This is a networking role, so you should know networking fundamentals like TCP/IP and how the whole network stack works - from drivers through applications
You should also understand application-level protocols like HTTP (and how application developers use those protocols)
You know how to triage complicated system-wide issues in a team
Our operating systems are Linux, Android, and QNX - you should know how networking operates on at least one of these platforms
Most of our code is written in C, C++, and Java, so we expect you know at least one of these languages well

5+ years software development experience
Preferred
Knowing WiFi, LTE, 5G, Bluetooth and/or UWB is great. (If you don't know those things, you will if you work here!)
Vehicles are 'data centers on wheels,' so physical connectivity is important
If you've used a packet sniffer or protocol analyzer, you're a great fit for us

We value writing and collaboration skills – they're key to good system design
