Job description

We are seeking a third-party company to support the ongoing maintenance and development of the SmartHome+ Hub’s middleware. This middleware facilitates communication between the Hub and cloud services, supporting IoT protocols like Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Wi-Fi. The company will also be responsible for extending the middleware to support new technologies, such as PowerG and Matter / Thread.

In addition, the team will port the middleware to other hardware platforms, including TELUS’ Wi-Fi access points and customer premises equipment (CPE) from other communications service providers (CSPs). The Device Porting Kit (DPK) will be a key component in adapting the middleware to different devices and platforms.

We would like the third-party company to fully understand the scope and expectations before providing a proposal for a dedicated team of contractors. The proposal should address the following :

  • Team Size : Recommend an appropriate team size based on the scope and estimated workload. We expect the team may scale as new protocols are added and the platform expands.
  • Team Location : We prefer the team to be in North American time zones to ensure effective communication and coordination with our internal teams, but we are open to remote or on-site arrangements.
  • Software Development Manager : Assess whether a software development manager is necessary to oversee the team or if the work can be managed without one.

Role : Firmware Engineer

Location : Remote-Canada

Duration : 6+ Months
