The device drivers will allow the User application, Middleware and Operating system to take full advantage of the feature rich hardware. As for the firmware it configures, controls, and monitors the communication device and interacts with the host system via device drivers to expose hardware features of the devices. Firmware code may also run as a standalone library within the device driver itself

As a part of the Software team, you will be responsible for architecture, design, implementation, testing, and integration of the device drivers rolled into Ethernovia's SDK. These drivers are built ground-up for safety critical automotive application.

Also, we build products with strict adherence to Functional Safety and hence every team member is required to fit into a culture of safety and best development practices.

Technical Qualifications:

  • Bachelors or Master's degree in Computer Science/Software or related field.
  • Work Experience: 6+ years
  • Strong understanding of Software Development lifecycle including Architecture, Implementation and Testing fundamentals.

  • Experience with Software Device Drivers, preferably for communication devices like Ethernet.
  • Deep understanding of Operating Systems, Kernel, Platform/Device drivers, preferably Linux Operating System, QNX or Real Time Operating System.
  • Experience with integration and testing with Operating System Device Driver Interfaces.
  • Hands-on experience with Hardware, preferably communication devices.
  • For Firmware role:
    • Experience with Firmware, preferably for communication devices like Ethernet.
    • Experience with integration and testing of firmware and low-level code.
    • Hands-on experience with Hardware and embedded processors, preferably for communication devices.

  • Communication/networking protocols like: Ethernet MAC, PHY, Switching, TCP/IP, Security, Serdes, PCIe, NTB, and SR-IOV.
  • Video processing standards and protocols
  • Code Version Control and Review tools/processes like Perforce/Git, Swarm.
  • Build systems like Yocto.
  • High performance drivers and test tools preferably networking and communications.
  • Virtualization and virtualized device drivers
  • Mixed Signal systems - Analog, Digital, Digital Signal Processing (DSP).
  • ARM family of processors or similar embedded processors.
  • Bootloaders like uboot or similar.

Personal Skills:
