Embedded Connectivity Engineer

Our Firmware RTOS team develops the mission-critical communications stack, operating on a dual-processor architecture. The team's objectives center on maintaining hard real-time determinism for the P25 LMR radio stack while integrating a massive suite of broadband connectivity modules without mutual interference.

• At least 7 years of commercial experience in embedded development with expertise in C/C++.
• Deep knowledge of RTOS and microcontroller architectures (ARM, RISC-V).
• Proven track record of bringing up new hardware and working with reference design boards or evaluation kits.
• Extensive experience designing high-bandwidth, low-latency Inter-Processor Communication (IPC).
• Solid experience integrating cellular modems (AT commands, modem control layers) at the firmware level.
• Knowledge of communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART) and low-level device driver integration.
• Proficiency in the full SDLC, including Git, CMake, code reviews, and continuous integration.
• Ability to work with high autonomy and take ownership of complex modules.
• Excellent communication skills for technical discussions and documentation.
• Upper-Intermediate level in written and spoken English (B2).

Nice to have:

• Familiarity with 3GPP Release 16/17 standards, MCPTT frameworks, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, UWB, or GNSS integration.
• Experience in basic hardware diagnostics (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers) and basic soldering.
• Experience with cellular logging and diagnostic tools.
• Familiarity with RF signal processing or physical coexistence challenges.
• Experience in embedded Linux development.
• Experience using AI-powered tools to enhance productivity and code quality.

• Contribute to architectural decisions, component selection, and hardware-software co-design for the new platform.
• Design and develop high-quality code in C/C++ for RTOS-based and simple scheduler-based MCUs.
• Break down complex tasks, lead feature development, and drive prototypes to production-ready status.
• Provide accurate estimates and development commitments based on the feature PRD.
• Integrate and configure pre-certified 5G/LTE modem modules from the early bringup phase.
• Develop the connectivity manager logic on the Communications Processor to handle seamless fallback transitions between 5G, LTE, and P25 LMR.
• Design and document the Inter-Processor Communication (IPC) API contract between the Application Processor and communications controller.
• Optimise firmware to support rigorous carrier and public safety certifications.
• Collaborate closely with software, hardware, and RF teams to create high-quality prototypes and innovative products.
• Regularly report project status and technical risks during meetings with management.
