About the role

  • Staff Embedded Software Engineer developing carrier grade embedded software for optical line systems. Collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams to deliver innovative solutions.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with hardware/FPGA engineers to understand HW control architecture including CPU architecture, memory access and control of various peripherals. Be able to independently develop firmware that supports the designed hardware, e.g. driving DACs, reading ADCs and control flash devices through low level device interfaces or FPGA interfaces.
  • Work closely with optical engineers to define optical control requirements and develop control algorithms. Implement the control algorithms on top of Linux and FreeRTOS operating systems.
  • Work on software interface layer that communicates with system controller on a different card through gRPC interface over Ethernet.
  • Provide to management team accurate design estimates for planning purposes.
  • Follow development processes to ensure delivery of quality products on time.
