- Strong C AND Python programming skills.
- Hands-on system software development (drivers, filesystems, sockets) on Linux and/or QNX.
- Solid understanding of embedded software/systems and interfaces such as Ethernet and CAN.
- Proven track record shipping production software in automotive, aerospace, defense, robotics, or a nearby embedded domain.
- Strong debugging and troubleshooting; a generalist who dives deep fast and learns continuously.
- Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field highly preferred.

Details:
- Location: Ann Arbor, MI — onsite 5 days/week (no remote or relocation assistance).
- Schedule: Full-time, approx. 9–5/6, EST.
