* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Desirable Experience:
* Exposure to embedded systems or low-level systems development
* Background in C programming, particularly for system-level code
* Experience working in Linux environments
* Knowledge of regulated or security-critical domains (e.g. finance, telecoms)
