Proficiency in Embedded C and Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS)

Confident with embedded software debugging using standard tools

Familiarity with common communications protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, UDP/TCP)

Strong attention to detail and an awareness of the impact of design decisions

Enthusiasm for technology, innovation, and product development

Patience and persistence when things don't go to plan



*As this being a design-focused role, applicants will be required to show a portfolio of their past design and development work.



Bonus points if you have:



Previous experience taking a project from concept to production (DfM/DfT)

Medical, RF, or High-speed hardware design experience
