Role

Who you are

Have 10+ years professional experience programming in C or C++
Have strong systems and networking foundational knowledge (systems architecture, memory hierarchy, storage subsystems, LANs, routing)
Have expert knowledge of embedded systems development concepts, including cross-platform development and build tools (GNU toolchain, OpenWRT, buildroot, Yocto), bootloaders (U-Boot, coreboot, UEFI), kernel configuration, device drivers, device trees
Know common bus protocols like I2C, SPI, and MDIO
Are comfortable using network protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to troubleshoot problems at all layers of the stack
Have experience reading schematics and data sheets

Desirable

Experience writing device drivers
Upstreaming Linux patches
Knowledge of wireless protocols (e.g., 802.11, Bluetooth)
Experience with multi-threaded or parallel programming
Experience with image sensors, GPUs, ISPs, DSPs, h.264 and other video encoding technologies

What the job involves

Own projects from block-diagram concepts, to prototype boards that don’t boot, all the way to shipping product
Collaborate with our Hardware Engineering team on component selection and high-level architecture for new Meraki products
Collaborate with our manufacturing partners to develop secure, reliable, and scalable manufacturing processes
Integrate vendor board support packages and software development kits with our firmware and build system
Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers
When things don’t go quite as planned—a board doesn’t boot, an LED doesn’t light, a fan doesn’t spin—use a JTAG debugger or logic analyzer or work with the hardware team to debug the problem
Collaborate with other Platform Bring-up Engineers across product teams to continually improve our firmware design, development, and deployment practices

Our take

Cisco Meraki, formed from the acquisition of Meraki by Cisco in 2012, is an industry-leading cloud-managed IT company. Its technology provides unified management of mobile devices, Macs, PCs, and entire networks, all from a centralised dashboard.

Originally founded in 2006, Meraki's transformation to Cisco Meraki allowed it to reach more than 2 million active networks, and over 7 million devices globally, on top of gaining the strength of Cisco’s resources. The company has kept pace with the rise of hybrid workforces and multi-cloud environments with its Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) offering, which bridges networking and security so that workers have seamless, secure access wherever they are working from.

Operating in a growing industry, there is plenty of opportunity for Cisco Meraki to expand its operations, and to further develop its offerings. The company supports a range of clients, encompassing roughly 75% of Fortune 500 companies, and including names such as Audi, Applebee's, and Colliers International.
