Real-Time Embedded Staff Software Engineer (10208)

 

As a Real-Time Embedded Staff Software Engineer, you will serve as a senior technical leader driving the architecture, development, and evolution of our next-generation Wi-Fi solutions.

You will influence system-level design decisions, guide engineering teams, and ensure the robustness, performance, and scalability of embedded applications running on Linux OS.

Based in our Thornhill (Toronto) office, you will play a pivotal role in shaping product direction, mentoring engineers including senior engineers, and elevating engineering excellence across the organization.

 

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (Master’s preferred).
• Extensive experience in real-time embedded systems and data communication.
• Deep expertise in embedded Linux internals, kernel-space and user-space interactions, and performance optimization.
• Strong understanding of Wi-Fi protocols (IEEE 802.11) and wireless networking fundamentals.
• Advanced proficiency in C and C++ for embedded development.
• Proven track record designing and delivering complex embedded systems at scale.
• Strong experience with multi-threaded programming, concurrency models, and synchronization mechanisms.
• Solid understanding of networking technologies: Ethernet, IP, routing, switching, and LAN/WLAN concepts.
• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence across teams and present complex ideas clearly.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical initiatives and drive architectural decision

• Experience with RF systems, spectrum analyzers, and wireless test equipment.
• Background in module performance tuning, system profiling, and real-time optimization.
• Experience contributing to or maintaining Linux kernel components is a strong asset.
• Familiarity with IEEE Wi-Fi and LAN standards development or participation in standards bodies

• Lead the architecture, design, and implementation of complex real-time embedded software systems for Wi-Fi products.
• Define technical direction for embedded Linux components, ensuring long-term 
• maintainability, performance, and scalability.
• Drive cross-team technical initiatives, aligning embedded software, hardware, and systems engineering.
• Evaluate new technologies, tools, and methodologies to improve product quality and development efficiency.

• Own critical software modules end-to-end, from requirements and design through implementation, validation, and long-term sustainment.
• Maintain and enhance existing embedded Wi-Fi products, providing engineering support to customers as needed.
• Participate in requirements analysis, technical documentation reviews, and specification discussions.
• Develop and execute component-level, module-level, subsystem, and system-level test procedures.
• Provide expert-level debugging and root-cause analysis for complex issues across the embedded Linux stack.
• Lead the development of multi-threaded, high-performance applications under Linux with real-time constraints.
• Conduct and enforce code reviews sessions, offering constructive feedback and mentoring junior developers.
• Ensure engineering rigor by defining best practices, coding standards, and design patterns for embedded development.

• Partner with product management, hardware teams, and customer engineering to translate requirements into robust technical solutions.
• Act as a senior technical point of escalation for customer issues, guiding teams through complex problem resolution.
• Lead design and code reviews, providing high-quality feedback and raising the technical bar across the team.

• Mentor and coach junior and intermediate engineers, fostering growth in embedded 
• systems, networking, and Linux development.
• Champion a culture of technical excellence, continuous improvement, and knowledge sharing.
• Contribute to long-term team capability building through documentation, training, and architectural guidance.
