In this role, you will architect, design, and optimize embedded solutions that power connected devices for diverse IoT applications. You will play a key role in building secure, scalable, and energy-efficient systems that integrate seamlessly with AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, and other cloud platforms.

• Firmware Development:
  Design, develop, and maintain high-quality firmware for IoT devices using Embedded C/C++. Implement robust and efficient code optimized for performance and low power consumption.
• IoT Connectivity:
  Develop and integrate communication stacks such as Wi-Fi, LoRa, and NB-IoT for real-time data transmission and device communication. Ensure reliable connectivity and minimal latency across diverse network environments.
• Security & Encryption:
  Implement strong data encryption, authentication, and secure boot mechanisms to protect devices from cyber threats. Ensure compliance with industry standards for IoT security and data integrity.
• Cloud Integration:
  Design and implement seamless integration between embedded devices and cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub) using MQTT, HTTP, or REST APIs. Manage secure data exchange and device provisioning workflows.
• Optimization & Performance:
  Continuously improve firmware efficiency, reduce memory footprint, and optimize device power usage for extended battery life. Perform detailed profiling and debugging using hardware and software tools.
• Hardware Interaction:
  Collaborate with hardware engineers to design and validate circuit interfaces, sensors, and peripherals. Debug and validate hardware-firmware interactions to ensure stable and reliable operation.
• Testing & Validation:
  Develop test plans, automated testing frameworks, and diagnostic utilities for firmware validation. Conduct regression, stress, and field testing to ensure product quality.
• Cross-functional Collaboration:
  Work closely with product management, software, and cloud teams to translate product requirements into technical specifications. Provide technical leadership in design reviews and architecture discussions.
• Documentation & Compliance:
  Prepare detailed design documents, firmware release notes, and compliance reports. Adhere to best practices in version control, CI/CD, and documentation standards.

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics, Electrical, or Computer Engineering (or related discipline).
• Minimum 6+ years of hands-on experience in embedded firmware development for IoT products.
• Strong proficiency in Embedded C/C++, RTOS environments, and microcontroller-based systems (ARM, ESP32, STM32, etc.).
• Practical experience with IoT communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, LoRa, NB-IoT, and MQTT.
• In-depth understanding of security frameworks, data encryption, and device authentication mechanisms.
• Experience integrating devices with AWS IoT Core or Azure IoT Hub, including OTA updates and telemetry management.
• Familiarity with IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP, REST, JSON) and low-power device design.
• Proficiency with debugging tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and firmware testing environments.
• Knowledge of cloud-based analytics, data pipelines, and device management frameworks is a plus.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and optimization skills with attention to detail.
• Excellent communication and teamwork skills with a passion for building scalable and secure IoT products.
