Imagination Is Hiring A PowerVR Linux, Open-Source Driver Developer

An anonymous Phoronix reader tipped us off this morning that Imagination Technologies has listed a new job opening for a Linux graphics driver developer that would also include working on portions of their yet-to-be-public open-source driver.

We've been hearing now for a few months that Imagination is working on some sort of new PowerVR Linux driver and at least larger components of it would be open-source. This new Imagination job posting seems to further confirm this work.

Imagination is looking for a developer that can work on X, Mesa, Wayland, DRI, and DRM drivers. The posting reads, "You will be a member of a small team, working alongside other software teams implementing the full driver stack for PowerVR graphics HW...​As part of the Linux team you'll be focusing on developing Linux and Open Source specific portions of our driver - the display controllers, kernel interfaces and hardware-specific portions of X, Mesa and Wayland."

Any Phoronix readers willing to work for Imagination in the UK that are experienced with Mesa/DRI/X/Wayland development can find out more about this new job opening via this job listing.
