- Build and optimise real-time applications on microcontrollers and embedded Linux platforms using RTOS where required
- Own hardware-software integration across RF modules, sensors, communication interfaces, and power systems
- Implement and debug communication protocols, including SPI, I2C, UART, CAN, and Ethernet
- Lead board bring-up activities, subsystem validation, and system-level testing
- Diagnose complex issues using oscilloscopes, logic analysers, JTAG, and other debugging tools
- Improve performance, reliability, and stability in constrained and high-interference environments
- Collaborate closely with RF, FPGA, mechanical, and systems teams to ensure cohesive architecture
- Take end-to-end ownership of firmware modules, from architecture and implementation to field validation
Nice to have
- Experience in defence, aerospace, automotive, or other safety-critical systems
