Project description:
"I am looking for a high-level embedded firmware engineer to complete development work on a Linux-based AI inference accelerator (NYMPH 1.1).
This is an urgent, milestone-driven project requiring expertise in kernel modules, PCIe/DMA, Buildroot/Yocto, AI runtimes, and embedded daemon development in C++/Rust.

You will be working from an existing architecture, firmware specification, DTS overlays, and validation test suite.

Scope of Work
1. Buildroot/Yocto Firmware Image

Create a fully reproducible Buildroot/Yocto firmware image

Integrate DTS overlays (RK3588 + Switchtec PCIe fabric)

Implement rootfs-overlay, post-build scripts, systemd units

Generate stable /dist artifacts

2. Kernel Driver Development (PCIe + DMA)

Implement the pcie_nymph driver

Handle PCIe enumeration, IOCTL interface, DMA engines (ZLTA-2)

Support memory mapping and user-space interaction

Validate with:

dma_vs_copy

bench-run

/fabric/verify

3. Runtime Daemon (Rust or C++17)

Develop daemon with:

REST HTTP + WebSocket API

/status, /infer, /fabric/verify, /thermal/schedule, /kv/pin, /capsule/run

Integrate with kernel driver and AI runtime

Logging, reliability, systemd service

4. AI Runtime Integration

Integrate ONNX Runtime or TensorFlow Lite

Implement inference pipeline for local LLM workloads

Validate via [login to view URL] and [login to view URL]

5. Thermal + MCU Subsystem

Implement thermal backend (PMBus, NTC, PWM/TACH MCU control)

Support TAITO/TAPIM thermal scheduling

Validate via [login to view URL]

6. Security + OTA

Implement attestation + capsule verification

Implement OTA apply/rollback workflows

Produce attestation logs

Deliverables

Complete firmware repository (drivers, daemon, tools)

Working reproducible firmware image

Full validation logs:
