About The Position

The Infosys Engineering unit focuses on product-centric value delivery through innovative engineering solutions, using data-first engineering and value-stream management. It leverages AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics to improve delivery processes, accelerate time to market, and provide stakeholders with real-time visibility and insights. In the assigned Architecture Consultant 2 role, the employee gathers and analyzes customer requirements for system performance, security, and scalability; contributes to solution and enterprise architecture; evaluates technologies and tools; and helps develop and validate integration strategies. The role also supports knowledge transfer, quality standards, build and deployment automation, and resolution of complex technical issues throughout build, deployment, and support. The employee analyzes system performance and risks and documents architectural frameworks and technical solutions. The position seeks an experienced RDK-B firmware engineer to design, develop, integrate, and validate firmware and software components for DOCSIS, Wi-Fi, and broadband gateway platforms based on the RDK-B stack. The work involves broadband gateway development, embedded Linux, Wi-Fi technologies, and related development, integration, testing, and maintenance of RDK-based devices such as gateways and routers. The role requires 8–10 years of experience. A bachelor’s degree or foreign equivalent from an accredited institution is required, though three years of progressive specialty experience may be considered in lieu of each year of education. Relocation and/or travel to the work or project location may be required. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without employer-based visa sponsorship; Infosys cannot provide immigration sponsorship for this role.
