• Create software examples and reference implementations that simplify customer integration. 

• Validate hardware and software solutions through system-level testing and use-case development. 

• Generate technical collateral including application notes, user guides, quick-start guides, training material, demonstrations, and support content. 

• Support customer design-in activities, troubleshooting, debugging, and issue resolution. 

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define software requirements and customer workflows. 

• Contribute to technical training for customers, field engineers, partners, and distributors. 

• Support trade shows, demonstrations, customer visits, and technology evaluations. 

Desired Qualifications 

• BS or MS in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. 

• Strong C/C++ embedded software development experience. 

• Experience with microcontrollers, embedded Linux, or real-time operating systems. 

• Experience with communication interfaces such as USB, USB Power Delivery, I²C, SPI, UART, Ethernet, or similar protocols. 

• Experience developing software drivers, SDKs, or middleware. 

• Experience developing desktop or web-based GUIs and customer tools. 

• Experience with Python or other scripting languages for automation and testing. 

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills across hardware and software domains. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
