RDKB Architect

JD:

• At least 12-15 years’ experience in working with development of broadband devices and its releated components.
• Understanding of embedded systems and experience working with low-level hardware, including an understanding of CPU architectures, memory management, and device drivers.
  • Proficiency in Linux and experience in configuring, customizing, and building Linux distributions, as RDK-B is built on top of Linux.
  • Strong programming skills in C and C++, which are the primary languages used in RDK-B development.
  • Familiarity with networking protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, DNS, and VLANs and other relevant protocols for networking devices.
  • Knowledge of the Yocto build system.
  • Understanding of the Linux kernel, as RDK-B often involves kernel-level customization. This includes kernel configuration, device drivers, and kernel modules.
  • Understanding of Linux system programming.
  • Lead the design and development of software architecture, defining the structure and components of complex systems. Create architectural blueprints that guide the development team.
  • You should have experience in defining the architecture for at least one broadband component.
  • Proficiency with version control systems like Git for managing code repositories and collaboration with other developers.
  • Scripting skills in shell languages like Bash for automation and scripting tasks in RDK-B
  • Awareness of security best practices, as network devices need to be secure. This includes understanding encryption, authentication, and network security.
  • Understanding of wireless technologies, including Wi-Fi, and how to configure wireless interfaces in RDK-B
  • Familiarity with web-based user interfaces and web server technologies. RDK-B often includes web interfaces for configuration.
  • Proficiency in debugging tools and techniques, as embedded systems can be challenging to troubleshoot.
  • Good project management skills to plan, prioritize, and execute tasks effectively, especially when working on complex, long-term projects.
