Key Responsibilities
* Design, develop, and maintain embedded firmware for battery-powered IoT dataloggers.
* Implement robust modem communication stacks for LTE Cat 1, NB IoT, LTE M, and multi band 2G/3G fallback where applicable.
* Integrate sensing technologies including pressure, flow, acoustic, ultrasonic, temperature, analogue (0–10V, 4–20mA), and digital pulse inputs.
* Develop efficient data logging, power management, wake/sleep regimes, and OTA update mechanisms.
* Deliver secure, reliable communication using HTTPS, MQTT, or similar protocols.
Skills & Experience
* Strong professional experience in embedded firmware development for IoT devices.
* Proficiency in C/C++, TI MSP, Atmel, ST Microelectronics microcontrollers and embedded debugging.
* Hands on experience with 4G modems, especially LTE Cat M1 / NB IoT / LTE Cat 1, including AT command stacks and vendor SDKs.
