Job Name: Software Engineer - IoT Hub / Embedded Linux

Assignment Description

An experienced IoT Hub Software Engineer specializing in core platform development, system integration, and connectivity for IoT hubs and gateways. The consultant works primarily with embedded Linux–based IoT hub software, focusing on C++ development, IP-based communication, and system-level integration rather than end-device or accessory firmware. The consultant has strong experience developing and maintaining the central IoT hub layer that bridges devices, networks, and higher-level services. This includes responsibility for networking, commissioning flows, protocol handling, and integration of embedded Linux platforms used as IoT hubs in production environments.

Core Focus Areas

• IoT hub / gateway software (not accessory firmware)
• Embedded Linux–based hub platforms
• Networking, connectivity, and protocol handling
• System integration and platform stability

Programming & Software Development

• C++ (modern C++ for embedded Linux and system services)
• C (supporting and legacy components)
• Shell scripting (Bash)

Embedded Linux (IoT Hub Platform)

• Embedded Linux as primary runtime and development environment
• Development of hub-side services, daemons, and middleware
• System-level debugging, logging, and performance analysis
• Cross-compilation and toolchain management

Build Systems & Platform Configuration

• Yocto Project (or similar embedded Linux build systems)
• Package selection, dependency management, and update strategies
• Platform bring-up and integration together with hardware teams

Networking & IP Protocols

• Strong knowledge of IP networking
• IPv4 / IPv6
• TCP / UDP
• Network discovery, addressing, and connectivity troubleshooting
• Hub-side handling of device communication and routing
• IoT hub commissioning and onboarding flows
• Device provisioning and lifecycle handling at hub level
• Interoperability across ecosystems and platforms
• Secure communication concepts and hub-side trust management

Tools & Ways of Working

• Git-based version control
• CI/CD pipelines for embedded Linux platforms
