• Work hands-on with Jetson Nano, TX2, Xavier, AGX Orin, and related SDKs for edge AI applications.
• Integrate CUDA-based processing and leverage NVIDIA JetPack SDK for AI and embedded computing.
• Collaborate with hardware and software teams to integrate sensors, Jetson modules, and peripheral components.

System Architecture & Optimization

• Develop low-level C/C++ and Python code for real-time, high-performance applications.
• Create and optimize Linux kernel drivers for peripherals such as UART, SPI, I2C, and GPIO.
• Implement solutions using FreeRTOS or other real-time operating systems.
• Work with communication protocols such as Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BLE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN, and USB.
• Optimize firmware for low power consumption, latency, and performance on Jetson platforms.

Testing & Quality Assurance

• Conduct testing and debugging using tools such as Jetson Debug Tools, Nsight Systems, JTAG, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Maintain thorough documentation of designs, configurations, and code for compliance and knowledge sharing.
• Ensure all firmware solutions meet industry and safety standards for reliability and performance.

Qualifications:

Required

• 3+ years of experience in firmware development for embedded systems, including Jetson-based applications.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Embedded Systems, or a related field.
• Strong programming proficiency in C, C++, and Python with embedded Linux experience.
• Hands-on experience with NVIDIA Jetson SDKs, CUDA, TensorRT, and DeepStream.
• Familiarity with ARM Cortex architectures, RTOS, and bare-metal development.
• Experience using Git and CI/CD pipelines for version control and deployment.
• Strong troubleshooting and debugging skills using hardware-level tools.

Preferred

• Experience implementing AI/ML inferencing on edge devices using TensorRT.
• Knowledge of secure boot, encryption, and cybersecurity for embedded systems.
• Experience in medical, industrial, or automotive firmware development environments.
• Familiarity with FPGA programming, OpenCV, GStreamer, ROS, or TensorFlow for embedded AI applications.

Why Join:

• Salary Range: $90,000-120,000/annum
• Work on cutting-edge embedded and AI-powered technologies that directly improve real-world outcomes.
• Collaborate with a close-knit, technically deep, and mission-driven engineering team.
• Flexible, outcome-focused work environment with opportunities for professional growth.
• Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, and the chance to build solutions that make a measurable difference in technology-driven innovation.
