- Provide technical input during planning, estimation, and design discussions
- Troubleshoot complex issues on ARM‑based microcontrollers and processors
Required Skills & Experience
- Extensive experience with Embedded C development
- Strong proficiency with Git and collaborative development workflows
- Deep understanding of ARM architectures and low‑level programming
- Proven experience leading projects or technical workstreams
- Strong debugging, problem‑solving, and system‑level thinking
- Comfortable working across both legacy codebases and new designs
- Excellent communication skills for cross‑functional collaboration
What We’re Looking For
- A hands‑on technical leader who can guide others while contributing directly
