Bordeaux, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre-jean Texier is an Embedded Linux team leader with 11 years of hands-on experience designing and maintaining Yocto/OpenEmbedded-based systems for NXP i.MX platforms and industrial payment terminals. Based in Bordeaux, he leads software architecture, CI-driven releases and secure update flows (SWUpdate, HSM) while continuing to contribute upstream as an OpenEmbedded maintainer and frequent committer to meta-freescale and openembedded-core. He blends low-level expertise—U-Boot, kernel development, device trees and Linux drivers—with build and automation skills (bitbake, kas, wic/engine.py) to keep complex BSPs and OTA systems reliable. He also teaches embedded Linux and runs the Bordeaux Linux Embedded meetup, signaling a commitment to community and knowledge sharing. A practical problem-solver, he often surfaces non-obvious fixes like build-image path corrections and firmware integration tweaks that prevent regressions across long-lived hardware platforms.
