Job Summary :
We are seeking a skilled WiFi Firmware Engineer to design, implement, and optimize firmware for wireless connectivity solutions. This role involves working on MAC-level protocols, signal processing algorithms, and real-time embedded systems for high-performance and power-efficient wireless products. The ideal candidate will have strong expertise in firmware development for WiFi and networking technologies, coupled with hands-on experience in debugging and hardware interaction.
Key Responsibilities :
- Design, implement, and test firmware for WiFi and wireless connectivity features, including MAC-level protocols, signal processing algorithms, and runtime operations.
- Develop and optimize embedded software for wireless products, including bench testing, production testing, and performance characterization.
- Debug and troubleshoot firmware issues using JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and in-circuit emulators, addressing hardware-firmware integration challenges.
- Collaborate with hardware teams to define system architecture, interface specifications, and ensure compliance with WiFi standards (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax).
- Participate in code reviews, create documentation for firmware designs, test plans, and architecture, and mentor junior engineers.
- Optimize firmware for real-time performance, power efficiency, and security in wireless environments under thermal and resource constraints.
- Support integration of WiFi firmware with operating systems such as embedded Linux and RTOS, and higher-level applications.
Required Qualifications :
- Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field (Masters preferred for senior roles).
- 3+ years of experience in firmware development for embedded systems with a focus on wireless or networking technologies (e.g., WiFi, WLAN).
- Proven experience in designing and implementing embedded software/firmware for wireless products.
Preferred Qualifications :
- Experience with WiFi chipsets from Qualcomm, Broadcom, Intel, or similar vendors.
- Familiarity with WLAN firmware development and wireless signal processing.
- Experience in safety-critical or high-performance firmware environments.
Skills & Competencies :
- Proficiency in C/C++ programming, assembly language, and real-time operating systems (RTOS).
- Strong understanding of communication protocols such as WiFi (802.11), BLE, Zigbee, I2C, SPI, UART, and CAN.
- Knowledge of microcontroller architectures (e.g., ARM Cortex) and development tools (Git, JIRA, CI/CD pipelines).
- Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and debugging skills, particularly in resource-constrained environments.
- Strong communication and collaboration abilities in fast-paced, team-oriented environments.
