You will own DLMS/COSEM NIC/meter-side firmware, ensure IS 15959 Part 2 and SBD alignment, manage peripherals, lead architecture discussions, and drive robust SDLC practices across releases.

Qualifications

• 4–6 years of hands-on embedded software engineering experience shipping firmware or NIC/communication-side firmware in commercial AMI products.
• Mastery of C programming tailored for ARM Cortex-M class MCUs.
• Familiarity with modern SDLC: Git, JIRA, IBM ALM, CI/CD pipelines, build systems (CMake/Make), Docker, WSL, unit/integration testing, and release management.
• Hands-on experience with wireless mesh protocols like Wirepas, Wi-SUN, Zigbee.
• Cellular IoT experience with AT-command structures in constrained IoT environments.
• Automation using Python scripting for tooling and testing.
• Experience as a firmware developer in Indian smart meter OEMs or firmware integrator roles.

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain optimized firmware for ARM Cortex-M MCUs in bare-metal and lightweight RTOS environments.
• Own DLMS/COSEM NIC/meter-side firmware integration, ensuring IS 15959 Part 2 alignment and SBD compliance.
• Configure and optimize peripherals (UART, SPI, I2C, GPIO, DMA, Flash, OTAP) and hardware security keys.
• Lead architectural discussions and liaise with meter OEM software leads and stakeholders.
• Drive SDLC practices, enforce code reviews, and contribute to CI/CD workflows across releases.

Company Description

Bosch Global Software Technologies Private Limited is a 100% owned subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH, one of the world's leading global supplier of technology and services, offering end-to-end Engineering, IT and Business Solutions. With over 27,000+ associates, it’s the largest software development center of Bosch, outside Germany, indicating that it is the Technology Powerhouse of Bosch in India with a global footprint and presence in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Job Description

Roles & Responsibilities :
Core Firmware Development: Design, implement, and maintain highly optimized, production-grade firmware for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers in both bare-metal and lightweight RTOS environments.

• AMI & Protocol Integration: Own and mature the communication firmware (NIC/meter-side) using DLMS/COSEM, ensuring seamless alignment with Indian smart metering standards (IS 15959 Part 2 and Standard Bid Documents / SBD).

• Low-Level Peripheral Management: Configure and optimize micro-architectural components including UART, SPI, I涎, GPIO, DMA, internal/external Flash, hardware security/keys, and Over-the-Air Programming (OTAP) mechanics.

• Technical Leadership & OEM Collaboration: Lead architectural discussions, write clean design notes, and act as a trusted technical liaison with meter OEM software leads and senior stakeholders.

• Engineering Excellence: Drive robust SDLC practices by owning non-trivial codebases across multiple release cycles, enforcing strict code reviews, and contributing proactively to continuous integration workflows.
