Job description

Our Product Software team is looking for a new team member!

If you're a Network Software Engineer with experience in C and Linux, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

The Product Software team at HUBER+SUHNER Polatis is responsible for providing customer-facing software that runs on our industry-leading all-optical network switch. The team manages two different software stacks running on different PCBs: the network software (NIC SW), which implements various L2/L3 protocols and allows communication with the optical switch via interfaces such as TL1, Netconf, Restconf, and WebUI; and the control software (DSP SW), a bare-metal stack that receives user commands through NIC SW and controls piezoelectric actuators.

As a Network Software Engineer, you'll be responsible for enhancing and optimizing Polatis products, focusing on software architecture, design, integration, and ensuring seamless collaboration across cross-functional teams. This role involves hands-on contributions in all stages of the software development process, including:

• Technical Expertise
• Collaborating in designing and implementing software solutions using C, considering product requirements and design constraints. Maintaining and updating software documentation for assigned projects.
• Developing or reviewing software verification plans with Test engineers, analyzing testing results, understanding product improvement opportunities, and implementing the agreed changes.

Hardware Integration

• Utilizing hands-on experience to integrate software (Linux) with hardware, understanding protocols such as I2C, UART, SPI, USB, and reading hardware schematics effectively.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to analyze technical issues and contribute to their timely and effective resolution.

Process Orientation

• Producing relevant project artifacts as required by the software development process.
• Providing specific documentation related to product design to meet regulatory compliance and organizational requirements.

The skills we're looking for are:

• Experience in C programming language, especially in embedded environments, with familiarity with ARM microcontrollers, coding standards, and best practices.
• Experience in Linux-based system development, including Linux boot process, DTB, kernel drivers, and using development tools for system administration and debugging.
• Understanding of networking or bus-based communication concepts, protocols, security mechanisms, data storage, and vulnerability prevention.
• Ability to write user-space applications using POSIX APIs and integrate open-source libraries.
• Knowledge of software debugging tools.
• Experience working in an Agile development environment, capable of translating technical discussions into maintainable and reviewable design documents.
• Familiarity with build systems like Yocto, continuous integration tools, scripting languages, version control systems like Git, and issue tracking tools like JIRA.
