What you need
- Experience leading an embedded software team or serving as a technical lead responsible for execution, engineering quality, and team growth.
- Expert-level C and/or C++ experience developing production embedded systems.
- Experience with RTOS or embedded Linux environments, MCU bootloaders, device drivers, and board or SoC bring-up.
