About Us

Asylon is building the future of automated physical security

Founded by aerospace engineers out of MIT, Asylon exists to solve one of the world’s most fundamental problems: protecting people, property, and assets at scale. We design and deploy integrated robotics, software, and AI systems that operate continuously in the real world—where reliability is critical and failure is not an option. Our technology is already protecting lives and infrastructure every day.

The Asylon team brings deep roots in aerospace, defense, and mission-critical engineering, with experience spanning military aviation, naval defense platforms, and advanced commercial systems. That heritage shapes how we work: high standards, disciplined execution, and uncompromising integrity. We build and operate systems that deliver real outcomes for real customers.

We are assembling a team of engineers, operators, and leaders who want their work to matter—people who thrive in demanding environments, take pride in craftsmanship, and take ownership of results. At Asylon, you will help build category-defining technology, push the boundaries of what autonomous systems can do, and set the standard for an entirely new industry.

Our Product - Automated Physical Security

Our full-stack solution enables autonomous aerial and ground robots to operate persistently alongside human security teams—providing continuous situational awareness, rapid response capabilities, and actionable intelligence at scale. We believe the future of security is not humans or machines. It is humans + machines + AI working together—amplifying coverage, improving decision-making, and reducing risk.

Our platform transforms robots from experimental tools into dependable security assets. Deployed at customer sites today, Asylon systems conduct routine patrols, respond to incidents, and integrate directly into security operations—extending the reach of teams and fundamentally changing how physical security is delivered.

We are building the software infrastructure layer for the automated security economy. The work is exciting, and the mission is real.

Position

The Linux Systems Engineer owns the operating environments that run robotic platforms and supporting infrastructure. This role builds, configures, hardens, and maintains Linux systems across embedded devices, edge compute, and on-prem or cloud servers. You will manage deployments, networking, system performance, security controls, and automation pipelines that ensure reliability at scale. Success requires deep Linux expertise, strong scripting and automation skills, and comfort debugging low-level system issues. This role is for engineers who thrive close to the ground level and enable everything else to run.

Primary duties include:

• Design, configure, and maintain Yocto (or similar build systems like Buildroot) layers and recipes to produce customized, optimized, and secure Linux images for various robotic hardware platforms (ARM64 architectures).
• Troubleshoot and integrate new hardware components, device drivers, and peripheral interfaces into the embedded Linux images.
• Manage and customize bootloaders and Linux kernels for specific system requirements and performance tuning.
• Implement and maintain Over-the-Air (OTA) system- and application-level update mechanisms for field-deployed robots.
• Implement security hardening measures at the OS and kernel level for embedded systems.
• Maintain and provision Linux workstations and virtual environments used by the software development team.
• Develop automation scripts to streamline developer setup and toolchain consistency.

Required Skills and Experience

• Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience in Linux Systems Engineering, with a strong focus on embedded systems or hardware-software integration.
• Deep, hands-on experience using and customizing the Yocto Project for production environments (building custom images, recipes, layers, and managing metadata).
• Administration skills in Linux, including kernel configuration, filesystem management, and network troubleshooting.
• Proficiency in Bash and Python for automation, testing, and system utilities.
• Solid understanding of hardware interfaces, device drivers, and cross-compilation processes for various architectures (ARM64 a plus).
