• Strong electrical and embedded systems fundamentals.
• Hands-on technical experience debugging complex subsystems involving network microprocessors and software-controlled electrical or electromechanical devices.
• Ability to read and interpret C/C++ or similar embedded systems languages.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Experience in MATLAB, Python, or equivalent tools for modeling and analysis.
• Proficient in data visualization.

• Define system and component level requirements through first principles analysis and hardware/model-based testing.
• Prototype and characterize new sensing hardware to best meet target requirements.
• Work with vendors on custom hardware to optimize for platform use cases.
• Design and develop early system prototypes to de-risk new technologies.
• Understand and highlight n-th order impacts of electrical, software, or process changes.
• Triage and debug hardware and software interactions during design, launch, and deployment.
• Be responsible for overall functional and performance readiness of a system and its features during the full product life cycle.
