Nice to Have

  • Experience working on Wi-Fi firmware, wireless driver stacks, or connectivity products in production environments.
  • Familiarity with Qualcomm Atheros (QCA) SDKs, OpenWRT, Debian or embedded Linux distributions.
  • Background in optimizing wireless performance across complex RF environments.
  • Hands-on experience with BLE, thermal control, or secure boot implementations.
  • Leadership in cross-functional debug efforts involving hardware, RF, and backend systems.
  • Strong ownership mindset, with the ability to work independently and deliver in fast-paced, ambiguous situations.
