Summary

We are seeking an Embedded C Developer to work on next-generation residential gateway platforms that combine DOCSIS/Fiber WAN connectivity with LTE/5G cellular backup. The role involves developing and maintaining firmware on OpenWrt-based hardware running the OpenSync framework, supporting millions of deployed customer premises equipment (CPE) devices.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and debug embedded C software for Linux-based residential gateway platforms (ARM/MIPS SoCs).
• Develop and maintain OpenSync managers that interact with OVSDB for cloud-managed configuration and state reporting.
• Implement and optimize LTE/5G cellular failover and fallback logic, including modem management, route arbitration, and WAN health checks.
• Develop LED state machine logic for multi-WAN connectivity scenarios.
• Interface with cellular modems using AT commands, QMI/MBIM, USB, and PCIe (MHI) protocols.
• Work with WiFi drivers (Qualcomm/Broadcom/Atheros) for 2.4GHz, 5GHz, and 6GHz radio configuration.
• Debug kernel-level issues including PCIe enumeration, USB device management, network driver crashes, and kernel panics.
• Implement and maintain secure communication channels using TLS with mutual authentication and tunneling protocols.
• Analyze and resolve field issues using device logs, crash dumps, and remote diagnostics.
• Develop init scripts, UCI configuration handlers, and persistent storage management for OpenWrt.
• Write unit tests and participate in code reviews through GitLab merge requests.
• Collaborate with hardware teams, QA, cloud platform engineers, and service provider partners.

Required Skills

• 5+ years of embedded C development on Linux-based platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C programming, memory management, IPC, and event-driven architectures.
• Experience with OpenWrt build systems, package management, UCI configuration, and JFFS2/SquashFS overlay file systems.
• Familiarity with OpenSync, OVSDB, Protobuf, and MQTT telemetry.
• Experience with cellular modem integration using AT commands, QMI, and WWAN interfaces.
• Strong understanding of Linux networking, routing tables, IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack networking, DHCPv4, DHCPv6, SLAAC, and prefix delegation.
• Understanding of TLS mutual authentication using X.509 certificates.
• Knowledge of GRE tunneling, IPsec, VPN overlays, and secure encapsulation technologies.
• Experience with event loop frameworks such as libev or libuv.
• Proficiency with debugging tools including GDB, strace, tcpdump, kernel logs, and serial consoles.
• Familiarity with Git, GitLab CI/CD, and cross-compilation toolchains.
• Understanding of WiFi standards including 802.11ax and 802.11be.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with Qualcomm IPQ series SoCs including IPQ5018 and IPQ9574.
• Experience with Broadcom BCM series chipsets including BCM4908, BCM6750, and BCM63178.
• Knowledge of Atheros, Qualcomm, and Broadcom wireless driver architectures.
• Experience with DOCSIS cable modem environments.
• Experience with PCIe and USB subsystems in embedded Linux.
• Familiarity with eSIM and eUICC provisioning technologies.
• Experience with NR5G NSA/SA and carrier aggregation.
• Understanding of TR-069 and TR-369 (USP) device management protocols.
• Familiarity with TR-181 data models.
• Experience with Kconfig-based build environments.
• Knowledge of flash storage management, wear leveling, and factory reset processes.
• Familiarity with thermal and power management for embedded platforms.
