Meraki Software Engineers breathe life into our cloud-managed networking devices, which range from switches, routers, and wireless access points to desktop phones and cameras. We use real-time telemetry from thousands of deployed networks spanning the globe to continuously improve the performance and stability of our products.

Our Embedded Platform Engineers take ownership in building new Meraki products by integrating everything from bootloaders to web servers on prototype hardware. Our device firmware is built on Linux and open-source software. We work individually and in small teams to release several new products each year.

The MV camera platform team is a fast-moving team building smart cameras with a unique edge-storage architecture. The Meraki MV system is powerful, secure, and does not rely on any on-premise servers, making it easy to deploy and scale from one to hundreds of cameras per site. Today, cameras are mainly used for security, but what if they could be used for more? Imagery from a camera is information that can tackle a problem or offer an alternative insight. MV cameras blend the best of cloud and IoT technology, making it simpler and easier for customers to use the camera as a sensor!

THE ROLE:

• Own and lead projects from block-diagram concepts, to prototype boards that dont boot, all the way to shipping product.

• Develop, port, and debug Linux device drivers.

• Teamwork & debugging with the hardware team when things dont go quite as planned (a board doesnt boot, an LED doesnt light, use a JTAG debugger or logic analyzer)

• Collaborate with other Platform Bring-up Engineers on improvements of our firmware design, development, and deployment practices.

• Collaborate with our Hardware Engineering team on component selection and high-level architecture for new Meraki products.

• Collaborate with our manufacturing partners and guide them in development of secure, reliable, and scalable manufacturing processes.

ABOUT YOU:

• Track of programming experience in C or C++.

• Experience bringing embedded Linux products to market.

• Systems and networking foundational knowledge (e.g. systems architecture, memory hierarchy, storage subsystems, LANs, routing).

• Knowledge of embedded systems development concepts

BONUS POINTS:

• Comfortable with either cross-platform development, build tools (e.g. GNU toolchain, OpenWRT, buildroot, Yocto), bootloaders (U-Boot, coreboot, UEFI), kernel configuration, device drivers / trees, etc.

• Understanding of common bus protocols, e.g. I2C, SPI, and MDIO.

• Comfortable using network protocol analyzers, logic analyzers, hardware debuggers, and source-level debuggers to tackle problems at all layers of the stack.

• Familiarity with schematics and data sheets.

• Comfortable with writing device drivers.

• Interest in wireless protocols (e.g., 802.11, Bluetooth).

• Curiosity about image sensors, GPUs, ISPs, DSPs, h.264 or video encoding technologies.

At Cisco Meraki, were challenging the status quo with the power of diversity, inclusion, and collaboration. When we connect different perspectives, we can imagine new possibilities, inspire innovation, and release the full potential of our people. Were building an employee experience that includes appreciation, belonging, growth, and purpose for everyone.
