  • Work with microcontrollers (ARM-based) and embedded platforms.
  • Integrate and interface modules such as GSM, sensors, and external devices.
  • Perform hardware-level debugging and system bring-up.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams across hardware and software.


Requirements:

  • Strong proficiency in C/C++ (core requirement).
  • Experience with Embedded Linux (kernel, drivers, and system-level programming).
  • Solid understanding of communication protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, etc. ).
  • Hands-on experience with microcontrollers (ARM preferred).
