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-productive. 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 Firmware Engineer Lead, based in Pune.

Required Experience:
- Experience developing embedded firmware for PCIe products.
- High level of proficiency in C (preferred) or C++, including development of C-based SDKs.
- High level of proficiency in Python for automating pre-processors/post-processors.




- Working knowledge of software/firmware build environments, gcc/Make, Doxygen, and GitHub.
- Hands-on experience with Server, Storage, and/or Networking equipment (e.g. Network Switches).
- Familiarity with SoC interfaces to common IP blocks such as PCIe Controllers, NVME Controllers, AMBA/AHB interfaces, on-chip memory interfaces, and other similar interfaces
- Direct experience working on products with high-speed interfaces common in Data Center equipment: PCI- Express (Gen-3 and above), 100/400G Ethernet, Infiniband, NVMe, etc

Preferred Experience:
- Experience developing firmware to execute in on-chip microcontrollers as well as C-language SDKs to execute on system management controllers (e.g. BMC)
- Experience with industry forums and collaboration workgroups such as OCP and OpenBMC
- Experience with storage or SSD firmware, including NVMe, PCIe, CXL or flash management concepts.
- Hands-on experience with simulation or virtual platform
