Ability to understand, debug, and extend large existing software systems and codebases
Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills using tools such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG debuggers, and protocol analyzers
Experience with version control systems (Git), issue tracking tools, and CI/CD workflows
Familiarity with automated testing, unit testing, integration testing, and hardware-in-the-loop validation
Experience with bootloaders, firmware upgrade mechanisms, diagnostics and communication stacks is considered an asset
Experience developing software for Linux-based embedded systems is a plus
Experience in IoT, telecom, industrial automation, or AI-enabled systems is considered valuable
Strong communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills
