Build and Release Linux Engineer

We are looking for a BUILD AND RELEASE LINUX ENGINEER to help with Embedded Linux Software Configuration Management for a newly released product (see more details at www.reachtech.com/G2/). We need someone with at least a few years of experience with Linux operating systems and working knowledge of Linux installation including setup and administration as well as some development, scripting, and component building.

The attributes of a successful candidate are:

INITIATIVE: Are you dependable, resourceful, and a self-starter who never needs to be micro-managed? Do you have lots of energy, and a good work ethic? Are you professional in your approach?

TECHNICAL SKILL: Do you have an eye for detail? Strong Python and shell scripting skills? Strong Linux build system, administration, and installation skills? Do you care about what you create and want to be proud of it?

FLEXIBILITY: There is no one way to accomplish a task, and this is especially true in programming. What matters is getting something to work that matches the customer needs and priorities. Often a quick and dirty solution is better than an elegant one, and the right way to solve a problem is often not apparent until you have done it wrong the first time.

ATTITUDE: Skills can be learned, but the desire to learn and grow professionally cannot. Attitude is everything.

Responsibilities

• Provide support to the development team with emphasis on version control and automation systems in a cross-platform development environment targeting several embedded Linux hardware platforms.
• Assist in software build and release management including build system automation, build replication, release process management, and test and validation.
• Work with the development team to identify areas for improvement, evaluate alternative build systems, and implement process improvements.
• Provide automated scripted solutions for Linux environments where appropriate.

Requirements

• Three or more years of hands-on experience with Linux operating systems and working knowledge of Linux installation including setup and administration as well as some development, scripting, and component building.
• Strong Python and shell scripting skills.
• Strong Linux build system, administration, and installation skills.
• Strong communication skills.
• Experience working with code patches, makefiles and autotools.
• Understand the build relationships between Linux software packages and their target environments.

Nice to Have

• Good understanding of SCM practices.
• Embedded Linux experience, Open Embedded/Buildroot tools.
• Experience with tools for source control, automated build, code review, and testing.
• Git experience highly desired.
