  • Develop production-grade firmware for ARM Cortex-M MCUs, including RTOS integration, peripheral drivers, low-level bring-up, and power optimization.
  • Design and implement wireless communication stacks: BLE (GATT/GAP), Wi-Fi, and cellular (LTE-M / NB-IoT).
  • Build secure OTA update mechanisms with rollback protection and cryptographic validation.
  • Integrate device-side IoT protocols (MQTT, CoAP) with cloud platforms such as AWS IoT Core.
  • Collaborate with hardware teams on board bring-up, debugging, and system validation.
  • Design and develop native Android (Kotlin/Java) and iOS (Swift) applications for connected devices.
  • Implement device discovery, provisioning, BLE/Wi-Fi pairing, and real-time communication with firmware.
  • Architect scalable mobile apps using modern patterns:
    • Android: MVVM, Coroutines, Jetpack
    • iOS: MVVM/Combine/SwiftUI or UIKit
  • Ensure robust connectivity handling, background execution, and reconnection strategies across diverse devices.
  • Deliver OTA firmware updates through mobile apps.
  • Design end-to-end connectivity between device, mobile apps, and cloud services.
  • Integrate with AWS IoT services (IoT Core, Device Shadow, MQTT broker, OTA services).
  • Build secure device provisioning and authentication workflows.
  • Collaborate on backend APIs and data pipelines supporting connected products.
  • Implement secure embedded and mobile systems:
    • Secure boot
    • Encrypted communication (TLS)
    • Signed firmware and authenticated updates
  • Support manufacturing workflows including DFM, factory provisioning, and test tooling.
  • Assist with wireless certifications (FCC, CE, Bluetooth SIG).
  • Maintain high-quality technical documentation across firmware, mobile, and cloud layers.
