Description
We are looking for an experienced Senior Firmware/Edge Expert to support a one-time migration project for integrating EdgeX (HX) into existing firmware. The current firmware, based on C++ and FreeRTOS, is no longer compliant with modern security regulations such as NIS2 and EU requirements. As a result, the migration will first involve porting the existing business logic to Linux and then moving towards a containerized architecture using EdgeX as the framework for edge devices.
The goal is to create a universal, configurable platform with shared core modules and product-specific components layered on top, supporting multiple products in the future.
Your Responsibilities
Firmware Migration: Port existing business logic from C++/FreeRTOS to Linux to ensure identical behavior on customer devices.
Driver and Hardware Abstraction: Implement missing drivers and hardware abstraction to ensure smooth operation.
System Architecture & Service Communication: Focus on EdgeX integration with a clear separation between hardware layer (drivers, readers, devices) and application/business logic (isolated services).
Optimization & Enhancement: While the primary focus is on migration, optimization and feature enhancements will follow after successful integration.
Collaboration & Knowledge Transfer: Work independently and ensure a clear transfer of knowledge to internal engineers.
Work Model: Fully remote
Language: English (strong communication skills required)
Start Date: ASAP (Realistically January/February 2026)
Duration: Estimated up to 6 months, with potential for earlier completion in 3–4 months
Key Value: Knowledge transfer to internal engineers and ensuring smooth integration
Requirements
- Strong Embedded Linux Experience: Proven expertise in embedded Linux systems, including firmware development and migration.
- Experience with Containers & Microservices: Hands-on experience with containerization and microservices architectures, particularly in edge/IoT devices.
- EdgeX Knowledge: While experience with EdgeX is rare, it’s highly desirable. Familiarity with open-source, vendor-neutral frameworks is a plus.
- Independent & Ownership: Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and handle complex migration tasks with minimal supervision.
- Clear Communication: Strong communication skills for knowledge transfer and collaboration with internal teams.
