At Cisco Meraki, we know that technology can connect, empower, and drive us. Our mission is to simplify technology so our customers can focus on what's most meaningful to them: their students, patients, customers, and businesses. We’re making networking easier, faster, and smarter with technology that simply works. Platform Bring-up Engineers take the lead in building new prototype hardware by integrating bootloader, vendor board support packages and device drivers. Our device firmware is built on Linux and open-source software. We work individually and in small teams to release several new MR products each year.

As a Senior Platform Engineer, you will focus on the following:

  • Define next generation architecture, mentor engineers and delegate development to others where required
  • Own projects from block-diagram concepts, to prototype boards that don’t boot, all the way to shipping products
  • Collaborate with Product Management, Quality Assurance teams and Manufacturing Partners to develop secure, reliable, and scalable manufacturing processes
  • Collaborate with Hardware Engineering team on vendor/chipset selection and influence high-level architecture for new Meraki products
  • Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers
  • Collaborate with other Engineers across product teams to continually improve our firmware design, development, and deployment practices
  • Be a part of the leadership of the larger MR team: weighing in on development priorities, projects going on across the team, etc.

You are an ideal candidate if you:

  • BS/MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science or equivalent experience
  • Have 4+ years advanced programming skills in C and/or C++ for operating system kernel & systems development
  • 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), bootloader (U-Boot, coreboot, UEFI), kernel configuration, device drivers, device trees
  • Know common bus protocols like I2C, SPI, PCIe, USB and MDIO
  • Are comfortable using network protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to solve problems at all layers of the stack
  • Have experience reading schematics and data sheets

Bonus points for:

  • Knowledge of wireless protocols (e.g., 802.11, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Thread)

We encourage you to drop us a line even if you don’t have all the points above. That's a lot of different areas of responsibility! We will help you pick them up because we believe that great engineers come from diverse backgrounds.
