Hey everyone.

Texas Instruments has an opening for a Linux Integration Engineer.
What we really need is someone with strong Linux admin/troubleshooting
skills, and advanced bash scripting skills.  Please see the job
description below for more details.

Basically, we integrate TI hardware and software into a number of
embedded Linux devices.  We currently use Android and Poky
(OpenEmbedded derivative), and should soon be using Ubuntu as well.

This position is in the Build and Release team, and deals with the
integration of all the various developer's code into a finished OS.
We are in the process of automating the
configuration/integration/build/test cycle that we use.

It is a terrific opportunity for a talented and motivated Linux person!

Thanks!
