What you'll bring to this role:
- 3-5 years of experience in embedded systems design with preemptive, multitasking real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux.
-
Strong knowledge of programming languages (C/C++/C#) in an embedded software context, alongside familiarity with data structures, algorithms, and design patterns common to resource-constrained systems.
-
Experience in hands-on development and troubleshooting on embedded targets, with an adequate knowledge of reading schematics and component data sheets.
-
Experience working with SQL, encryption or cryptographic modules, and a solid understanding of underlying electronics affecting firmware development.
-
Experience programming in Rust and proficiency with modern scripting languages like bash, Python, or TCL is highly valued.
-
Post-secondary Diploma/Degree with a specialization in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
