Key responsibilities

• Architect and design scalable, reliable, and maintainable embedded software systems (including application, kernel, and drivers on an RTOS/Linux). Make key decisions on technology stack, data storage, APIs, and integration patterns.
• Tackle complex technical challenges, from developing modem software functions and performing 3GPP protocol analysis to writing clean, efficient, and well-tested code that serves as a standard for the team.
• Conduct requirement analysis and research on new technologies and platforms; output relevant research and analysis results to guide technology selection.
• Produce high-quality technical documents, including system architecture, software functional design, and technical guidance documents.
• Actively mentor junior and mid-level engineers. Provide necessary guidance to internal teams (e.g., FAE, hardware, test) and respond to complex technical queries from customers.
• Lead features or projects from technical conception to delivery, coordinating tasks and unblocking team members.
• Work closely with product managers, engineers, and other stakeholders to translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Lead tech talks, document architectures, and contribute to the creation of technical training materials to promote best practices and team growth.
• Enforce high standards of code quality through in-depth code reviews. Participate in the entire software development lifecycle, from development to maintenance.
• Proactively identify, prioritize, and address technical debt. Evaluate technical risks and propose mitigation strategies for projects.

About you

• Bachelor's degree or above in Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, or a related field.
• Minimum 7 years of hands-on experience in embedded software development on Linux and/or RTOS platforms.
• Strong proficiency in C/C++ programming with solid knowledge of embedded software design principles and best practices.
• Hands-on experience in embedded software development, including user-space applications, Linux kernel, device drivers, multi-threading, inter-process communication (IPC), socket programming, and hardware interfaces such as SPI, USB, PCIe, and Ethernet.
• Good understanding of networking and Internet communication protocols, including IP, TCP/UDP, HTTP, FTP, and SSL/TLS.
• Proven experience in software architecture design, embedded system design, technical solution development, and system optimization.
• Experience delivering software throughout the full software development lifecycle, including requirement analysis, design, implementation, testing, debugging, integration, and maintenance.
• Strong analytical, debugging, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis skills, with the ability to independently resolve complex technical issues.
• Demonstrated technical leadership experience, including leading technical projects or key software features, conducting code reviews, mentoring engineers, and driving engineering best practices.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with Product Management, Hardware, Test Engineering, FAE, and other cross-functional teams.
