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 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.
