Our mission is to provide manufacturers and other industrial sectors with insights into the health of machines, processes, and operations to transform how people work and what they can create. A leader in Machine Health and Process Health solutions, Augury uses purpose-built AI technology, trained by industry experts and the world’s largest data library, to help companies realize the full potential of their production. Together with our customers, we are pioneering Production Health by removing friction created by competing business goals so companies can improve business outcomes, empower their workforce, and achieve sustainable production- all at the same time.

We’re looking for an IoT Embedded Linux Engineer to design, build, and own the software stack powering our next-generation edge devices. You’ll develop resilient Linux-based systems, from bootloader to application, ensure secure and reliable cloud connectivity, and collaborate closely with hardware, manufacturing, and backend teams to deliver production-grade devices at scale.

A Day In Your Life

Platform Ownership

Own the full embedded Linux platform: BSP, kernel configuration, device tree, bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), systemd services, and startup/upgrade flows.
Build and maintain production-ready Linux images using Yocto or Buildroot, manage layers/recipes, and maintain reproducible builds across hardware variants.

Application & System Development

Develop user-space applications in C++/Go/Rust (or similar), using robust OOP and multi-threading practices.
Implement core device logic, leveraging modern frameworks and libraries while optimizing performance and reliability.

Secure & Reliable Updates

Implement secure OTA update pipelines (Mender, RAUC, SWUpdate), including A/B partitioning, rollback strategies, signing, and zero-touch fleet upgrades.
Harden devices for production security: filesystem permissions, sandboxing (AppArmor/SELinux), secure boot/TPM, key management, CVE tracking, and safe update policies.

Connectivity & Networking

Deliver robust connectivity across Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular (LTE), and BLE gateway roles.
Implement secure protocols: MQTT/HTTPS, TLS, VPN/WireGuard; optimize reconnection, roaming, and edge-to-cloud reliability.

Diagnostics, Debugging & Observability

Instrument devices for field diagnostics using journald, metrics/health checks, core dumps, and remote shell access.
Trace and debug using tools such as strace, perf, tcpdump, and Wireshark.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Partner with HW, QA, manufacturing, backend, and product teams to define requirements, provisioning flows, and factory test automation.
Contribute to production tooling and support manufacturing workflows.

Quality & Release Discipline

Drive CI/CD pipelines for cross-compilation, automated testing, static analysis, reproducible builds, and safe rollout practices across fleets.
Enforce coding standards, documentation, and testing rigor.

What You Bring

3–5 years of embedded Linux experience shipping devices to production at scale.
Strong proficiency with object-oriented design and multi-threaded programming in C/C++/Go/Rust (user space), plus scripting in Bash and Python.
Experience with Buildroot or Yocto (Buildroot preferred), including custom layers, recipes, and SDKs.
Solid understanding of Linux kernel fundamentals, device trees, drivers/BSP integration, U-Boot bootloaders, and systemd service architecture.
Networking expertise: TCP/IP, DNS/DHCP, TLS, MQTT/HTTPS, VPN; familiarity with Wi-Fi/cellular modules and AT command stacks is a plus.
Proven experience with OTA frameworks, partitioning strategies, and rollback-safe update flows.
Strong Git fluency and experience with CI pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or similar).
BSc in EE, CE, CS, or equivalent practical experience.

Nice to Have

Deep security experience: secure boot, TPM, disk encryption, SBOM generation, and CVE remediation workflows.
Real-time and performance tuning: PREEMPT_RT, low-latency scheduling, and power management techniques.
Edge packaging: ARM-based containers (Docker/Podman), OCI runtimes (crun), and rootless/containerized strategies.
IoT cloud experience: AWS IoT, Azure IoT, device identity, provisioning, and fleet management tooling.
Broader language and protocol experience: Go/Rust for services, protobuf/gRPC.
Manufacturing experience: factory provisioning, end-to-end traceability, and end-of-line test systems.
