* Expert-level proficiency in embedded C programming, device drivers, and hardware abstraction layers (HALs).
* Strong Java programming experience within embedded or customized runtime environments.
* Deep understanding of ARM processor architectures, hardware-software integration, startup/shutdown sequences, sleep modes, external memory, and peripheral interfaces.
* Experience designing, optimizing, and troubleshooting firmware in embedded RTOS environments.
* Experience with SPI variants, I2C error handling, and inter-processor communication methods.
* Knowledge of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular communication technologies.
* Experience implementing firmware build automation, CI/CD processes, and automated unit testing frameworks.
* Experience with secure boot mechanisms, multi-stage bootloaders, and encryption technologies.
* Strong documentation, debugging, and testing skills with a focus on diagnostics and manufacturing testability.
** Preferred Qualifications
*** Experience developing firmware for metering, industrial, IoT, or other connected embedded products.
* Experience supporting products through full product lifecycle, from concept through mass production.
* Demonstrated ability to thrive in fast-paced, highly collaborative engineering environments focused on continuous learning and rapid execution.
