• Solid understanding of interrupts, multitasking, threading, synchronization, memory management, and other operating system fundamentals.
• Familiarity with embedded communication protocols including CAN, CAN FD, CANopen, SPI, IC, and UART.
• Skilled in embedded debugging using tools such as JTAG, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and integrated development environments.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, hardware specifications, and system documentation.
• Comfortable working with Git, Jira, SonarQube, and modern source control and software quality tools.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively, mentor engineers, and build strong relationships across technical teams, suppliers, and customers.

What Sets You Apart:

• Master's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
• Battery Management System (BMS), energy storage, high-voltage battery, or fuel cell development.
• Familiarity with functional safety standards such as ISO 26262 or IEC 61508.
• Embedded development using ARM Cortex processors, DSPs, or comparable microcontroller architectures.
• MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW, or model-based design tools.
• Exposure to robotics, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or other safety-critical industries.
• Leadership in Agile software development environments and continuous improvement initiatives.
