BSP Engineer

Overall Responsibilities and Duties

BSP / Platform Bring-Up

• Perform board bring-up, hardware validation, and platform initialization for new automotive SoCs and custom boards.
• Develop, port, and maintain U-Boot / Bootloader for target hardware.
• Configure and maintain Device Tree Source (DTS/DTSI) files for peripheral and SoC configuration.
• Enable and validate SoC peripherals: UART, I2C, SPI, CAN, USB, PCIe, MIPI CSI/DSI, HDMI, Ethernet, eMMC, UFS, etc.

Linux BSP

• Port and customize Linux Kernel (v5.x / v6.x) for automotive target hardware.
• Develop, debug, and maintain Linux kernel drivers for automotive-specific hardware components.
• BSP integration with Yocto / OpenEmbedded build system - writing recipes, layers, and meta layers.
• System boot time optimization and power management (suspend/resume, DVFS).

Android BSP (AOSP)

• Port and customize AOSP for automotive-grade SoCs (Qualcomm SA-series, NXP i.MX, Renesas R-Car, TI TDA, Telechips TCC803x / TCC835x, etc.).
• Manage Android build system (Soong / Make), AOSP manifest, and vendor-specific integrations.
• Support Android OTA (Over-The-Air) update mechanisms (A/B partitioning, Virtual A/B).
• Debug using Android Logcat, ADB, systrace, perfetto, bugreport, KGDB

Automotive Domain
