About the Company
Mobileye is a global leader in Physical AI, developing computer vision, software, and hardware to power autonomous driving solutions and humanoid robots. Our mission is to bring autonomy into the real world by building intelligent technologies that are designed to expand accessibility and enhance everyday life, from advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving to robotics and humanoids.
Built on decades of automotive innovation and industrial-scale AI expertise, Mobileye technologies power more than 230 million vehicles worldwide. With teams around the world, we continue to innovate at the forefront of autonomous systems, advancing the next generation of Physical AI for the real world.
About the Team
Mobileye is looking for a passionate Systems Software Developer to join the Operating System Team in the EyeQ Platform Software Group. While many work on Linux, we work in Linux. Our team is responsible for the core OS DNA of the EyeQ computer vision SoC, defining how the system starts, is composed, and manages its lifecycle in a high-performance automotive environment.
Responsibilities
- Architect and develop Linux userspace and service bring-up so the distribution boots into a consistent, operational platform under embedded constraints.
- Enable and integrate an SDK into the OS image - drivers, libraries, runtimes, and filesystem layout as first-class distribution components.
- Own distribution composition, including packages, sysroots, and image features that make the SDK and core OS a maintainable, versioned platform.
- Develop Python-based deployment tooling to provision targets with a reproducible OS + SDK environment (image delivery, flashing, and environment setup).
- Debug at the OS boundary - init/service failures, library and ABI mismatches, missing dependencies, and SDK/runtime issues on the target.
- Perform root cause analysis on system-level failures in the distribution, from boot and userspace bring-up through a fully operational stack.
- Collaborate on board bring-up, tailoring the distribution and SDK integration to new EyeQ generations and related target hardware.
Requirements
- Outstanding graduate in Computer Science or similar field.
- 5+ years of experience in Embedded Linux development, with a focus on systems software, userspace, or distribution work.
- Strong C/C++ skills and a solid understanding of POSIX APIs, libraries, and how userspace talks to the kernel.
- Deep knowledge of Linux Internals, specifically the boot process (Bootloaders, Kernel hand-off, Init systems) and root filesystem layout.
- Hands-on experience with Embedded Linux Distributions (e.g., custom Yocto recipes, Buildroot, or Linux-from-scratch).
- Experience enabling vendor SDKs or BSP stacks on Linux - integrating third-party drivers, runtimes, and userspace components into a custom image.
- Proficiency in debugging tools like GDB, Valgrind, strace, and perf.
- Experience with Python for infrastructure and tool development - deployment, packaging, and environment setup.
Nice to Have
- Background in Automotive Software.
- Experience with GPU/accelerator compute stacks (driver + userspace runtime, inference/compute libraries, cross-sysroot workflows).
- Familiarity with reading hardware schematics and reasoning about basic hardware interfaces and signal.
