Role Overview

We are looking for a Senior Firmware Engineer with deep expertise in Zigbee, Thread, and IEEE 802.15.4 wireless stacks. The candidate will focus on architecting, developing, and optimizing embedded wireless protocol stacks on resource-constrained platforms, ensuring compliance, performance, and reliability.

Key Responsibilities
  • Architect, design, and implement firmware solutions for Zigbee/Thread and IEEE 802.15.4-based products.
  • Develop and optimize low-level drivers, MAC/PHY interfaces, and protocol stack layers.
  • Debug and resolve wireless interoperability and certification issues using sniffers (Ubiqua, Wireshark, Perytons).
  • Collaborate with hardware, QA, and product teams to ensure robust HW/SW co-design and regulatory compliance.
  • Debug, analyze, and optimize power consumption and timing for battery-operated IoT devices.
  • Support certification and compliance efforts for Zigbee/Thread-based products.
  • Document software design, testing procedures, and release notes.
Required Skills & Competencies
  • 12+ years of experience in embedded firmware development.
  • Strong programming skills in C / Embedded C; assembly or scripting (Python) a plus.
  • Expertise in IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY, Zigbee, and Thread protocol stacks.
  • Experience with embedded RTOS (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, or Linux system programming).
  • Proficiency in debug tools (JTAG, GDB, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, sniffers).
  • Strong knowledge of microcontrollers, transceivers, and RF system design basics.
  • Hands-on debugging and optimization for low-power wireless systems.
  • Familiarity with IoT frameworks and domains like home automation, security, and energy management.
  • Excellent problem-solving, communication, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Qualification
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics, Computer Science, or related fields.
    • 12+ years of relevant experience in wireless embedded systems.
