Experience using lab equipment (oscilloscopes, signal generators, etc.)
Practical experience programming microcontrollers in C or C++
Desirable (but not essential):
Knowledge of embedded software development environments, version control (e.g., Git), and debugging tools (e.g., JTAG, SWD)
Exposure to real-time operating systems (RTOS) or bare-metal embedded programming
Understanding of communication protocols (I²C, SPI, UART, CAN, etc.)
Exposure to EMC compliance, design for manufacture, or design for test
Previous involvement in taking products from concept to production
What's on Offer:
Mentorship and ongoing development in both electronics and embedded software
