Basic understanding of Linux concepts such as device trees, drivers, and user-space vs. kernel-space responsibilities
Experience or interest in containerized environments on embedded platforms (e.g., Docker)
Ability to interface low-level embedded code with higher-level application layers, including C#-based services
Foundational debugging and troubleshooting skills using standard embedded tools (e.g., JTAG/SWD, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes)
Ability to write readable, maintainable code and follow established coding standards
3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, or equivalent hands-on experience through internships, academic projects, or personal work
Experience developing software for embedded or hardware-adjacent systems in a Linux environment
Working knowledge of low-level programming concepts, including memory management and basic concurrency
Experience integrating and debugging hardware peripherals over I²C, SPI, RS-485, and Ethernet
Ability to support hardware bring-up and assist with debugging early-stage designs under guidance from senior engineers
Comfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams, including software, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineering
Willingness to learn new tools, technologies, and hardware platforms as products evolve
Familiarity with modern development workflows such as version control and issue tracking (i.e., Git)
Strong verbal and written communication skills are essential for effectively collaborating with multidisciplinary teams, including software, electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing engineers
The ability to clearly convey technical information, actively participate in team discussions, and document work processes is required
This role also demands the capacity to interact professionally with colleagues, management, and external partners, adapting communication style as needed for diverse audiences
Proficiency in modern development tools is central to this role
Candidates should demonstrate strong experience with version control systems such as Git and issue tracking platforms, which are critical for managing software projects and supporting collaborative workflows
