• Research and integrate new tools, languages, or processes to enhance build and deployment efficiency.
• Oversee software configuration management and version control systems.
• Collaborate with developers and technical leadership to align build strategies with development workflows.
• Occasionally contribute to embedded software development (e.g., drivers, boot code, OS abstraction layers).
• Translate system requirements into technical components and support integration activities.
• Clearly communicate design and troubleshooting insights with internal teams, partners, and vendors.
• Participate in debugging, unit testing, and software verification tasks.
• Work directly with embedded hardware and support onsite system validation and testing.

Required Technical Skills:

• Strong hands-on experience with Jenkins or comparable CI/CD platforms.
• Proficient in Git version control systems (experience with ClearCase is a plus).
• Comfortable writing and debugging Bash shell scripts.
• Solid background in low-level embedded software development, particularly real-time drivers.
• Skilled with lab tools like oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other embedded debugging equipment.
• Experience working with serial communication protocols such as SPI and I2C.
• Familiarity with embedded system startup and OS-level configuration.
• Strong command of ANSI C and Python in embedded development contexts.
• Experience with RTOS and modern real-time system practices.
• Knowledge of embedded control system design patterns.
• Familiarity with Agile development methodologies is preferred.

Required Soft Skills:

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities.
• Effective interpersonal skills and a customer-oriented mindset.
• Ability to read and understand circuit diagrams and datasheets.
• Capable of working independently to troubleshoot and resolve technical issues.
