Experience with C or C++

Nice to haves:

Developing software for embedded systems or telecom products
Understanding of CPU hardware architectures, hardware functional specifications, hardware timing diagrams, device data sheets
Understanding of real-time operating systems and embedded systems
Software development tools such as git, BitBucket, Gerrit, Jira, etc.
Unit test frameworks such as Google Test, JUnit, Robot, PyTest, and the like
Debuggers and tools (e.g., gdb), especially for troubleshooting embedded systems in user space and kernel space
High-level programming and scripting languages such as Java, Python, Perl, Tcl, bash; YANG modeling language and toolchains; software development methodologies such as Agile or Waterfall; familiarity with datacom and telecom concepts such as DWDM, SONET/SDH, OTN, Ethernet, OSI Model, TCP/IP, MPLS
