Job Summary:

Join our team to design, develop, and integrate firmware for next-generation cellular modules. You'll be part of a cross-functional team building embedded applications and low-level software that interact directly with wireless hardware, including LTE, 5G, and IoT technologies, and will help drive technical decisions around architecture, performance, and reliability in production environments.

Key Duties & Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and debug embedded software for wireless modules and microcontroller-based systems
• Work closely with hardware and RF engineering teams on platform bring-up and hardware/software integration
• Implement and test device drivers, communication protocols (e.g., UART, SPI, I2C), and middleware
• Support cellular module integration, certification testing (PTCRB, FCC, carrier-specific), and connectivity troubleshooting
• Contribute to and help define software development workflows, including version control, continuous integration, and code reviews
• Guide board bring-up and protocol stack development, and mentor other engineers on best practices, tooling, and documentation

Qualifications/Skills/Knowledge:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field
• Experience in embedded systems development, including bare-metal and/or RTOS environments
• Proficiency in C and/or C++ for embedded systems, with experience in low-level hardware bring-up and debugging
• Solid understanding of embedded systems architecture, memory management, and peripheral interfaces
• Familiarity with debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG/SWD
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary team environment
• Experience with cellular modules (e.g., Quectel, Telit Cinterion, Semtech), including AT command sets and network troubleshooting
• Knowledge of 4G/5G connectivity, eSIM/eUICC integration, SIM interfaces, or GNSS functionality
• Familiarity with Yocto, Linux kernel/device tree customization, secure boot, or FOTA practices
• Understanding of wireless protocols such as TCP/IP, MQTT, or CoAP in constrained devices
• Experience building test harnesses, automated validation frameworks, or manufacturing test development
