• Lead and contribute to end-to-end software development for networking platforms (concept, design, development, integration, testing).
• Develop and maintain Linux kernel drivers, modules, and hardware interface layers (I2C, PCIe, SPI, etc.).
• Perform platform bring-up and hardware/software integration for new boards and chipsets.
• Debug and analyze complex hardware–software interaction issues using tools like Arium, BDI, GDB, and I2C trace analyzers.
• Conduct root-cause analysis and performance optimization for platform issues involving I2C, PCIe, and other buses.
• Work with PPC, ARM, and x86 architectures; read and interpret low-level assembly when required.
• Design and implement automation scripts (Shell/Python) for system testing, longevity, and validation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (hardware, firmware, network software) to deliver high-quality, robust platform software.
• Support L2/L3 networking protocols and LAN/WAN interface integration in embedded network systems.
• Participate in design reviews, code reviews, and contribute to continuous improvement of development processes.

Required Skills and Experience:

• 8–15 years of experience in platform or embedded software development for networking or hardware systems.
• Strong hands-on experience with Linux kernel internals, driver development, and device interfaces (I2C, PCIe, SPI).
• Proven debugging skills using hardware and software debuggers (Arium, BDI, GDB, etc.).
• Good understanding of PPC, ARM, and x86 architectures and ability to interpret assembly code.
• Strong proficiency in C programming with experience in large-scale software systems.
• Experience in source code management (Git, SVN) and UNIX/Linux development environments.
• Working knowledge of Ethernet Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking protocols (VLAN, ARP, IPv4/IPv6, OSPF, BGP).
• Experience designing or running longevity and stress tests using Shell/Python scripting.
• Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills.
• Proven track record of delivering results under tight schedules in a cross-functional team environment.

Preferred / Desirable Skills:

• Experience with Broadcom (BCM) chipsets, SDK integration, or network ASICs.
• Familiarity with Cloud Networking, Virtualization, or SDN technologies.
• Experience with U-Boot, BSP development, and bootloader customization.
• Exposure to platform management software or system-level monitoring frameworks.
• Knowledge of DPDK, Open vSwitch, or SONiC is a plus.
