What You'll Do
- Build, maintain, and debug Linux kernels, initrd/initramfs, and squashfs images.
- Validate OS and firmware (BIOS/UEFI, BMC, microcode) compatibility with hardware platforms.
- Check for vulnerabilities, test fixes, and manage firmware flashing and validation.
- Implement and manage PXE boot environments for bare-metal deployment.
- Automate image building and deployment using scripts (Bash, Python), Ansible, and CI/CD tools.
- Perform hardware bring-up and validate OS deployment on real hardware.
- Manage containerized test environments for integration testing.
- Collaborate with internal teams to support production hardware quality tools.
- Take ownership of the image lifecycle and propose solutions to improve infrastructure efficiency.
- Write and maintain documentation for firmware and OS validation processes.
What We're Looking For
- Strong knowledge of Linux internals (Kernel configuration, boot process, initrd/initramfs) and filesystem images.
- Experience with firmware/hardware validation (BIOS/UEFI, BMC) and hardware bring-up.
- Proficiency in deployment protocols (PXE, TFTP, DHCP) and scripting (Bash, Python).
- Experience with automation tools (GitLab CI/CD, Ansible) and containerization (Docker).
- 2–5 years of experience in DevOps, Platform, or System Engineering roles.
