We’re partnering with a globally recognised tech company that has produced over 100 million devices worldwide from smart home systems and ISP networking solutions to next-generation IT platforms for enterprise environments. With their global success continuing to scale, they are now establishing a dedicated R&D team here in Australia. This is your chance to be part of something new, bold, and built from the ground up.
About the Role
You’ll work alongside a global team of highly skilled engineers to deliver the next generation of networking products. As a Senior Software Engineer, you’ll be responsible for developing low-level software to bring new hardware platforms to life, from prototype to mass production.
This is a rare opportunity to work on high-impact products from the ground up, in a company that truly values engineering excellence and autonomy.
Key Responsibilities
• Bring up embedded Linux systems on new hardware platforms.
• Design and implement software from kernel-level features to application-layer services.
• Develop and debug Linux device drivers, board support packages (BSP), and networking features.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with hardware, QA, and support teams globally.
• Contribute to the full product lifecycle – concept, development, testing, release.
Requirements
• Tertiary qualification in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field (master’s or PhD preferred).
• Strong C/C++ development skills and experience with embedded Linux.
• Hands-on knowledge of bootloaders (e.g. U-Boot), kernel development, and device drivers.
• Experience working with interfaces such as UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, and Flash memory.
• Understanding of L2/L3 networking protocols (e.g. Ethernet, TCP/IP, MAC/PHY).
• Proactive, independent problem-solver with strong debugging skills.
Desirable (Not Essential)
• Experience with networking protocols such as NAT, VPN, VLAN, STP, IGMP, LLDP, DHCP, QoS.
• Familiarity with routing protocols such as OSPF or BGP.
• Exposure to manufacturing processes and taking products to mass production.
