- Strong debugging skills with JTAG/SWD, trace, and lab instruments
- Understanding of microcontroller/SoC architecture (memory, interrupts, DMA)
Preferred Qualifications
- ARM Cortex-M/R experience
- Low-latency, high-rate sensor data pipelines
- Safety-critical or functional-safety (ISO 26262) firmware experience
- Multi-core AMP/SMP RTOS configurations
