This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is seeking an Embedded Linux Field Engineer for Devices/IoT based in the Netherlands. In this role, you will work at the intersection of embedded systems engineering, Linux internals, and real-world device deployments across diverse sectors such as automotive, robotics, industrial systems, medical devices, and consumer electronics. You will serve as a technical bridge between complex customer requirements and robust Linux-based solutions, helping to design, adapt, and deploy secure and scalable operating environments for connected devices. This position 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 tackling cutting-edge IoT and embedded challenges.
