  • Strong Python background with experience in hardware control, automation, or test systems.
  • Hands-on experience with electromechanical systems: motors, encoders, sensors, power electronics, and control loops.
  • Working knowledge of embedded C for microcontroller-based systems
  • Comfortable using Bash / Linux environments for scripting, debugging, and system operations.
  • Experience supporting systems in a production or manufacturing environment is a strong plus.
