The Ideal Candidate

You enjoy developing software that interacts with real-world hardware and want to understand how the entire product works rather than being limited to one isolated piece of code.

You are comfortable debugging acrosssoftware, Linux, networking and hardware boundaries, and you approach unfamiliar technical problems systematically. You can independently deliver assigned development work while collaborating with senior engineers when architectural or system-level decisions are required.

This is an opportunity to join an established product-development environment and learn directly from an experienced embedded developer while taking increasing ownership of the company's embedded software platform.
