Someone adaptable and capable of picking up new technologies (e.g. Linux, FPGA, or higher-level software where required)Desirable experience:

Embedded Linux or RTOS experience
Mains-powered design / power supply experience
Experience with single board computer or similar embedded platforms
Exposure to production or manufacturing environmentsWhy join KO2's client?
