  • A keen eye for hardware-in-the-loop testing.
  • Experience with STM and PlatformIO are strongly preferred.
  • Previous experience with Python is advantageous.
  • Experience with IoT deployment is preferred, particularly experience with Balena.

Your role will encompass both pure firmware and cross-functional projects. Assignments will range from sensor integration and real-time communication to control algorithms for motors.
