· Support edge-to-cloud data pipelines and command execution
Security & Device Management
· Implement secure communication using certificates and TLS
· Ensure device hardening and compliance with security best practices
· Support OTA updates and device lifecycle management
Debugging & Support
· Troubleshoot issues in deployed gateways (remote and onsite)
· Perform root cause analysis for system, network, and application issues
· Collaborate with hardware, cloud, and platform teams for resolution
Required Skills & Qualifications
· 3–8 years of experience in embedded systems / edge application development
· Strong programming skills in C / C++ (mandatory) and working knowledge of Python
· Hands-on experience with Linux systems (Ubuntu required, Yocto preferred)
· Experience with Docker/containerization in edge environments
· Knowledge of Azure IoT Edge / IoT Hub or similar IoT platforms
· Experience with industrial protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, etc.)
· Understanding of networking concepts (TCP/IP, serial communication)
· Familiarity with system tools such as systemd, shell scripting, logging frameworks
Preferred Skills & Qualifications
· Experience with Yocto build system and custom Linux image creation
· Knowledge on ODVA Compliance
· Exposure to Edge AI / signal processing (FFT, vibration analytics)
· Experience with OTA tools (e.g., Canonical Landscape/Mender)
· Knowledge of cybersecurity practices for embedded/edge devices
· Familiarity with Azure ecosystem (IoT Hub, Event Hub, cloud integration)
· Experience working in Industrial IoT / manufacturing environments
