****Software Engineer Team Lead – BSP & Firmware

****Location: Raanana

****About Us

**DriveNets is a leader in disaggregated high-scale networking solutions for service providers and AI infrastructures. Founded in December 2015, DriveNets created a radical new way to build networks by adapting the architectural model of the cloud to telco-grade networking. This solution accelerates network deployment, improves the network’s economic model, and radically simplifies network operations. With customers including Comcast, Orange, and KDDI - over 80% of AT&T’s network traffic now runs through a disaggregated core powered by DriveNets software. DriveNets Network Cloud-AI solution, based on the same technology, was introduced to the market in 2023, providing the highest-performance Ethernet-based AI networking solution, and is already deployed by Hyperscalers, NeoClouds and Enterprises. Raising over $587 million in three funding rounds, DriveNets continues to deploy the most innovative network infrastructure and is looking for the most talented people to be part of this journey.

**The Role

**DriveNets is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Software Engineer to join our Hardware Software team. In this role, you will be responsible for the development and integration of Board Support Packages (BSP) and low-level firmware components for our carrier-grade networking solutions. Carrier-grade routers/switches designed for service providers or data center networks. The systems integrate ASICs and high-throughput backplanes supporting multi-terabit line rates. You will work closely with hardware, platform, and system architects to bring up new hardware platforms and support advanced network functionalities in high-performance environments.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and maintain BSP components, including bootloaders (e.g., U-Boot), device trees, and hardware abstraction layers.
• Design and implement firmware and low-level drivers for network-centric hardware platforms (e.g., ASICs, NICs, SoCs, CPLDs, FPGAs).
• Support hardware bring-up and board validation, collaborating with hardware engineers and system integrators.
• Work on performance optimization, debugging, and stability improvements of system software on embedded Linux platforms.
• Interface with third-party SDKs and adapt them to fit within DriveNets’ software infrastructure.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices for networking and embedded systems.

**Requirements

**Requirements:

• BSc or MSc in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in embedded software development, preferably in the networking or telecommunications industry.
• Proficiency in C/C++ for low-level system development.
• Strong experience with embedded Linux, bootloaders, kernel configuration, and driver development.
• Familiarity with SoC architectures (e.g., ARM, MIPS) and board bring-up procedures.
• Hands-on experience with hardware debugging tools (oscilloscopes, JTAG, logic analyzers).
• Knowledge of networking protocols and hardware (Ethernet, switching/routing, PHYs) is a strong plus.
• Experience with Broadcom SDKs, ONIE, or network operating systems (NOS) is an advantage.

Nice To Have

• Background in data center or service provider environments.
• Exposure to high end routers or switches platforms

Why DriveNets?

• Work on cutting-edge cloud-native networking solutions that scale to the world’s largest networks.
• Be part of a fast-paced, innovative team that’s transforming the telecom and hyperscale networking space.
• Great growth opportunities in a global, technology-driven company.
