Must-Have Skills:

·         3+ years of experience in embedded software development using C (C++ is a plus).

·         Strong knowledge of RDK-B/OpenWRT/prplOS architecture and broadband gateway technologies.

·         Hands-on experience with embedded Linux, including kernel-level concepts and system debugging.

·         Solid understanding of TCP/IP stack, networking protocols (DHCP, DNS, HTTP), and packet flow.

·         Experience with firewall/iptables, and IPv6 transition technologies.

·         Familiarity with source control tools (Git/Gerrit) and debugging tools (gdb, valgrind, wireshark, tcpdump).

·         Strong problem-solving and debugging skills in complex embedded environments.

Good-to-Have Skills:

·         Experience with Wi-Fi technologies and IEEE 802.11 standards (802.11n/ac/ax).

·         Knowledge of DOCSIS, MoCA, and other broadband technologies.

·         Familiarity with TR-069/TR-181, SNMP, and remote management protocols.

·         Exposure to chipset SDKs (Broadcom, Qualcomm, etc.).

·         Understanding security protocols (WPA3, RADIUS, SSL/TLS).

·         Experience with containerization (Docker) and CI/CD pipelines.

·         Scripting skills in Python or Shell for automation and testing.
