  • Familiarity with real-time systems constraints, including interrupt handling, scheduling, and deterministic behavior.
  • Experience with communication protocols (CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, Ethernet, Modbus, etc.).
  • Basic understanding of control systems (discrete controls, filters, transformations).
  • Experience translating algorithms from MATLAB/Simulink into embedded code is a plus.
  • Experience with HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) and/or SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) environments is highly desirable.
  • Experience with Git automation and GitHub API integration.
  • Exposure to compliance/certifications with standards is highly desirable.
  • Experience or interest in embedded cybersecurity is a plus.
