Strong working knowledge of ARM Cortex-M (STM32) microcontrollers.
Experience with CANbus and RS-485 communication protocols.
Knowledge of Linux or embedded Linux environments for future system development.
Experience in regulated industries such as aerospace, automotive, or medical devices.
Excellent debugging, optimisation, and problem-solving skills.
Strong communication and documentation abilities.
Desirable Skills
Familiarity with RTOS environments
Experience with graphical frameworks for embedded GUIs.
Exposure to functional safety or quality standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
