• Architect and implement a Local Profile Assistant (LPA) for eSIM profile lifecycle management
• Develop secure channel protocols (SCP03, SCP80/81) between the platform and eUICC
• Integrate SM-DP+ provisioning flows for remote profile download and activation
• Implement connection management with failover, reconnection, and multi-SIM orchestration
• Drive modem firmware update (FOTA) strategy and implementation
• Lead carrier certification efforts (GCF, PTCRB) and GSMA compliance (SAS-UP, SAS-SM)
• Define the technical roadmap for next-generation modem and eSIM platform capabilities
• Design and implement CI/CD pipelines and automated test frameworks for modem and eSIM firmware
• Build hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test infrastructure and automated fleet provisioning workflows

• Collaborate with mobile network operators, eUICC vendors, and chipset vendors for interoperability

The skills you bring

• 10+ years in embedded Linux, modem, or telecom development; 5+ years in cellular modem driver development
• 3+ years each with eSIM/eUICC integration (GSMA RSP), OpenWrt or similar embedded Linux, and technical leadership
• Linux kernel modem driver development (USB, PCIe, qmi_wwan, mhi)
• OpenWrt/LEDE build system, package development, and platform customization
• eSIM/eUICC architecture and GSMA RSP specifications (SGP.02, SGP.22, SGP.32)
• Cellular modem control interfaces (QMI, RMNET, AT commands, NCM)
• Secure element communication (ISO 7816, APDU, SCP03)
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded Linux and real-time systems
• Network stack expertise (iptables/nftables, iproute2, netifd, routing, NAT)
