- Implement and maintain low-level communication protocols (UART, SPI, I²C, CAN, EtherCAT, etc.).
- Design and refine embedded command interfaces, configuration utilities, and automated test frameworks.
- Optimize performance, reliability, and timing synchronization across distributed embedded systems.
- Collaborate across disciplines to ensure firmware integrates seamlessly with high-level software and data systems.

- 8+ years of experience developing embedded systems in C, C++, and/or Rust.
- Experience with real-time MCU development (bare metal or RTOS-based).
- Strong understanding of digital communication protocols (UART, SPI, I²C).
- Familiarity with mixed-signal circuit design and debugging using oscilloscopes, DMMs, and logic analyzers.
- Experience with version control systems (Git).
- Scripting experience in Python for automation, hardware bring-up, or testing.
