Infrastructure & Security

  • Security: Secure boot, encryption, and device authentication.
  • DevOps: Containerization (Docker) and CI/CD for firmware.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architectural Ownership: Convert high-level blueprints into detailed technical designs for NXP-based systems, ensuring optimal performance across hardware and software layers.
  • Autonomous Execution: Lead the end-to-end development of firmware modules, making critical technical decisions and resolving complex blockers without supervision.
  • ML Pipeline Leadership: Collaborate with Data Engineering and ML teams to architect streaming and batch ingestion pipelines, ensuring data is correctly structured for ML training.
  • Cloud-Edge Synchronization: Design secure and reliable transmission protocols for device-to-cloud communication, focusing on edge-to-cloud integration.
  • Standards Enforcement: Act as the guardian of engineering excellence, implementing security best practices (secure boot, TLS) and ensuring high code quality.
  • Technical Mentoring: Act as a technical beacon for the squad, conducting rigorous code reviews and mentoring senior engineers in Yocto Linux and RTOS concepts.
  • Strategic Troubleshooting: Lead the debugging of critical firmware issues across hardware and software layers, including OTA update implementations.

Preferred Qualifications

  • 8 to 10 years of professional experience in embedded firmware development.
  • Proven ability to work independently and lead technical squads in a fast-paced environment.
  • Expert-level mastery of the Yocto Project and RTOS constraints.
  • Deep proficiency in C/C++ and C# for embedded systems.
  • Demonstrated track record of delivering low-level designs for edge-to-cloud ML systems.

Highly Desirable

  • Industry Experience: Exposure to industrial domains such as Manufacturing, Logistics, or Transportation is highly regarded.
  • Experience with Edge AI / TinyML and industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA).
  • Knowledge of Cybersecurity standards for secure device provisioning.
