  • Strong in embedded C/C++, with some Python

  • Familiar with RTOS, Altium/KiCad, and debugging tools

  • Experience with PCB design, sensor integration, motor control

  • Skilled in designing for EMI/EMC, thermal, and real-world rugged use

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Robotics, or related field

  • Strong problem-solver with a bias for action and hands-on experimentation

  • Comfortable in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary environments
