• Experience developing automated test solutions and supporting software verification and validation throughout the product development lifecycle

• Experience working in Linux-based environments with modern software development workflows and version control practices

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to collaborate across software, firmware, hardware, and quality teams


Preferred Background:

• Experience with hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing and system-level verification of embedded products

• Hands-on embedded development experience, including firmware debugging, microcontrollers, and hardware/software integration

• Experience with C/C++ in embedded systems or application-level software environments

• Experience testing Linux-based C++ applications, GUI interfaces, or hardware communication protocols
