Description
At 1KOMMA5° , we pursue a clear vision: Living on wind and sunlight forever for free . To make this a reality, we are building the energy system of the future with Heartbeat AI. Want to be part of it? We bring together regional craftsmanship and scalable software: We don't think of solar, batteries, heat pumps, and e-mobility as isolated components, but control them as an intelligent, integrated overall system in our virtual power plant. Directly connected to the electricity market – in real time, fully automated. This way, energy is used when it is available from renewables and particularly cost-effective. By 2030, our goal is to transition 1.5 million households to renewable energies. Over 2,000 people are working towards this every day, at more than 80 locations worldwide, from Finland to Australia. Want to take responsibility and build solutions that truly matter? Apply now and help us shape the energy world of tomorrow . Become a part of our mission and learn more about our Product & Tech team! At 1KOMMA5°, we connect and manage distributed energy devices at scale. As a (Senior) Embedded Linux Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and operating the 1K5 Heartbeat Gateway, the edge device that securely connects thousands of energy assets to our cloud ecosystem. You will work primarily on the embedded Linux platform running on our gateway hardware, collaborating closely with hardware engineering to ensure that the system is robust, secure, and ready for large-scale manufacturing and field deployment. Your work will directly contribute to the reliability, security, and long-term maintainability of the distributed energy infrastructure powering the energy transition. Key responsibilities include but are not limited to: Develop and maintain the embedded Linux distribution for our gateway using Yocto Design and maintain the boot chain and secure boot architecture, ensuring trusted firmware execution and reliable device startup. Develop and maintain device tree configurations, drivers, and hardware interfaces Work closely with hardware engineers on board bring-up, hardware validation, and debugging, ensuring smooth integration between hardware and the Linux platform. Implement and maintain OTA update infrastructure using Mender, ensuring safe updates, rollback mechanisms, and long-term maintainability of devices in the field. Design and maintain the assembly-line flashing and provisioning system, including automated workflows to flash firmware, provision device identities, and run factory diagnostics during manufacturing. Troubleshoot and resolve system-level issues across hardware, kernel, and operating system layers, ensuring robustness, recoverability, and stability of gateway fleets deployed at scale. Technologies you will work with include: Yocto, Linux kernel, device trees, bootloaders, secure boot DevOps: CI/CD pipelines, secure OTA processes, Mender Embedded hardware (e.g. SoCs, compute modules, secure elements) Manufacturing processes: prototyping, assembly, flashing, and testing The successful candidate will have: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, or a related field. 5+ years of experience developing embedded Linux systems. Strong experience with Yocto or other embedded Linux build systems. Solid understanding of Linux system internals (boot process, kernel configuration, device drivers). Experience with board bring-up and hardware debugging. Experience working with bootloaders, secure boot, or trusted device architectures. Hands-on experience designing or maintaining assembly-line flashing or device provisioning systems. Experience working closely with hardware engineers on custom embedded platforms. Ability to debug problems across hardware, kernel, and operating system layers. Strong troubleshooting
