• Write manufacturing test software and contribute to embedded firmware development when time allows.

Essential Requirements:

• 4+ years of professional hardware device development experience.
• Hands-on experience with embedded microcontroller design, digital and analogue circuit design, and wired/wireless communications.
• Proficient in schematic capture, PCB layout, and prototype debugging.
• Experience with EMC and safety regulatory compliance.
• Proven collaboration with manufacturing partners and test solution development.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills; fluent written and spoken English.
• Empathy, adaptability, and composure in a scale-up environment.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience with Python, C, Linux, and board bring-up software.
• Familiarity with the KiCad design suite.
• Demonstrated interest and experience in IoT device design.
