  • Control and integrate wireless modules:
    Bluetooth, Wi‑Fi, LoRa, NFC
  • Debug, fault-find, and improve reliability/performance of embedded systems
  • Produce customer‑ready documentation, test evidence, and reports
  • Evaluate and introduce new tools, techniques, and processes where useful
  • 5+ years developing embedded / real‑time systems
  • Strong commercial experience with modern C++ and C
