Full job description

At Kandou, we are redefining the economics of AI infrastructure. Our mission is to democratise AI by significantly reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of hardware systems — a critical barrier to scalable adoption.

Our proprietary MIMO-over-copper technology powers a high-performance, chiplet-based AI memory fabric that is both scalable and energy-efficient. Unlike traditional interconnects, our solution reduces power consumption significantly while preserving high bandwidth and ultra-low latency — unlocking unprecedented efficiency for AI training and inference at scale.

Kandou’s architecture is not just an incremental improvement — it’s a foundational shift in how AI hardware is built for the future.

We are actively seeking a Software Engineer (Firmware) Lead, based in Hyderabad OR Bangalore

Responsibilities:

  • Work to develop, test and maintain embedded firmware for silicon products.

  • Ensuring the robustness of code by implementing and running a software test suite

  • Migration, consolidation and development of existing silicon debug software

  • Software design and support for our silicon design infrastructure

•

Essential Experience:

  • Strong experience in designing, coding and debugging real-time applications in C and/or C++ in a embedded environment

  • Experience in using or implementing Real-Time scheduler or RTOS

  • Knowledge of 32-bit processor architecture

  • Interfacing to hardware and peripherals: SPI, I2C/SMBus, JTAG

  • Debugging at application and hardware level

  • Appreciation of Software validation and verification techniques

  • Ability to develop under different platforms (Linux, Windows)

  • Use of modern SW development workflows (CI/gitlab/makefile/CMake etc.)

  • Independent, self starter who can help drive the firmware development forward.

Useful Experience:

  • Development in a modern high-level scripting language (e.g. Python, Lua).

  • Experience interfacing to flash memory, including in-field update techniques

  • Appreciation of Cryptographic algorithms and disciplines

  • Knowledge of SerDes technology

  • Hardware interfacing and electronics knowledge

  • Network programming experience

Experience:

  • Experience working in a team

  • Experience in embedded C/C++

  • Experience coding a low-level microprocessor or microcontroller

  • Experience optimizing low level code to meet real-time performance targets

  • Experience programming in interpreted object-oriented high-level languages (e.g. Python)

  • Experience working and programming on multiple platforms (e.g. Unix, Linux, Window and OSX)

If this is the role you have been looking for and you want to be part of a growing Company, with an exciting future then we would really love to hear from you. Together We Kandou It!
