Device Driver Engineer – Cross-Platform Porting & DFU at Remote Poland

Job Description:

We are seeking a highly skilled Device Driver Engineer to lead the porting and integration of legacy Windows drivers to MacOS platforms, specifically focusing on Settings and DFU (Device Firmware Update) functionalities. The role involves working with a variety of drivers, including legacy, BT, Sync, Studio, Bright, and Trio, and integrating them with PolyBus and Iterators.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Driver Porting and Integration:
   • Port existing Windows drivers (legacy, BT, Sync, Studio, Bright, Trio, etc.) to MacOS, ensuring compatibility with Settings and DFU (Device Firmware Update).
   • Integrate the ported drivers with PolyBus and Iterators, ensuring smooth performance and operational stability.
2. Technical Implementation:
   • Conduct driver porting without refactoring Clockwork (CW) components, adhering to project scope constraints.
   • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure that all technical requirements are met during the porting process.
3. Assumption Management:
   • Work within the defined scope, ensuring no integration with DeviceSDK is included in this phase of the project.
   • Maintain and follow project timelines while addressing technical challenges during the porting process.
4. Testing and Validation:
   • Perform extensive testing on the ported drivers to ensure their functionality on MacOS platforms.
   • Troubleshoot and resolve any issues that arise during the porting and integration phases.

Required Skills and Experience:

• Programming in C/C++: Proficient in C/C++ with experience in low-level driver development.
• Experience with Applications for Mac Platforms: Hands-on experience in developing or porting applications and drivers for MacOS.
• Background Processing and Multi-threading: Strong understanding of background processes, multi-threading, and concurrency in driver operations.
• Bluetooth/USB Communication: Proven experience with Bluetooth and USB communication protocols, particularly in a driver development context.
• Proven experience in driver development and porting across operating systems, particularly from Windows to MacOS.
• Strong understanding of device firmware update (DFU) mechanisms and their integration with system drivers.
• Familiarity with PolyBus, Iterators, and related technologies.
• Solid grasp of both legacy and modern driver architectures.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and within a team.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with cross-platform development, especially in MacOS environments.
• Proficiency in working with a variety of driver categories such as BT, Sync, Studio, Bright, and Trio.
