– Run technical benchmarking and competitive analysis

– Work closely with R&D and product teams on application-specific features

– Support strategic customers during design-in and deployment

– Train and support Field Application Engineers

– Contribute to roadmap discussions, project reviews, and technical reporting

– Collaborate actively across teams

Technical focus

– Embedded firmware for radio controllers and protocol stacks

– Driver development (radio, USB, SPI, I2C, UART, timers, RTC)

– RTOS-based real-time systems

– Integration on SoC, MCU, and ASIC platforms

– Hardware and software debugging using lab equipment

What we’re looking for

– Degree in computer or electrical engineering (Master’s preferred)

– 8+ years of embedded software experience

– Strong C/C++, solid Python, exposure to low-level systems

– Hands-on RTOS experience
