• Proven experience collaborating with ODM/JDM partners on embedded systems or consumer electronics products.
• Hands-on expertise with BLE, Wi-Fi, Cellular (LTE-M/NB-IoT), and GNSS/GPS modules and firmware stacks.
• Strong ability to design low-power firmware and optimize wireless performance for battery-operated devices.
• Familiarity with MCU platforms (ARM Cortex-M) and RTOS environments (FreeRTOS, Zephyr, etc.).
• Strong debugging skills using RF tools, protocol analyzers, and embedded development environments.
• Solid understanding of IoT protocols, embedded security practices (secure boot, encrypted communications), and OTA workflows.
• Preferred: experience with global ODMs/JDMs delivering products at scale, wireless module/RFIC vendor SDKs (Quectel, u-blox, Nordic, Murata, SiLabs), cloud-connected IoT systems (AWS IoT, Azure IoT), factory firmware and production test support, and scripting languages (Python) for automation.

Benefits

• Competitive salary range: $130,000 - $165,000.
• Comprehensive health coverage including medical, dental, and vision.
• 401(k) retirement plan with company contributions.
