  • Experience with device communication standards and protocols (TCP/IP, RS-232, RS-485)
  • Development and implementation of algorithms and data structures
  • Ability to work effectively in a team environment
  • Desired โ€” experience with any of the following:
    • Revision control and source code management tools (e.g., Git, ClearCase)
    • Integration and use of third-party software, libraries, and tools
    • Development for Linux
    • Additional programming languages such as low-level assembly, Python, Rust, or C#
    • Object-Oriented Analysis and Design concepts
    • .NET Framework and Visual Studio
    • Database concepts and SQL
    • Waterfall or Agile software development life cycles
    • Graphical User Interface (GUI) development
