• Strong proficiency in embedded C.

• Hands‑on experience working with microcontrollers and hardware peripherals.

• Experience with Git or similar version‑control systems.

• Strong hardware and firmware debugging skills.

• Ability to work effectively in an onsite, cross‑functional engineering environment.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

• LinkedIn profile required.

Additional Qualifications for Senior‑Level Candidates

• Experience with CAN, Modbus, SPI, and I2C communication protocols.

• Experience developing firmware in RTOS environments.

• Proficiency with JTAG and oscilloscope‑based debugging.

• Experience with MISRA-C or similar embedded coding standards.

• Experience mentoring engineers or providing technical leadership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in appliance, industrial controls, IoT, motor drives, or related embedded systems.

• Bare‑metal MCU development experience.

• Experience with STM32, PIC, ARM Cortex‑M, or Renesas platforms.

• Exposure to functional safety practices or standards.

• Experience developing firmware for products that progress from prototype through production.
