## What they're looking for

- 2+ years building firmware for resource-constrained systems , on products that shipped to real customers and then had to survive in the field
- Fluency in C. You know what the compiler is doing, and you can read a linker map, a stack trace, or a corrupted heap without guessing
- Solid bare-metal and RTOS experience - Zephyr, FreeRTOS, or equivalent. You have made scheduling, memory and timing decisions. Mutexes and semaphores are everyday tools for you
- Fluency in the low-level interfaces - SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, ADC and the ability to debug the seam between hardware and software
- Real bench instincts. The usage of an oscilloscope, network analyzer, or RF spectrum analyzer, is how you form a hypothesis, not what you reach for after the print statements run out
- Cross-team scope. You have contributed to work spanning hardware, firmware, cloud and quality from concept to shipped product. You have worked effectively across teams to build consensus
