Desirable

• 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
