Senior Firmware / Edge Expert for EdgeX (HX) Integration - 100% Remote - Start : 02 / 2026

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.

Your Profile

• 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.

Engagement Details

• 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
