Job Description

Job Summary: We are seeking an experienced Firmware Developer to join our team to design, develop, and optimize firmware for PCI-based Ethernet devices. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in embedded systems, networking protocols, and hardware/software interfacing. You will work closely with hardware engineers and software teams to develop high-performance Ethernet solutions for our PCI-based network interfaces. Key Responsibilities: Firmware Development: Design, implement, and maintain the firmware for Ethernet devices with a focus on PCI interfaces. Optimize firmware for performance, power consumption, and reliability. Network Protocols: Implement and improve various network protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, etc.) within the firmware to ensure high-speed data transmission and low-latency performance. Debugging & Testing: Use debugging tools to identify and resolve issues in firmware and hardware interactions. Perform unit testing, validation, and quality assurance to ensure the product meets functional and performance requirements. Optimization: Optimize the firmware for throughput, latency, and CPU efficiency while considering power constraints and real-time system requirements. Documentation: Create and maintain technical documentation for firmware design, architecture, testing, and troubleshooting procedures. Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with software developers, hardware engineers, and QA teams to ensure seamless integration of firmware with other system components. Continuous Improvement: Stay up-to-date with the latest trends in networking, embedded systems, and PCI technologies to propose new ideas and innovations to improve the products performance and capabilities. Qualifications: Education: Bachelors or Master s degree in Computer Science, or related field. Experience: 5+ years of experience in firmware development, preferably for networking or Ethernet-based devices. Skills: Strong proficiency in C and assembly language programming. Experience with embedded systems and real-time operating systems (RTOS). Knowledge of PCI bus architecture and the interaction between firmware and hardware. Familiarity with Ethernet protocols (TCP/IP, UDP, ARP, etc.) and standards (IEEE 802.3). Experience with hardware debugging tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and JTAG. Understanding of network interface cards (NICs) and packet processing. Strong problem-solving and debugging skills. Excellent communication and teamwork abilities. Preferred Qualifications: Experience with PCIe (PCI Express) devices. Familiarity with network performance testing tools (e.g., Wireshark, iPerf). Knowledge of advanced networking features like Quality of Service (QoS), VLAN tagging, and offloading techniques (e.g., checksum offload, TCP segmentation offload). Additional Skills: Ability to write clear, concise documentation for internal and external stakeholders. Strong analytical skills with an attention to detail. Experience in Agile software development methodologies. Location - Jaipur/Hybrid
