- Expert-level Modern C++ (14/17/20), including a deep understanding of memory management, multi-threading, and the development of deterministic, real-time systems
- Strong Python skills for rapid prototyping, data analysis, and tool development
- Deep understanding of 3D geometry, linear algebra, and coordinate transformations (quaternions, SE(3))
- Demonstrated depth in at least one of the following, with working breadth across the others:
