• Integrate networking capabilities into embedded devices (basic IP/MAC layer knowledge required).

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• Experience: 3-5 years of professional experience in embedded systems development
• Core OS Knowledge: Solid understanding of fundamental OS concepts (kernel vs. user space, task scheduling, memory management, and synchronization primitives).
• Programming Languages: Proficiency in Python, C and/or C++, including object-oriented principles.
• Networking Basics: Familiarity with networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, MAC addresses, packet inspection tools).
• Autonomy: Demonstrated ability to solve problems independently.
• Documentation: Proven track record of learning from specification documents and adapting to new protocols or standards.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with containerized Linux user space applications.
• Exposure to Yocto or kernel driver development (not mandatory, but beneficial).
