We are seeking an experienced and immediately productive Engineer with a minimum of 3+ years in embedded systems development, specializing in WLAN/WiFi technologies and Linux device drivers. This full-time, Work From Office role in Bangalore is critical for developing and maintaining high-performance wireless networking solutions. While direct WLAN/WiFi expertise is highly preferred, candidates demonstrating strong foundational experience in Linux networking, kernel-level programming, and device drivers (e.g., Ethernet, storage) who can adapt quickly to the wireless domain will also be considered.

Key Responsibilities :

Linux Device Driver Development :

- Design, develop, debug, and maintain complex Linux device drivers, specifically focusing on the WLAN/WiFi subsystem components.

- Implement kernel-level code for the interaction between wireless hardware and the Linux networking stack, ensuring stability and optimal performance.

- Analyze kernel logs, use debugging tools (e.g., ftrace, gdb, kprobes), and perform root cause analysis for driver-related issues.

WLAN and Networking Integration :

- Apply deep technical knowledge of WLAN (Wireless LAN)/WiFi requirements and protocols to implement driver features.

- Integrate, test, and validate the functionality of the wireless drivers within the broader Linux networking stack.

- Ensure seamless connectivity, performance, and compliance with industry standards (e.g., IEEE 802.11 standards).

- Demonstrate a strong awareness of networking in general, including IP layer concepts, routing, and network diagnostics.

Productivity and Collaboration :

- Be ready for immediate productivity, requiring little to no ramp-up time for development and debugging tasks.

- Collaborate effectively with hardware teams, firmware developers, and other software engineers in a fast-paced development

environment.

Qualifications :

- Experience : Minimum of 3+ years of professional experience in embedded software development or kernel-level programming.

- Core Skills : Mandatory strong knowledge and hands-on experience with Linux device drivers and kernel development.

- Networking Knowledge : Required awareness and foundational understanding of networking in general and concepts related to the Linux networking stack.

- WLAN/WiFi Focus : The requirement is specifically focused on WLAN with networking, emphasizing Linux drivers.

Preferred Skills :

- WLAN/WiFi Experience : Direct, hands-on experience developing or supporting WLAN/WiFi device drivers (e.g., mac80211 framework).

- Adaptability : Experience with other complex Linux network drivers (e.g., Ethernet, USB networking) with demonstrated ability to quickly adapt to the wireless domain.

- Programming : Expert proficiency in C programming for embedded and kernel development
