, TLS, MQTT/HTTPS, VPN; experience with Wi‑Fi/cellular modules and AT command stacks is a plus.
- Proven experience with OTA frameworks, partitioning strategies, and rollback-safe update flows.
- Git fluency and experience with CI (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or similar) for cross builds and test automation.
- BSc in EE/CE/CS (or equivalent practical experience).
- Device security: secure boot, TPM, disk encryption, SBOM/CVE remediation workflows.
- Real-time and performance: PREEMPT_RT, scheduling, latency tuning, power management.
- Edge packaging: containers (Docker/Podman) on ARM, OCI/CRUN, rootless strategies.
- Cloud & IoT: AWS IoT/Azure IoT, device identity/provisioning, fleet management tooling.
- Language breadth: Go or Rust for system services; protobuf/gRPC.
- Manufacturing flows: factory provisioning, E2E traceability, and end-of-line testing.
