Description

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for an Embedded Linux Field Engineer for Devices/IoT based in Canada. This role offers the opportunity to work at the intersection of embedded systems engineering, Linux internals, and real-world device deployments across industries such as automotive, robotics, industrial systems, medical devices, and consumer electronics. You will act as a technical bridge between complex customer requirements and robust Linux-based solutions, helping design, adapt, and deploy secure and scalable operating environments for connected devices. The role combines deep technical problem-solving with customer-facing engagement, making it ideal for engineers who enjoy both hands-on system work and high-impact collaboration. You will work closely with advanced Linux technologies spanning boot systems, firmware, packaging, and embedded distributions. The environment is highly technical, globally distributed, and built around autonomy, ownership, and continuous learning. This is a chance to influence how Linux powers mission-critical devices at scale while working on cutting-edge IoT and embedded challenges. \n Accountabilities: Engage with customers during presales and technical discovery phases to understand requirements and translate them into viable embedded Linux solutions. Design, adapt, and deliver embedded Linux systems for devices and IoT environments, ensuring performance, reliability, and security. Work across the Linux stack, including boot processes, firmware, BIOS/UEFI, Secure Boot, and distribution packaging. Contribute to the development, integration, and debugging of embedded systems using technologies such as Yocto or Buildroot. Support delivery of customer projects, acting as both a technical advisor and implementation contributor. Troubleshoot and resolve complex system-level issues across hardware and software layers. Communicate market and customer needs back to internal engineering teams to influence product direction and improvements. Collaborate with global teams to ensure consistent delivery of robust, production-grade embedded solutions. Requirements Strong professional experience with Linux systems, ideally based on Debian or Ubuntu environments. Solid background in embedded Linux development, including tools such as Yocto and/or Buildroot. Experience with low-level system components such as bootloaders, BIOS/UEFI, firmware, and Secure Boot. Proficiency in at least one programming or scripting language such as C, C++, Python, Go, or Rust. Experience with Linux distribution packaging (e.g., deb, rpm) and system integration. Strong debugging skills and ability to analyze complex system-level issues. Excellent communication and presentation skills, including customer-facing interactions. Ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and deliver under dynamic conditions. Strong sense of ownership, curiosity, and willingness to continuously learn new technologies. Professional English proficiency; additional local language skills may be beneficial depending on client interactions. Willingness to travel internationally up to ~30% for customer meetings and industry events. Benefits Competitive compensation with performance-based bonuses or commission structures. Fully distributed, remote-first working environment. Annual personal learning and development budget to support continuous growth. Regular in-person team gatherings and global engineering events. Generous annual leave and parental leave policies. Employee assistance and wellbeing support programs. Opportunities to travel internationally for collaboration and technical engagements. Travel benefits and upgrades for company events and long-distance trips. \n How Jobgether works: We use an AI-powered matching process to ensure your application is reviewed quickly, objectively, and fairly against the role's core requirements.
