** About the Team
** The Bluetooth R&D team at Silicon Labs develops and maintains embedded firmware for wireless products across Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The team works on performance-critical, standards-compliant firmware enabling advanced use cases such as audio streaming, HFP calling, and LE Audio, in close collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams across multiple global locations.
** Key Responsibilities
*** Design, implement, and maintain real-time embedded firmware in C/C++ for resource-constrained systems.
* Own complex firmware features from design through implementation, debugging, and release.
* Develop timing-critical, performance-sensitive code with strong attention to memory, power, and CPU constraints.
* Debug complex system-level issues spanning firmware, hardware, and protocol interactions.
* Contribute to multi-protocol and wireless coexistence (CoEx) solutions.
* Participate in technical design reviews, code reviews, and product qualification activities.
* Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams including systems, PHY/RF, validation, and customer-facing engineering teams.
* Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and contribute to team knowledge sharing.
** Required Skills and Experience
*** Strong, hands-on experience in embedded firmware development, with deep proficiency in C/C++.
* Solid understanding of real-time systems, interrupts, concurrency, and low-level hardware interactions.
