About the Role

KRUSH Tech is seeking a Lead Software Engineer to define software architecture, development strategy, and engineering standards for SBC-based products. This role offers a unique opportunity to provide technical leadership, drive hardware-software integration, and shape the company's technical direction from its inception.

Responsibilities

• Define the overall software development strategy, architecture, and technical standards for SBC-based products across multiple company projects.
• Design scalable system software architectures and establish common frameworks, coding standards, and engineering best practices across the product portfolio.
• Lead software engineering teams and coordinate technical activities across multiple projects, ensuring alignment with architectural and development standards.
• Develop critical software components and prototypes, providing hands-on technical leadership and demonstrating solutions for complex system-level challenges.
• Collaborate with hardware engineering teams on SBC and hardware platform selection, hardware-software integration, electrical design decisions, and overall system optimization.
• Coordinate the development and integration of low-level drivers, middleware, system software, and application software across the product stack.
• Conduct code, architecture, process, and system audits to identify technical risks, assess solution feasibility, and drive continuous improvement across projects.
• Define testing methodologies, prototype debugging procedures, and validation strategies, including EMC, thermal, power consumption, and long-term stress testing.
• Lead complex technical and strategic decisions, manage engineering risks, and provide recommendations on technology and hardware platform selection.
• Develop team capabilities through mentoring, technical training, knowledge sharing, and implementation of engineering best practices.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related engineering discipline.
• 6+ years of experience in embedded software engineering, with significant experience designing and developing complex embedded systems.
• Deep expertise in Embedded Linux, covering the complete software stack from bootloader and kernel through drivers, middleware, and user-space applications.
• Proven experience designing system software architectures for SBC-based products or complex embedded computing platforms.
• Strong experience with Yocto and/or Buildroot and embedded Linux build and integration environments.
• Experience planning and integrating complete hardware and software stacks, including collaboration with hardware engineering teams and review of electrical schematics and design decisions.
• Experience defining coding standards, engineering processes, testing methodologies, and development best practices across engineering teams.
• Strong technical leadership experience, including coordinating multidisciplinary software development activities and managing the technical aspects of complex projects.
• Ability to independently assess technical risks, evaluate the feasibility of solutions, and make complex technical and strategic decisions.
• Strong hands-on debugging and diagnostic skills using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power analyzers, programmers, and hardware debuggers.
• Experience with tools such as GDB, OpenOCD, Segger, performance profiling tools such as LTTng and perf, and enterprise CI/CD and configuration management systems.
• Experience with Git-based development and collaboration tools such as GitLab and Gerrit.
• Knowledge of software security practices, including static analysis and fuzz testing.
• Experience coordinating system validation activities, including EMC, thermal, power, and long-term stress testing.
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes in complex development or deployment environments is a plus.
• Strong mentoring, communication, documentation, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
