Proficiency in using the Linux operating system for development and debugging.
Understanding of networking concepts and protocols, including Ethernet, TCP/IP, routers, and switches.
Comfort working with physical hardware in a lab setting, including configuring and validating embedded systems and networking equipment.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
Basic understanding of networking concepts and protocols in the context of embedded systems.

Experience using GitLab for source control, CI/CD, and collaboration.
Experience using Jira for issue tracking and agile project management.
Experience working in Agile or Scrum development environments.
Interest in long-term consulting engagements and contributing to large-scale, multi-year engineering programs.

The work involves regular hands-on interaction with embedded hardware, DSPs, FPGAs, routers, switches, and other networking equipment in a lab environment, alongside close collaboration with cross-functional engineering and vendor teams.
