Full-time, On-Site Compensation:
$75,000-$90,000 per year, based on experience About the Role Inex Technologies is seeking a hands-on Embedded Linux & Camera Systems Specialist to support our license plate recognition (LPR) camera systems. This role is well suited to someone who is comfortable working with both physical hardware and Linux-based devices. The successful candidate will be able to troubleshoot beyond basic resets or reimaging—for example, determining whether a camera issue is likely caused by embedded storage, power delivery, networking, software configuration, optics, camera settings, cabling, or another hardware-related issue. This is not a software-development or electrical-design role. It is a practical technical role focused on device imaging and recovery, camera diagnostics, production testing, network configuration, RMA support, and occasional field troubleshooting. The right person will be methodical, hands-on, organized, and comfortable taking ownership of technical issues through resolution or escalation. Responsibilities Embedded Linux Imaging and Device Recovery Prepare, flash, clone, configure, and validate embedded Linux images for camera systems. Recover cameras experiencing software, boot, configuration, or storage-related issues. Configure device networking, services, users, permissions, logs, and startup behavior. Work with microSD cards, eMMC, SSDs, NVMe storage, and related embedded storage devices. Use Linux command-line tools, SSH, system logs, service checks, disk checks, and network diagnostics to troubleshoot devices. Maintain organized image files, recovery media, device configuration records, and internal setup procedures. Camera Diagnostics, Repair, and RMA Support Receive, inspect, test, and evaluate returned LPR cameras and related equipment. Diagnose whether reported issues are likely related to hardware, embedded software, storage, power, networking, camera settings, optics, environmental exposure, or physical damage. Perform visual inspections, functional testing, configuration changes, image recovery, storage replacement, cable and connector checks, firmware updates, part swaps, and retesting. Identify when equipment can be repaired internally versus when it should be escalated for replacement, factory repair, or engineering review. Maintain clear RMA records, including reported symptoms, tests performed, findings, corrective actions, parts used, and final disposition. Identify recurring failure patterns and communicate findings to management and technical teams. Production Testing and Quality Support Perform final testing of production camera systems before shipment. Verify camera operation, image quality, video streams, storage health, embedded software, network connectivity, and general system readiness. Follow and improve production test procedures, checklists, and troubleshooting workflows. Document failed tests, rework needs, and recurring quality concerns. Assist with preparing tested equipment for shipment as needed. Networking, Camera Configuration, and Field Support Configure IP cameras, PoE devices, switches, routers, and related network equipment. Set IP addresses, subnets, camera web interfaces, RTSP/video streams, and remote-access settings. Troubleshoot common connectivity issues, including IP conflicts, PoE failures, cabling faults, device communication failures, and configuration errors. Travel occasionally to customer or partner sites to assist with installation, camera aiming, testing, image-quality review, and troubleshooting. Document field findings and communicate recommended follow-up actions clearly. Required Qualifications 3+ years of hands-on experience with electronics repair, IP cameras, embedded devices, Linux systems, networking, technical support, production testing, low-voltage systems, or related technical work. Practical experience using Linux command-line tools to configure and troubleshoot devices. Experience preparing, recovering, or troubleshooting Linux-based devices, storage media, or embedded systems. Working understanding of IP networking, Ethernet, PoE, switches, routers, IP addressing, and device configuration. Ability to troubleshoot technical problems methodically and distinguish likely software, storage, power, network, optics, and hardware issues. Comfortable working with camera assemblies, connectors, cabling, storage devices, lenses, enclosures, and electronic components. Strong attention to detail and ability to document testing and repair activity clearly. Valid driver's license and ability to travel occasionally to customer sites. Preferred Qualifications Experience with
LPR/ALPR, CCTV, IP
cameras, access control, machine vision, or video systems. Experience with NVIDIA Jetson, ARM-based Linux devices, or edge-computing hardware. Familiarity with RTSP streams, camera web interfaces, PoE switches, and camera configuration tools. Experience with basic soldering, multimeters, serial/UART access, or electronics repair. Familiarity with Bash or Python for simple configuration, testing, or diagnostic tasks. Experience with RMA tracking, production testing, technical documentation, or quality-control processes. Personal Qualities The ideal candidate is: Hands-on, practical, and comfortable working with both hardware and Linux-based systems. Curious about why a device failed, not just how to reset or replace it. Methodical and persistent when troubleshooting unfamiliar issues. Organized enough to maintain accurate test records, RMA documentation, image versions, and technical procedures. Able to work independently while escalating issues appropriately. Reliable and adaptable in a small-company environment where priorities may shift between production, support, testing, and field work. About Inex Technologies Inex Technologies develops and supplies advanced license plate recognition camera systems and cloud-based vehicle access, parking, and security solutions. Our systems are deployed in real-world environments where camera reliability, image quality, accurate recognition, and responsive technical support are essential. We are a hands-on technology company where employees work directly with camera hardware, embedded Linux devices, networking equipment, and customer deployments.
