Understand trade-offs when it comes to topics such as memory, processor capabilities, hardware offloading, latency/bandwidth, or build versus re-use
Can use version control, such as Git (hint: we use it), and you might be pedantic about how you version your software (like using SemVer)
Demonstrate a core competency in one, or many, of the following: networking communication, distributed computing, Linux driver development, middleware frameworks, state machine modeling, real-time operating systems, software/hardware simulations, or pick your flavor of nerding out and tell us!
Most importantly, want to learn, and want to be challenged
Have read all of this and are excited to apply!
