Zebra Technologies is looking to develop a centralized Bluetooth Gateway for ring scanners to improve enterprise management of these devices, reduce operational complexity, and enhance productivity.
Requirements
- Proficiency in programming languages like C, C++, or Python, specifically for embedded systems development
- Understanding of microcontrollers, Bluetooth modules, and hardware-software integration
- Ability to work with firmware for Bluetooth communication protocols (e.g., BLE, HID, SPP)
- Knowledge of Bluetooth technology, including BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Classic Bluetooth, and their relevant profiles
- Understanding of wireless communication principles, device pairing, and multi-device connectivity
- Familiarity with debugging Bluetooth communication issues using tools like packet sniffers (e.g., Wireshark)
- Experience with software development for device management applications, particularly in creating configuration tools or APIs/SDKs
Responsibilities
- Build a centralized Bluetooth Gateway device to allow ring scanners to connect and communicate seamlessly
- Enable management of multiple ring scanners through a single gateway, reducing dependency on individual host devices (e.g., tablets or smartphones)
- Design and develop the gateway hardware with a robust Bluetooth module to handle multiple connections
- Develop firmware to support Bluetooth profiles (SPP, BLE) for seamless communication between the gateway and ring scanners
- Ensure compatibility with existing ring scanner firmware and embedded operating systems
- Create a user-friendly configuration interface for administrators to set up and manage the gateway
- Implement over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates for ring scanners and the gateway itself, ensuring devices remain up-to-date
Other
- Current enrollment in an undergraduate/graduate degree program in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or Computer Engineering
- Must have an anticipated graduation date between 2026-2027 for undergraduate students and 2026-2028 for graduate students
- Must be authorized to work in the US without requiring sponsorship now or in the future
- Intellectual curiosity with a strong desire to learn and grow
- Proven leadership and excellence in professional, academic, and/or extracurricular experiences
