📍 Philadelphia, PA
Full‑Time | Onsite/Hybrid
We are seeking an experienced Embedded Middleware Engineer to join our team and contribute to the design and development of next‑generation broadband and connected home devices. This role focuses heavily on middleware development, embedded Linux, networking protocols, and Wi‑Fi‑centric system behavior, with strong preference for engineers who have worked in the RDK‑B ecosystem.
⭐ Key Responsibilities
🔧 Middleware & Embedded Development
- Develop and maintain middleware layers enabling communication between applications, broadband subsystems, and hardware components.
- Enhance embedded features to ensure reliability, performance, and seamless interaction across modules.
- Integrate SoC‑vendor software (Qualcomm, Broadcom, etc.) and validate functionality across RDK‑B or similar platforms.
🛠 Debugging & System Analysis
- Troubleshoot complex issues involving middleware, networking stacks, Wi‑Fi behavior, and hardware interactions.
- Analyze Wi‑Fi packet flows, IP traffic, and system performance to drive optimizations.
- Use logs, traces, and advanced debugging tools to identify root causes and implement stable fixes.
🌐 Protocol & Connectivity Work
- Work with core networking protocols such as DHCP, DNS, TCP/UDP, HTTP, and API‑based data exchange.
- Debug wireless packet behavior, optimize path selection, and improve overall broadband performance.
- Collaborate with networking and platform teams to fine‑tune connectivity pipelines.
💻 Software Development
- Write clean, efficient C code for embedded Linux systems, focusing on low‑level modules in resource‑limited environments.
- Enhance existing features, stabilize critical components, and contribute to system‑wide performance improvements.
- Support ongoing software updates, feature rollouts, and integration activities.
🤝 Collaboration
- Work with SoC vendors, platform architects, QA, and device engineering teams to deliver high‑quality software.
- Participate in architecture discussions, design reviews, and code reviews.
- Coordinate with cross‑functional groups to ensure smooth feature delivery and validation.
⭐ Required Skills & Experience
- Strong background in embedded systems and middleware development.
- Experience working with RDK‑B or similar broadband frameworks (highly preferred).
- Proficiency in C programming within embedded Linux ecosystems.
- Hands‑on experience integrating SoC vendor SDKs (Broadcom, Qualcomm, etc.).
- Strong knowledge of:
- IP networking fundamentals
- Wi‑Fi packet behavior & wireless communication principles
- DHCP/DNS/TCP/UDP/HTTP protocols
- Proven ability to debug low‑level system issues using logs, traces, and advanced debugging tools.
- Experience with Linux‑based embedded platforms.
⭐ Nice to Have
- Prior experience with RDK‑B or RDK‑V stacks.
- Exposure to DOCSIS, broadband gateways, or STB devices.
- Familiarity with Wi‑Fi analysis tools (Wireshark, iPerf, Aircrack, etc.).
- Scripting experience in Python or Bash for automation or testing.
⭐ Soft Skills
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving mindset.
- Ability to break down complex technical concepts into clear, simple explanations.
- Collaborative attitude with experience working in Agile or cross‑functional environments.
If you'd like, I can also create:
✔ A shorter social‑media‑friendly version
✔ A more technical version for engineering forums
✔ A branded version tailored to a specific company
