• Define device lifecycle, versioning, and compatibility rules
• Work closely with hardware and systems engineers on device cloud contracts
• Mentor firmware engineers and enforce coding & reliability standards
• Ensure devices remain stable in long-term, unattended field deployments

Required Experience

• 812+ years in embedded firmware development
• Strong expertise in Embedded C
• Hands-on experience with MCUs (STM32 / NXP / TI / ESP32 or similar)
• RTOS experience (Free RTOS or equivalent)
• Proven experience implementing OTA firmware updates
• Experience shipping and supporting field-deployed IoT or industrial devices
• Strong debugging skills on real hardware

Preferred Experience

• GSM / LTE / LoRa / Wi-Fi based devices
